KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11 Updates, Pitch Report and Injury Updates For Match 54 – Oct 7th 2021

Preview:

Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against Rajasthan Royals in the 54^th match of the IPL. This will be the final league game in this edition’s IPL for both teams. Knight Riders must win this match in order to keep their playoffs hopes alive. On a positive note, their net run-rate is better than Mumbai Indians at the moment, but they wouldn’t want to depend on other teams’ results. With 6 wins and 7 losses, Eoin Morgan and his men are currently placed at the fourth spot in the standings with 12 points.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are almost out of the tournament, since they lost to Mumbai Indians in their previous encounter by 8 wickets with 70 balls still left in the match. The chances of them qualifying are very slim, their net run-rate is way too low as compared to that of MI, PBKS or KKR. They still would want to give their best in this match.
