Rajasthan Royals will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 30 of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium. Both teams have had an excellent start to the tournament but have some weaknesses exposed, in their last few games. Kolkata Knight Riders, in particular, have suffered back-to-back defeats and their opening woes have continued despite the axing of Ajinkya Rahane. Aaron Finch might get another chance at the top to prove his credentials while Varun Chakravarthy will be looking to recover from the off-day he had.On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals felt the absence of Trent Boult in the line-up with inexperienced Kuldeep Sen, going for plenty. Rassie van der Dussen yet again was dismissed cheaply and Yashasvi Jaiswal might get a look in again at the top of the order. Shimron Hetmyer has been a revelation for them in the middle overs and the franchise will be looking to get back to winning ways in their upcoming encounter.

PITCH REPORT

The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium generally assists both bowlers and batsmen, with the dew factor coming to play deep in the match. The short boundaries and a quick outfield are expected to thrill the batsmen.
