KKR vs RR LIVE SCORE, IPL 2024: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of IPL 2024 fixture set to be played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It’s a top of the table clash with KKR currently sitting at the second place on the points tally and RR finding themselves at the summit of the points tally. While the inaugural champions have 5 wins from 6 matches, KKR find themselves with 4 wins from 5 fixtures.

A win for KKR will in all probability get them the summit place on the IPL 2024 points table owing to their superior net run rate of +1.688 compared to RR’s +0.767. With two teams in some good form heading into this fixture, this looks like a cracker jacker of a game on the cards.

The match is also being looked upon as two teams who have the best and the worst batting performance in the powerplay. KKR are one of the best sides with an average of over 47, RR’s average have been 30. Will that be a hint of things to come?

On the other hand, it will also be a battle of RR’s bowling vs KKR’s batting. RR has the best economy rate combined as a unit in this IPL while KKR have gone about their business all in one gear- attack, attack and attack, especially inside the powerplay from where their power hitters have come to the rescue.

All in all, stage looks set for an entertaining evening of cricket.
