Pitch Report
Batters have usually enjoyed batting at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium due to fast pace wicket along with short boundaries and even bounce. This venue is historically considered a great venue for chasing as the chasing team has won around 54 percent of the matches here while the average par score here is around 175 runs. The team batting first will ideally want to score in the range of 190 runs to make up for the smaller boundaries.
RCB vs KKR Match 36 Probable Playing XIs
Different sports journalists in India have reported that Josh Hazlewood will likely miss out on tonight’s game as well and it is David Willey who will again start the proceedings with the ball for RCB. Virat Kohli is very much likely to continue as captain as Faf du Plessis is still recovering from his rib injury and he will most likely be subbed out for a bowler like Vijaykumar Vyshak or Karn Sharma after his contribution with the bat.
The good news for KKR is that Jason Roy is all set to be back on top as an opener as he has recovered fully from his minor injury while their impact player options are likely to remain the same with wrist spinner Suyash Sharma & Venkatesh Iye replacing each other for bat & ball first scenarios.
Below are the RCB vs KKR Match 36 probable playing XIs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore:
Possible XII: 1 Virat Kohli (capt), 2 Faf du Plessis, 3 Mahipal Lomror, 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Suyash Prabhudessai, 6 Shahbaz Ahmed, 7 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 8 Wanindu Hasaranga, 9 Harshal Patel, 10 David Willey, 11 Mohammed Siraj, 12 Vijaykumar Vyshak/Karn Sharma
Kolkata Knight Riders:
Possible XII: 1 Jason Roy, 2 N Jagadeesan (wk), 3 Venkatesh Iyer, 4 Nitish Rana (capt), 5 Rinku Singh, 6 Andre Russell, 7 Sunil Narine, 8 David Wiese/Lockie Ferguson/Tim Southee, 9 Umesh Yadav, 10 Kulwant Khejroliya/Vaibhav Arora, 11 Varun Chakravarthy, 12 Suyash Sharma
RCB vs KKR Match 36 Dream11 Prediction
With rain and cloud cover expected during the game, we predict pacers have a major role to play in RCB vs KKR Match 36 because the new ball might offer some sharp swing early on and if teams are able to play powerplay sensibly batting could become a lot easier later on but DLS can also come into play in tonight’s game.
Below is our best possible RCB vs KKR Match 36 Dream11 team.
Wicket-Keeper – Dinesh Karthik
Batsmen – Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Jason Roy (c)
All-rounders – Glenn Maxwell, Andre Russell, Wanindu Hasaranga
Bowlers – Harshal Patel, Mohammad Siraj (vc), Varun Chakravarthy, David Willey
With Jason Roy fully fit and ready to go we have named him as our captain for tonight’s game with Siraj as our vice-captain. Siraj has been mighty impressive with the ball in IPL 2023 already and with conditions a bit favorable to the bowlers tonight he can earn you the maximum fantasy points.
