RR vs KKR: Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati pitch report

In the sixth match of the current Indian Premier League (IPL), RR vs KKR. The reigning champions got off to a shaky start, falling to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by seven wickets at Eden Gardens. Except for Sunil Narine and skipper Ajinkya Rahane, the batsmen struggled to establish their influence in the middle, costing them the match.

Kolkata had a great start, but their middle order failed to capitalise, which is something that the team management wants to rectify before the Rajasthan game. Bowling, too, was nothing extraordinary. Rahane did not put in Harshit or Narine early, which was surprising considering their previous effect, and this may have pushed the team out of the battle.

In contrast, Rajasthan was also defeated. They lost by 44 runs against Sunrissers Hyderabad, but the management will not dwell on it. It was a high-scoring environment, and SRH bats took advantage of it, scoring 286 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, and Shubham Dubey performed admirably, but it was insufficient.

Both clubs are looking for their first win right now, so their encounter on March 26 at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium is sure to be exciting.
