Background
KKR vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2024: Welcome everybody to a double-header in the Indian Premier League (IPL). It is the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) who will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the first of the twin IPL fixtures scheduled this Sunday. The match will be a home affair for KKR who have been one of the more consistent teams this season with four wins from six matches. They will be up against RCB, a side which hasn't got going at all and are at the rock bottom of IPL 2024 points table with a solitary win and 6 defeats from 7 matches.
IPL 2024 KKR vs RCB Live Score, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: It's surely now or never for RCB who are on a five-match losing streak. With the tournament nearing its halfway mark, Bengaluru are running out of time to find a combination and strategy that works for them. While their bowling has been a concern, even some of their star batters like Glenn Maxwell and Rajat Patidar haven't performed as well as they would have liked, especially the Australian who has had a horror run in the season.
On the other hand, Kolkata seem to have more bases covered that otherwise this season. A win here and they would move to the second place on the points table, a testimony to the remarkable brand of cricket they have played. The team is getting some rich divided for the years of faith that they have shown in Sunil Narine and Andre Russell. There is every reason to believe that with Gautam Gambhir as the mentor KKR can go on to achieve what they did with him as the captain.
All in all, this looks set to be a cracking contest with a team desperate for a win up against a team which has looked good together as a unit so far.

KKR vs RCB, IPL 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
And Breathe. KKR, who go to the second place on the table, had a tough time beating RCB, at rock bottom. That explains why IPL is arguably the best cricket league in the world. 222/6 is what KKR managed. 221/10 is what RCB got. Almost got home, did RCB but not quite as their poor run continues. Jack and Patidar almost made it a walk in the park for RCB before KKR lost 4 wickets in 2 overs but then RCB found a way back into the match but eventually fell a run short.
That's it from our coverage of this game. Head over to the PBKS vs GT Live Blog where Punjab have elected to bat first.
