Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) have their task cut out against Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as the 2008 champions are rock-bottom in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 standings after three defeats to their name. The one-time champions have struggled to bask in winning form ever since the 14th edition of domestic cricket's biggest extravaganza kicked off for them at the Wankhede Stadium.

At the same venue, the crestfallen Rajasthan will face two-time champions Kolkata on Saturday and nothing less than a win will help them revive their campaign. With just a single win from four matches, Rajasthan Royals have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the 14th season of the cash-rich league. Royals have suffered major injury blows as the 2008 champions are without the likes of Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, and Liam Livingstone for the rest of the season. Match prediction: Even though both teams are coming into the high-voltage clash after contrasting defeats in the IPL 2021, Morgan's KKR are tipped to finish ahead of Rajasthan Royals to mount more pressure on skipper Samson. While KKR came close in terms of registering a stunning win, RR witnessed a heavy bashing at the hands of Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

In a clash where RR will be busy making the most of their depleted squad, the Morgan-led KKR side is expected to build on the momentum by registering their second win of the new season at Wankhede. Following Rajasthan Royals' return to the IPL in 2018, KKR have enjoyed the bragging rights by taking 12-10 lead in head-to-head meetings. KKR and RR have played 22 matches in the shortest format. Kolkata have upstaged Rajasthan on 12 occasions.

RR vs KKR VIVO IPL 2021: Captain, Fantasy Playing Tips, Today's Probable XIs For Today's Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders T20 Match 18 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai 7.30 PM IST April 24 Saturday: Beleaguered Rajasthan Royals, who are stuck at the bottom of the points table, will face another lowly-placed team - Kolkata Knight Riders in an Indian Premier League 2021 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday night. While Royals have managed just one win in four matches and have the worst net run rate among all teams, their opponents KKR too have been finding the going tough. They also have one win in four games but are ahead of both RR and Punjab Kings on net run rate. KKR's net run rate could, however, have been poorer had their lower order not clicked in the last match against CSK. The batting performance of Andre Russell and The rise of Pat Cummins as a batsman in their 18-run defeat to CSK will provide a big boost but it can't paper over the failure of their star batsmen, who have floundered even while chasing even modest target. The seamers too have leaked runs in the death overs. Having struggled on Chepauk's slow surface, KKR had hoped to return to winning ways at the Wankhede but Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad took their attack to the cleaners and amassed a massive 220 for 3 in their previous match.
