KKR vs RCB head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 39 of IPL 2020
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a magnificent IPL 2020 campaign so far, as the Virat Kohli-led outfit have registered six wins in nine games. They will battle familiar foes, the Kolkata Knight Riders, in their tenth fixture of the season, and a win in this match would almost guarantee RCB a spot in the playoffs.
On the other hand, the Kolkata Knight Riders have been inconsistent in IPL 2020. They have played nine matches, winning five and losing four. In their previous encounter, the Eoin Morgan-led team beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a Super Over.
The 2-time IPL winners will be keen to avenge their previous loss against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. These two franchises battled at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium earlier in IPL 2020, where RCB emerged victorious by 82 runs. AB de Villiers played an epic knock of 73 runs, and the RCB bowlers restricted KKR to just 112/9 in 20 overs.
Virat Kohli will expect a similar performance from his team in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. Here's a look at the two teams' head-to-head stats before their reverse fixture in IPL 2020.
