KKR come into the contest after a five-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. Batting first, they were bowled out for 180, with Cameron Green scoring 79 off 55 balls while the rest of the batting lineup struggled. Gujarat chased down the target in the final over despite disciplined spells from Varun Chakaravarthy (2/34) and Sunil Narine.
RR, on the other hand, suffered a 57-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After conceding 216/6, the Royals collapsed dramatically to 9/5 in the chase. A lower-order fightback added some respectability, but the damage had already been done.
