Prediction
The Kolkata Knight Riders will start favorites for this game with the kind of momentum they have. The Rajasthan Royals in spite of winning against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, have some weakness in the bowling and depend a lot on Buttler to fire for them to win.

Tips to Win
The Rajasthan Royals will have to find a way to stop Andre Russell. They should try to use the pace of Archer and spin of Gopal against him.

The Knight Riders on the other hand, will want to use wrist spin of Chawla or Kuldeep straight away against Jos Buttler, who is the key to the Royals winning the game.
