Both teams will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering defeats in their opening game of the season. The defending champions, KKR, will look to get a big total on the board to ensure the bowlers have enough to work with.
RR under Riyan Parag’s captaincy will look to improve themselves on the field. Considering that their fielding let them down in a high-scoring game, they would want to plug those holes to ensure the batters have to work for their runs.
Expect warm and humid conditions in Guwahati here, and dew is likely to play a factor in the second innings. So, winning the toss and batting first could be the call for both teams here.
