Rajasthan Royals Vs Kolkata Knight Riders: A Statistical Preview Before IPL 2024 Clash In Guwahati
Rajasthan Royals aim to bounce back from a disappointing loss and secure the second spot when they host Kolkata Knight Riders in match 70 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Assam on Sunday, May 19.
Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals (RR) will look to halt a three-match losing streak after suffering a 5-wicket loss to Punjab Kings in their most recent outing. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) sealed the top spot after their match against Gujarat Titans was washed out.

In their last game, RR failed to defend a modest total of 144 against Punjab Kings at the same venue in Guwahati. On the other hand, KKR's clash against Gujarat Titans was abandoned without a ball being bowled at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
RR will draw confidence from their previous fixture against KKR. The Royals rode on Jos Buttler's unbeaten century, which overshadowed Sunil Narine's maiden hundred, to achieve one of the highest chases in IPL history with two wickets in the final over.
In the 28 head-to-head meetings between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL, both teams have won 14 times each. In the last four meetings, RR leads 3-1, including their most recent victory where they chased down 224 in Kolkata. Below are detailed stats and performances:
