Can Kolkata rejoice with a thumping win?

Kolkata Knight Riders set the UAE leg on fire with a string of impressive performances. They have won 4 out of their 6 games here in the UAE. KKR are currently occupying the 4th spot in the points table thanks to their superior net run rate. A win over RR will all but ensure them of a playoff spot. They will be up against Rajasthan, a team that desperately needs to win.

Does Rajasthan have a stomach for one last fight?

Jofra Archer, the MVP of last year had withdrawn from the tournament even before it began. Ben Stokes, their leading light quit post the first game. Jos Buttler, their talisman skipped the UAE leg. Their high-profile signing, Chris Morris has had a horrendous run of form in UAE. RR are one team have suffered the most setbacks this season but they have refused to give up.
