A blockbuster clash is on the cards as Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 on March 28. The two franchises have had a lot of history, having featured in some of the most memorable matches in IPL so far and fans can expect another exciting addition to that list. RCB, the hosts of this contest, will look to continue their good form after their impressive win against Punjab Kings. The biggest positive from the match was Virat Kohli's knock with the former skipper finding form after a two-month gap from the game. Dinesh Karthik's finishing act also headlined RCB's win and he will look to do the same against his former side when the match takes place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 29. For RCB, the weaker link has been their bowling and come Friday, changes are expected in the pace department, with either Lockie Ferguson or Reece Topley likely to be named in the playing XI.

KKR on the other hand, have had a dramatic start to their campaign. Their top-order, barring Phil Salt, looked jittery against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The middle-order and an Andre Russell special bailed them out of trouble in their season opener. Later on, young Harshit Rana showed nerves of steel to eke out a four-run win for the Knight Riders. But come Friday, Shreyas Iyer and his team will know they would have to be nothing less than clinical to beat RCB in their own den. KKR's bowling attack also seemed that it needed work with Mitchell Starc, IPL's most expensive player, leaking runs left, right and centre, and a lot would be expected of him as he returns to play against his former team.
