Match Overview
Royal Challengers Bangalore slipped to their fourth consecutive defeat in IPL 2019 and now find themselves in a very sticky spot. Assuming 8 wins is what will get you through to the IPL 2019 playoffs, RCB now needs to win 8 out of its 10 remaining matches. The task ahead of RCB is not about to get any easier just yet. Royal Challengers Bangalore will be taking on the Kolkata Knight Riders at home. RCB vs KKR IPL 2019 in Bengaluru may appear to be a mismatch of sorts. After all, RCB has lost all of its matches this season and has appeared the worst side of the tournament while KKR has been extremely impressive. KKR narrowly lost out in the Super Over to the Delhi Capitals and will be keen to get back to winning ways. RCB needs to start afresh and this may mean trying a few more combinations but we don’t think there is any other alternative.

Pitch and Weather Report
The Chinnaswamy pitch has changed this season. It is assisting the batsmen as far as the India-Australia T20I and the RCB’s home game is concerned. With small boundaries on offer, it could turn out to be another run-fest in Bengaluru.
Fantasy Breakdown by THE BOWLJOB
Wicket-keeper: Parthiv Patel and Dinesh Karthik are the two options in this section. Both are good options but I prefer Parthiv Patel as he bats up the order and can be more effective against the weak bowling attack of Bangalore than Dinesh Karthik. You can pick Karthik as well but I prefer Parthiv Patel in this section.
Elite Pick: Parthiv Patel
Secondary Pick: Dinesh Karthik
Batsman: RCB woes continue his struggle in the tournament but I am expecting to bounce back in this match and this can be the match in which RCB can play a good inning. Virat and AB de Villiers are my first choice from RCB as they are in a very good spot against KKR and I am expecting a good inning from one of these two. These two are my elite pick from RCB and there are no secondary and punt picks. From KKR we have Chris Lynn, Rana, and Robin Uthappa to pick from. So if you are picking Kohli and AB then you have to fade Lynn and considering the form, Rana and Uthappa are the very good pick against the weak bowling attack of RCB. So Rana and Uthappa are my elite pick and Lynn is my secondary pick.
Elite Picks: Virat, AB de Villiers, Rana, and Robin Uthappa
Secondary Picks: Lynn
Punt Picks: none
All Rounders: Andre Russel is an auto-play in this section as he is the man in form, can bowl some overs and bats brutely. He is one of the best fantasy players in this IPL and must be slotted in your dream11 team. From RCB we have M Stoinis and M Ali having international experience, they are bowling some overs and bats at top 6 so these two are my secondary picks.
Elite Picks: Andre Russel
Secondary Picks: M Stoinis and M Ali
Punt Picks: none
Bowlers: We have the teams with the weakest bowling attack in this game as both RCB and KKR bowlers has performed poorly throughout the tournament so I prefer to save credits here. From the RCB, Chahal is the lead bowler and Umesh and Siraj are the secondary picks. Chahal is in form but if you don’t have enough credits then you can fade him. Umesh and Siraj are bowling well at the death so they are my secondary picks. Navdeep Saini is bowling at a speed of 150km/hr so he can be your punt player. From the KKR Kuldeep had very performance in the last match so I will fade him. Chawla and Lockiehad a good performance in the last matches so you can take them and Prasidh Krishna can be your punt player.
Elite Picks: Chahal
Secondary Picks: Umesh, Siraj, Chawla, and Lockie
Punt Picks: Prasidh Krishna and Navdeep Saini
