The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will open the second half of their IPL 2021 campaign with a match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Ahmedabad.

The two franchises locked horns at MA Chidambaram Stadium earlier in IPL 2021. In that game, the outstanding performances of AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell helped the Royal Challengers Bangalore beat the Kolkata Knight Riders by 38 runs.

The Knight Riders will be keen to avenge that defeat in their next IPL 2021 match. Here's a look at KKR's head-to-head stats against RCB before the two teams cross swords again this season.
