Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator match of IPL 2021 tonight at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. One of the two teams' Indian Premier League campaign will end tonight.
The winner of this game will battle the Delhi Capitals for a place in the IPL 2021 Final, while the loser will be eliminated.
Although the Royal Challengers Bangalore finished higher than the Kolkata Knight Riders in the standings, KKR will have more confidence tonight as they crushed RCB earlier this season in the UAE.
The two teams locked horns in Abu Dhabi on September 20, 2021, where KKR recorded a nine-wicket win. KKR fans will hope for a similar performance from their team tonight in Sharjah.
