Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on May 17. This game is super important for both teams. RCB is hoping for a win to get closer to one of the top two spots. For KKR, it feels like a must-win to keep their chances alive. RCB has been stronger this season, but they might miss star bowler Josh Hazlewood due to a shoulder injury, which is a tough break for them. KKR has been a bit all over the place, but the break has given them a chance to regroup and rethink their approach. This match should be exciting.
