The Knight Riders have dominated the head-to-head meetings between the two sides and even in the first meeting between them in IPL 2024, it was the men from the east that reigned supreme in the south in what was a one-sided affair. RCB will be looking to avenge that loss and break thier five-match losing streak as well.
