The 28th match of the ongoing 13th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played between the 3rd and 4th position teams of IPL. And the biggest of all is that it will be played jnm in Sharjah tomorro.

In the six matches that both the teams have played this season, they have won four and lost two to perform equally so far. However, it is Knight Riders’ better net run rate which keeps them at the third position on the points table as compared to RCB.What is highly likely to add fuel to fire between Kolkata and Bangalore’s clash is the short boundary of the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The same reason has it in it for the match involving the likes of Andre Russell and AB de Villiers to be watched by cricket fans across the globe.
