Match 47 IPL 2013 –Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals
Date – Fri May 3
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – Eden Gardens, Kolkata

Today in the 47th match of IPL 2013, Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens. KKR who are the defending champions are reeling at 7th position in the points table and need to win almost every match from now on to make it to the play offs. The problematic areas for KKR has been the batting line up. Earlier Gambhir showed some form but lack of support from others have added so much pressure on the young captain that he also is falling apart. Big names like Brendon McCullum, Jacques Kallis and Eoin Morgan need to find their form soon other wise the defending champions will be facing exit in the first round.

On the other hand Rajasthan Royals are placed at third number in points table and will be looking to cement their place in play offs with a win today. With 6 wins out of 9 matches played so far, the team has clicked as a whole so far. The main reason for Royals good performance so far has been the ability of players to shoulder responsibility. With the likes of Rahul Dravid, Shane Watson, Stuart Binny and Brad Hodge, the team’s batting looks formidable.
