Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders IPL 2020: Hello and welcome to our coverage of RR vs KKR live IPL match from Dubai. India's 2018 Under-19 World Cup-winning pace duo of Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti led a clinical bowling display to help Kolkata Knight Riders register a comprehensive 37-run win over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL match on Wednesday. Mavi and Nagarkoti, who battled injuries in the last two seasons, claimed two wickets apiece, while Varun Chakravarthy also got two to restrict the Royals to 137 for 9 in 20 overs while chasing a target of 175. This was after star Australian pacer Pat Cummins (1/19 from 3 overs) dismissed Steve Smith (3) as the Royals crumbled on a tricky run chase to suffer their first defeat after two successive wins.For KKR, this was their second successive victory and they jumped to second spot behind Delhi Capitals. The margin of defeat would have been much bigger but for Tom Curran who remained unbeaten on 54 (from 36 balls) for a lost cause.

RR vs KKR Live updates: PITCH REPORT!
Pitch report by Michael Slater and Simon Doull
"We are back in Dubai and we have the same pitch that was used two nights ago with a day in between. Rolled in grass, very firm underneath and we know that batting was really starting to work here. It is hard for the bowlers. This particular ground, the spinners are really starting to take control. They have taken more wickets and bowled less than the quick bowlers, they are really starting to play a role. Biggest ground we have got. We have a great illustration of what happens in Sharjah that does not happen here. And that's what brings the spinners in play. I am batting first here, yes two have gone to the Super Over but all five games have been won by the team batting first,"
