Prediction
KKR to Win (Margin: 15-25 runs or 3-4 wickets).
Why KKR: Superior all-round depth, Russell’s X-factor, and a stronger spin attack for the Guwahati conditions.
Wildcard Factor: If RR’s Jurel or Parag fires in the middle order, the game could swing their way.
Final Word: Expect fireworks from both sides, but KKR’s balance and experience in clutch moments give them the edge. A high-scoring thriller awaits!
