The Royal Kings (RYK) will take on the Desert Raiders (DR) in the 28th match of the KCC T20 Championship at the Sulaibiya Cricket Ground in Kuwait on Monday, February 20. Ahead of this exciting match, here's all you need to know about the RYK vs DR Dream11 Prediction, today's playing 11s, fantasy cricket tips, best player picks, and the pitch report.
Royal Kings, who are currently bottom of the points table, have only won one of their four matches in the tournament. Their bowling attack, led by Renil Raj and Kannan Sadasivan, has been the only positive factor for them. They have the ability to pick up wickets but have so far failed to deliver as a unit.
Desert Raiders, on the other hand, have had a mixed run, winning two of their six games. They've struggled with consistency in both the batting and bowling departments, with only a few standout individual performances. However, if players like Sasanka Widanagama and Ravindu Sanjeewa get going, they could pose a threat to the Royal Kings' bowling attack.
