Rajasthan will be hoping to register a hat-trick of wins in the Dream11 IPL 2020 when they lock horns against a resurgent Kolkata at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Wednesday. The 2008 champions would be high on confidence after getting the better of their northern rivals Punjab in what was an edge-of-the-seat thriller on Sunday night. Steve Smith & Co. ended up registering the highest run-chase in the tournament's history when they chased down a mammoth target of 224 at Sharjah against the KL Rahul-led side.

The two-time winners on the other hand would be hoping to register a second win under their belt. They had staged a remarkable comeback against Hyderabad last Saturday after having lost their tournament opener to the title-holders Mumbai Indians.

Both sides are packed with some prominent players in the shortest format of the game, which is why an exciting contest is on the cards. As Rajasthan gear up to take on Kolkata in the Dream11 IPL 2020, let's take a look at the Rajasthan vs Kolkata head to head and the leading players of the rivalry.

Rajasthan and Kolkata have both won 10 contests each. During the last edition of the tournament, both teams battled it out in two league games and won one game each. While Rajasthan defeated Kolkata in their own backyard by 3 wickets, Dinesh Karthik's men avenged their defeat in the reverse fixture by emerging victorious by 8 wickets.

These two sides had also met in the UAE way back in the 2014 edition of the tournament when they played out one of the most exciting matches in the history of the league. Chasing a modest target of 152, Kolkata were cruising towards victory. They just needed 16 runs off 12 balls but James Faulkner bowled an exceptional penultimate over and picked up three wickets to bring his side back into the game.

Kolkata scored 11 in the Super Over with the help of a maximum scored by Manish Pandey. Shane Watson and Steve Smith came to bat for Rajasthan against Sunil Narine. The Australian duo also scored 11 runs in the Super Over, which resulted in a tie. However, it was Rajasthan who won the game because of the boundary countback rule.

As far as Wednesday's fixture is concerned, Steve Smith's side will look continue their dominance at the top by winning the Rajasthan vs Kolkata live match while the Men in Purple will look to sneak into the top four by securing a victory in this fixture.

For Rajasthan, Steve Smith and Jos Buttler also boast of some good numbers. Buttler averages above 35 in 7 games at a strike rate of 138 against Kolkata so far while Smith has an average of 36 in 9 games.
