Difficult season for KKR
- SRH have lost four on the trot
- KKR have lost seven of their 12 games
Kolkata Knight Riders come off the back of a 52-run win over Mumbai Indians and have odds of 1.77 to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in this fixture. With several issues to sort in batting and bowling, KKR aren’t the strongest side this season and they will likely have a tough game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

What happened earlier…
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders met earlier in the season in a game that highlighted everything that’s wrong with the KKR outfit. A fiery Umran Malik exposed the chink in Shreyas Iyer’s armoury and SRH eventually went on to win by seven wickets.

The match could be decided by how Umran Malik could go against KKR’s middle-order that is susceptible to high pace and bounce as Jasprit Bumrah showed last match. Can they see off the Umran Malik threat?
Keep an eye on…
Shreyas Iyer: Expected to play the anchor role in the middle and carry the KKR line-up, Shreyas Iyer hasn’t quite had a great season despite notching up decent numbers. His issues against the short balls further pegs him back.
Nicholas Pooran: The primary threat posed by KKR is their spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine and in Nicholas Pooran SRH have the perfect antidote, capable of going big against spin.
TIP: Nitish Rana is in good touch and played well last game against SRH. He has odds of 6.27 to be KKR’s top batter.
