Kolkata Knight Riders and Sun Risers Hyderabad are two teams in the Dream 11 Indian Premier League that opened the season with a failure. They are now playing against each other, intending to taste the success. In the eighth match of the current season, both the teams will sweat it out in the middle to open their account with a win.
Sun Risers Hyderabad failed to perform well in their first game with Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mitchell Marsh’s injury and the failure of the middle-order have cost the team a lot. On the other side, Kolkata Knight Riders put a poor show with Mumbai Indians in their previous match. Poor bowling and batting put the team away from the success.
Head to Head, both the teams played a total of 17 matches. KKR won 10 games while SRH won 7 games. Indeed, KKR has the upper hand, but this time, the SRH team looks strong and promising. It will not be easy for KKR to defeat SRH.
Teams wise, Mitchell Marsh, is out of the tournament with an injury. Jason Holder will replace Marsh in the team. There are chances for Nabi to come in for Marsh too. The team will have to concentrate more on the middle order also.
On the other side, except for Mavi and Narine, the bowlers of KKR failed. The team must introspect their shortcomings to bring out their best for the current match.
The match takes place at Sheikh Zayed International Cricket Stadium. It is a small stadium, and we can expect a high scoring game. The game begins at 7.30 PM IST.
