After the extraordinary scenes in the previous contest, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host Aiden Markram’s Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Nitish Rana-led KKR started off their campaign with a loss, however, the side swiftly got two consecutive victories and have a healthy Net Run Rate (NRR) of 1.375.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, SRH started off their campaign with two back-to-back losses and followed it with a win in their most recent outing against Punjab Kings. Speaking about their head-to-head records in the last five matches, KKR have an upper hand with wins in four occasions whereas, SRH have only prevailed once.
The orange-outfit will look to maintain their momentum; however, a tough outing is expected when they face a high-flying KKR team, in an away game. It remains to be seen what transpires as the two sides will lock horns on Friday, April 14 in Kolkata.
