Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Predictions

The Knight Riders finished the group stages on top of the IPL table, with five wins from their last six completed matches, including four on the bounce. The Sunrisers’ recent form is inconsistent, with three wins and three losses in a row. The Knight Riders have the confidence and the form to outplay the Sunrisers in all departments and look good for the win.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ Sunil Narine (461 runs) is 10th in the IPL runs list.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ Venkatesh Iyer has scored 39, 26*, 70 & 42 in his last four innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma has scored 75* & 66 in his last 2 innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Travis Head has scored 58, 48 & 89* in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Knight Riders have won three of their last four matches against the Sunrisers, including the last two in a row.

Kolkata Knight Riders Form

Their last two matches have been abandoned, but their previous match saw them beat the Mumbai Indians by 18 runs.

The Knight Riders hit 157/7 off their rain-reduced 16 overs, Venkatesh Iyer top-scoring with 42 off 21 balls.

Varun Chakravarthy starred with the ball, returning figures of 2/17 (econ 4.25), as Mumbai struggled to 139/8 off their 16 overs.

Kolkata Knight Riders Team News

Phil Salt has scored 435 runs in this year’s IPL, but he has returned to England to prepare for the World Cup and won’t be available for the Knight Riders again this season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

The Sunrisers won two of their last three group matches, with the match against the Titans being abandoned without a ball bowled.

Their last match saw them chase down a tough total set by the Punjab Kings, who racked up 214/5 off their 20 overs. Natarajan (2/33) was the pick of the Sunrisers’ bowlers.

The Sunrisers knocked off the winning runs with five balls and four wickets to spare. Abhishek Sharma (66 off 28 balls) and Heinrich Klaasen (42 off 26 balls) did the damage with the bat.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News

The Sunrisers have had a good break ahead of the playoffs and have plenty of batting power at their disposal, but their form with bat and ball has been inconsistent.

Verdict

Kolkata Knight Riders v Sunrisers Hyderabad

I am backing Kolkata Knight Riders to win. I am also backing Phil Salt to top score for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Abhishek Sharma is a good bet to top score for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
