Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Predictions

Sunrisers have lost their last two matches on the bounce, but their batters are really looking good so I’m backing them to bounce back with a win over the Knight Riders. Both sides have lost two of their three matches this season, with the Knight Riders sure to be low on confidence after being skittled for 116 by the Mumbai Indians in their last match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Aniket Verma has scored 36 & 74 in his last 2 innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Travis Head has scored 59*, 39, 67, 47 & 22 in his last 5 innings.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ Quinton de Kock top-scored with 97* off 61 balls in the win over Rajasthan Royals.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ Sunil Narine has scored 22* & 44 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Knight Riders have won the last four matches in a row against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Kolkata Knight Riders Form

After beating Rajasthan Royals in their season match of the season, the Knight Riders suffered a thumping loss to Mumbai Indians.

The Knight Riders were rolled for 116 in 16.2 overs by an on-fire Mumbai attack. Angkrish Raghuvanshi top-scored with 26 off 16 balls.

Mumbai raced to the win off 12.5 overs for the loss of just two wickets. Varun Chakravarthy (3-0-12-0, 4.00) did his best to contain the Mumbai batters, while Andre Russell (2/35) picked up both Mumbai wickets.

The Knight Riders will be desperate for their batters to pick themselves up from their disastrous collapse against Mumbai.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

After winning their opening match, Sunrisers went on to lose their next two matches on the bounce.

Sunrisers recovered from 37/4, only to be bowled out for a disappointing 163 off 18.4 overs by Delhi Capitals. Aniket Verma top-scored with 74, including six sixes.

The Capitals timed their chase perfectly, knocking off 166/3 in 16 overs. Zeeshan Ansari (3/42) returned the best figures for the Sunrisers.

Sunrisers are playing well as a unit, but they need to up their performance levels if they hope to start picking up more wins.

Verdict

Kolkata Knight Riders v Sunrisers Hyderabad - T20

I am backing Sunrisers Hyderabad to win. I am also backing Aniket Verma to top score for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Quinton de Kock is a good bet to top score for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
