Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders will square off at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday, April 15. After losing their first two games, Sunrisers Hyderbad seems to have found the trick of moving forward in the league.
They are coming after winning their last two games against defending champion Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. The two wins will give a lot of confidence to the Orange Army to stay on the winning path and climb up the points table from the eighth position.

However, the journey isn’t going to be easy for SRH as they will be missing the services of ace spin all-rounder Washinton Sundar for the upcoming few games due to an injury. Sundar was a vital cog in SRH’s win in the last two games and the team will have trouble coping with his absence.
Speaking of Kolkata Knight Riders, they are doing extremely well in the league. The team is second in the standings with three wins and two losses. The only area of concern for KKR is their bowling unit. Umesh Yadav has been the find of this season and he is being supported by Sunil Narine.
However, Pat Cummins is struggling with his form with the ball. Australia’s Test captain has been conceding a lot of runs lately. Also, the spinner Varun Chakravarthy is failing to spill the same magic on the field as the last season.
