Date | April 14th, 2023 |
Time | 7.30 PM IST, 2:00 PM GMT, 7:30 PM Local Time |
Venue | Eden Gardens, Kolkata |
Kolkata Knight Riders have got off to a good start in IPL 2023, winning two of the three matches. They defeated Gujarat Titans in the last game after Rinku Singh smashed Yash Dayal for five back-to-back sixes in the final over to pull off a remarkable win.
Meanwhile, SRH also opened their account in the IPL points table after beating Punjab Kings by 8 wickets in the last game. SRH are one of the contenders for the IPL title and they would want to string a few wins together early into the tournament.
Eden Garden will offer a good batting surface. However, the pitch also offers help to the spinners so the batters need to be careful against the slower bowlers.
It will be a hot evening in Kolkata with temperatures rising to 30 degrees during game time.

Jason Roy is likely to play in the next game and he is someone who needs no introduction. Fresh from a good outing in PSL, Jason Roy will be eyeing a good start to IPL 2023. If he gets going, it is very hard to stop him.
While Nitish Rana has been below par, being a top-order batter, it is wise to have him in the time as he will get more balls to face. He is a good batter and will be eyeing to find form against SRH.
Aiden Markram has not played well in the two games he has played but he is a top batter and comes into the tournament with some great performances for South Africa. It won’t be long before Aiden Markram gets going.
Mayank Markande had a great game against PBKS as he took 4 wickets. With Kolkata pitch supporting the spinners, he can be the game changer for SRH in the coming game.
The veteran spinner will be looking for a good show against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The likes of Markram and Klaassen like to play their shots in middle overs but Narine is not easy to hit. It will be a good battle to watch.
