KKR Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Kolkata Knight Riders are likely to go into this game with an unchanged line-up. None of their players were reported to be injured at the time of writing.
Key Players
Chris Lynn has to be the key man for KKR when it comes to batting because if he takes the team off to a flyer, it would set the tone for the rest of the innings. The Australian opener has scored just 27 runs in two games and a big knock from him seems round the corner. Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have shown their skills with both bat and ball and they are two other vital cogs in Kolkata's line-up. The former has been the pick of the bowlers and he is more likely to trouble the Sunrisers with his offbreaks.
Recent Form
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently placed fourth on the points table having won one and lost one out of the two league matches they have played so far. While they beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by four wickets at home in their first game, they got pipped by Chennai Super Kings in the second.

Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (c/wk), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Tom Curran, Vinay Kumar, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav
SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Bhuvneshwar Kumar had to sit out the last game against the Mumbai Indians with a back niggle. The swing bowler is expected to recover in time for this upcoming match and is likely to replace Sandeep Sharma who was brought in as Kumar's replacement for the MI clash.
Key Players
Shikhar Dhawan looks to be in ominous form. The opening batsman has scores of 78* and 45 in his first two games which makes him the key man for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kane Williamson and Manish Pandey are both fine players and there will be plenty of hopes pinned on them as well. Shakib Al Hasan is another vital cog in this line-up due to his all-round abilities. With the ball, it will be mainly up to Shakib, Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to take wickets and stifle the Kolkata batsmen. Rashid has bowled really well so far and it will not be easy to score off him.
Recent Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently leading the IPL 2018 points table with two wins in two league games. After securing a comfortable nine-wicket win over the Rajasthan Royals in their first match, the Sunrisers managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in their second game against the Mumbai Indians.

Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson (c), Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Deepak Hooda, Yusuf Pathan, Rashid Khan, Siddarth Kaul, Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Sandeep Sharma, Billy Stanlake

KKR vs SRH Betting Odds
Kolkata Knight Riders are favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this game at odds of 1.92 on Betfair while Sunrisers Hyderabad are the underdogs with the same bookmaker at odds of 2. The odds for both the teams to win this match are tied at 1.90 each on Betway and Bet365.
KKR vs SRH Prediction
Kolkata Knight Riders have the advantage of playing on their home ground and they will be more familiar with the conditions. Moreover, they have won five of their last eight matches here which is something that will give them plenty of confidence going into this game. However, they will be a little disappointed after their loss to Chennai Super Kings in the last game. Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand will be carrying momentum with them after winning their first two matches. They strike more balance between their batting and bowling than KKR which is one of the reasons why we predict them to emerge victorious in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Kolkata Knight Riders at 1.90 each on Betway and Bet365 and 2 on 1xbet.
