KKR Team News & Playing 11
Kolkata Knight Riders
Skipper Gautam Gambhir has so far amassed 393 runs this season and is only second to RCB's Virat Kohli for the most runs in the tournament. He recently hit a fifty and should be the safest option for a top-batsman bet. His opening partner Robin Uthappa is also in good form with high betting odds. Yusuf Pathan comes next with odds slightly higher than Andre Russell.
Russell has been the man with the ball for KKR. The fast bowler with 13 wickets is leading the charts for the most successful bowler in this IPL and is a favorite among online punters. Umesh Yadav has been impressive as well and should be a decent bet. Only one of Shakib Al Hasan or Sunil Narine are likely to get a game with the former having higher betting odds.
GL Team News & Playing 11
Gujarat Lions
They boast a terrific batting line-up with Smith, McCullum, Finch and Raina at the top order. Skipper Raina has scored the maximum number of runs for his side and has high betting odds for the upcoming match. McCullum has not fired in a while and a blazing innings can be expected of him on Sunday. Finch has just returned from injury and so it should be better to put money on Dwayne Smith instead.
Gujarat Lions have a pretty decent bowling attack in Bravo, Faulkner, Jadeja and Praveen Kumar. Of them, Dwayne Bravo who has taken the most wickets for his side has the highest betting odds. Jadeja is performing well consistently and the spinner should be backed up against the KKR. Shivil Kaushik with four wickets in two games is also a good betting option.
Final Prediction
Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Lions will be taking each other on for the very first time in this year's IPL. Both teams are heavily recruited and all their key players have been performing up to the mark. However, where GL have lost two back-to-back games, KKR have won three in a row and they will benefit from having the winning momentum on their side on Sunday. Though either side can emerge superior on a given day, it is Kolkata Knight Riders who seem to have a little upper hand against an evenly matched Gujarat Lions.
