SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
England’s all-format right-handed batter Harry Brook dropped down the order for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game but registered a two-ball duck. We do not expect him back at the top of the order in this game but anticipate that he will keep his place.
SRH Key Players
- Abhishek Sharma - The 22 year old all-rounder has been inconsistent across the tournament but on his day is unstoppable against any attack.
- Heinrich Klaasen - The powerful South African keeper-batter has found himself helping to rebuild the innings on a few occasions in the IPL 2023. He scores at a very quick rate.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar - The right-arm pace bowler has been particularly consistent and accurate across this year’s campaign. He dismissed David Warner with the second ball of the innings in the last game.
- Mayank Markande - Markande is the leading wicket taker for SRH, with 10 wickets in 6 matches. He has an impressive strike rate of 14.4 and he will be a crucial spinner on this pitch.
SRH Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Vivrant Sharma, Marco Jansen, Glenn Phillips, Mayank Dagar, T Natarajan
T Natarajan is an experienced IPL performer and he is a strong candidate to come into the team. Vivrant Sharma is a left-handed batting all-rounder and could be a useful impact player if an additional left-hander is preferred.
SRH Team Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad were in danger of crashing out of the tournament before their narrow nine run victory over Delhi Capitals in Match 40.

KKR Team News & Playing 11
KKR Team News
A back niggle caused Jason Roy to miss the last game with Rahmanullah Gurbaz coming back into the team. With Gurbaz striking the ball well, there will be no rush to bring Roy back. Umesh Yadav, who has been very poor, also missed out through injury.
KKR Key Players
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz - The young Afghan opener has long been touted as one of the future stars of the game. His last innings showed us all that talent.
- Venkatesh Iyer - The 28 year old left-handed batter is a real talent and has already hit a century (104) in the 2023 IPL. He is a very attacking player.
- Varun Chakravarthy - The spinner went wicketless for only the second time in this campaign in the last game and he will be keen to contribute again in this clash.
- Nitish Rana - The skipper is striking the ball well this season and we are backing him as a key batter in this match. Rana has smashed 233 runs in 9 matches at a strike rate of 152.28.
KKR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Suyash Sharma, Mandeep Singh, Anukul Roy, Tim Southee, Kulwant Khejroliya
Mandeep Singh is an experienced right-handed batter who can come in at any stage of the batting innings. Kulwant Khejroliya took 2-44 in his last appearance and his left-arm angle can be tough for some batters.
KKR Team Form
Kolkata Knight Riders ended their losing run two matches ago but returned to their poor form with a heavy defeat against Gujarat Titans.
KKR Predicted Playing 11
Narayan Jagadeesan (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Shardul Thakur, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, David Wiese, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy
SRH vs KKR Head to Head

🏆 SRH vs KKR Prediction
Although this match is between two teams fighting it out near the bottom of the table, they both can still progress in the tournament if they have a strong second half of the group stage. We expect to see both teams on the front foot and playing in an attacking manner but we think that Sunrisers have more depth in their bowling attack. Our prediction is for Sunrisers Hyderabad to win.
