IPL 2022: Picks for the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders

Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 25th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on Friday.

SRH have won two matches and lost as many whereas KKR has won three out of their five games.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

SRH must have grown in confidence after winning their last two matches. The Orange Army had looked toothless in the first two games but they have come up with more improved performance in the next two matches. The Kane Williamson-led will look to continue the good show and carry the winning impetus against an in-form KKR.

On the other hand, KKR would be a bit disappointed with their bowling effort as they conceded 215 runs against Delhi Capitals in their last game. KKR will want their top order to contribute more as Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer haven’t been at their best. KKR have a deep batting order and they can also make a couple of changes in the batting line-up.

Head to Head: Matches: 21, Won by KKR: 14, Won by SRH: 7.

KKR clearly holds the edge over SRH in the head-to-head battle.

Players to look out for: Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav, Sunil Narine, and Andre Russell will be the crucial players for KKR.

Kane Williamson, Rahul Tripathi (if he plays), Aiden Markram, T Natarajan, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will hold the key for SRH.

Kolkata Knight Riders Probable Playing XI: Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Sam Billings (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shivam Mavi, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Probable XI: Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Nicholas Pooran (wk), Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad, Washington Sundar, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik.
