KKR vs SRH Match Preview

In KKR’s triumph over Mumbai Indians, Venkatesh Iyer top-scored with 43 runs off 24 balls. We believe he will be KKR’s leading run scorer in this match. Tim Southee bowled well in the last game, with stats of 1-10 from 3 overs, and we expect him to be KKR’s main wicket taker against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Kane Williamson has scored consecutive single-digit scores, but he remains a world-class batsman and our pick for the highest run scorer for Sunrisers Hyderabad vs KKR. T.Natarajan has 17 wickets in this competition and is a serious contender for Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top wicket taker.
Andre Russell, who has 28 sixes in the 2022 Indian Premier League, is our pick for Player of the Match 61.

On Saturday evening in Pune, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play in Match 61 of the 2022 Indian Premier League. With 10 points from 12 games, KKR is in seventh place in the rankings. With one fewer match, Sunrisers Hyderabad have the same number of points. At 19:30 local time, the match begins at the MCA International Stadium.

In recent games, KKR has been excellent, winning two of their past three games. They put in a strong collective effort against Mumbai Indians last time out, and they’ll need more of the same in this match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has a history of long losing and winning streaks in the last two seasons. They’ve dropped four straight games and will have to toil hard to win this match.
