IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders, match 25
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have made a tremendous comeback in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League after losing their first two matches (IPL). In their previous two encounters, the Orange Army defeated the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the newcomers Gujarat Titans (GT). Meanwhile, SRH will be without star all-rounder Washington Sundar, who was injured in the previous encounter. Jagadeesha Suchith, a left-arm spinner, is expected to take his spot.
On the points table, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are now in second position. The two-time champions enter the match having lost their previous match against the Delhi Capitals. KKR could only manage 171 in 19.4 overs while chasing a target of 216. Despite their loss to DC, the Purple Men are anticipated to keep the same starting lineup.
