IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, match 61
The Kolkata Knight Riders will play the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MCA Stadium in Pune in their next match. KKR slipped in the middle of the tournament after a strong start, and their campaign appeared to be in serious peril. However, they finally got their combination right in the last game, and until Umesh Yadav returns, they are likely to keep this playing XI for the final two games. Pat Cummins, their fast bowler, has been ruled out and has returned home.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have lost their last four games and are desperate for a win in this match. T Natarajan and Washington Sundar's injuries haven't helped their cause, and they'll be hoping to get back on track quickly as the playoffs approach. SRH is in sixth place in the points table with five wins in 11 games, and they will need to increase their net run rate as well.

Pitch report
The penultimate game at the MCA Stadium in Pune was a low-scoring match between the Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow Super Giants, and the bowlers had plenty of help from the wicket. Any total above 150 will be difficult to chase down, but the skipper who wins the toss is likely to continue trying.
