SRH vs KKR
I am eagerly waiting to watch Kolkata vs Hyderabad match. These two groups are very strong. Kolkata team is at the top of the table with maximum points. Kolkata's performance has been the most consistent this season. Both batsmen and bowlers are able to perform well.
On the other hand, Hyderabad have the strongest batting order. Almost every batsman in the squad is in good form and able to play well. Hyderabad have faced Kolkata only once this season. Hyderabad lost the match by 4 runs. Kolkata set a target of 209 runs and Hyderabad's total was 204 runs. Tomorrow's match is expected to be very competitive.
It is a very important match for both team. Kolkata have a very strong squad. And this team has the ability to win by batting at big targets. Kolkata squad has aggressive batsmen like Narine and Russel. Also, Phil Salt, Rinku, Iyer and Nitish Rana are all capable of batting well. Besides, there are experienced bowlers like Mitchell Starc, Russel, Narine and Varun in the Kolkata squad. The bowlers are also able to bowl very well. This is the reason why the Kolkata team has been defeated in only 3 matches. We have seen better performances from Kolkata in most of the matches.
Hyderabad team on the other hand is strong. There is no doubt that their batting order is very strong. However, the performance of Hyderabad's bowlers is not as good as expected. And the team lost in 5 matches due to the performance of the bowlers not being good. Despite giving away big targets, most of the matches were very competitive. Hyderabad team managed to win by only 25 runs despite giving a target of 288 runs against Bengaluru. And against Mumbai, Hyderabad won by 21 runs despite setting a target of 278 runs. If Hyderabad's bowlers do not perform well against Kolkata, chances of Hyderabad winning are very low.
