Sunrisers Hyderabad will be facing Kolkata Knight Riders (SRH vs KKR) in Match no. 25 of IPL 2022 on Friday, 15th April at Brabourne Stadium at 7:30 pm. SRH claimed back-to-back victories and is eyeing their hat-trick win against KKR. Let’s have a look at the Match preview, prediction and Fantasy XI.
SRH vs KKR: Match preview
Kolkata Knight Riders
Ajinkya Rahane from KKR failed to perform after the first match where he scored 44 runs and is under good pressure. KKR should include Sheldon Jackson or Rinku Singh in the middle order. KKR will be troubling Hyderabad after winning the past two matches.
SunRisers Hyderabad
SunRisers Hyderabad has exceeded the expectations in the past two matches where both Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson did their best and their batting lineup is a bit different with Rahul Tripathi, Nicholas Pooran, and Aiden Markham. Kane Williamson opened for the previous match but Rahul Tripathy is expected to open the next one. SRH off-spinner Washington Sundar most probably will miss the upcoming matches for the team in the ongoing IPL season due to split webbing in his bowling hand. He was the only specialist spinner for SRH in the 15th edition of the tournament.
SRH vs KKR: Match prediction
SunRisers Hyderabad made a very good comeback in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), They beat CSK and GT in their last two matches. SRH’s all-round star Washington Sundar won’t be a part of the next match due to his injury. Meanwhile, Jagadeesha Suchith will substitute him. On the other hand, KKR is in second place in the points table. KKR suffered a loss against Delhi Capitals in the previous match. KKR could only make 171 runs in 19.4 overs chasing a target of 216. Despite KKR’s loss, the team has a better chance to win against SRH.
