Dubai: Kolkata Knight Ruder will eye to return winning ways when they face bottom-placed side Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.Eoin Morgan’s side lost a tite battle against Punjab Kings suffering a 5 wicket defeat. A victory against the SRH will see them close the gap further to find a place in the play-offs. Youngster Venkatesh Iyer has not only added firepower at the top of the batting line up while his bowling has been handy so far as he took.
Sunil Narine regained his form since the resumption of the tournament in UAE which is good sign for the side. The two time champions will probably miss the services Andre Russell. The inclusion of Tim Southee in place of the Jamaican still need to be justified as the Kiwi seamer got some hammering from the Punjab batters in the last game however, his experience and intelligence could prove vital in crunch games like these.
Hyderabad, on the other have simply been unable to perform this season. They were one of the most consistent teams in the tournament in the past few seasons but the are out of the playoffs spot this time. However, Kane Williamson’s side could ruin the party for other teams and this could be a motivating factor for them as well.
