When Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) play SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 14, it will be a hot and humid day for the players. In their first IPL 2023 match, which they lost to the Punjab Kings (PBKS), KKR bounced back to win two straight. SRH, then again, got their most memorable success of the time by beating Punjab at home in the wake of losing two on the run.
Following Rinku Singh’s outstanding performance against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their most recent match, the Knight Riders will be overflowing with self-assurance. The left-handed batter hit five sixes in a row to put his team over the line with 29 runs needed in the final over.However, the think tank will be concerned about KKR’s lack of teamwork.
Andre Russell, the world’s best all-rounder, has yet to hit a ball or bat, and the top order has been a problem since the tournament started. This match will be played with the availability of England’s Jason Roy and Bangladesh’s wicketkeeper-batsman Litton Das. To maintain their winning streak, it remains to be seen what overseas betting strategies KKR will employ.
PBKS, on the other hand, was easily defeated by SRH. Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram, the captain, performed admirably with the bat, while Mayank Markande and Marco Jansen excelled in the bowling department. The SunRisers think tank, on the other hand, will be concerned about Harry Brook’s poor start. Both pacers T Natarajan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been a little pricey, which will give the management a lot of trouble before their next game against a good Kolkata team.

Pitch Report
The track at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is incredible. The batters are able to hit through the line from the beginning of their innings because the ball slides nicely onto the bat. Because the surface stays the same throughout the game, we can probably expect the teams to choose to chase here.
