SRH wins the toss, opts to bat vs KKR!

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bat against Kolkata Knight Riders in Dubai.

A must game for KKR!

Both the teams lost their last match, Kolkata Knight Riders losing in a close encounter against Punjab Kings, while Sunrisers Hyderabad saw a 6-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings where MS Dhoni’s last ball six made headlines. They both suffered batting failures as their middle order hasn’t done much since the season resumed in the UAE. KKR captain Eoin Morgan has had a poor run with the ball so far this season, while SRH dropped their former captain David Warner and included England opener Jason Roy, who played well against Rajasthan Royals. Exhibited. This is an essential game for KKR considering the playoff scenario. Sunrisers have nothing to lose as they are already out of the tournament but they will keep an eye on individual performances ahead of the mega auction next year.

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad which will start soon at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. It’s a do-or-die game for KKR as they can score a maximum of 12 points if they lose which will greatly affect their playoff qualification chances. Even if KKR wins both their remaining matches, a lot will depend on the net run rate. Sunrisers Hyderabad are at the bottom of the points table and out of the tournament as they have just 4 points from 11 matches this season.

The match will start at 7:30 PM IST while the toss will be held at 7:00 PM IST.
