IPL 2018 Live KKR vs SRH

Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens in their Indian Premier League game. KKR have won one lost their second game while Sunrisers are off to a perfect start by winning two out of two matches

kkr vs srh ipl Shikhar Dhawan has been in superb form for Hyderabad In match 10 of the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad are facing each other at the Eden Gardens. Both the teams have had two outings in the tournament and will have a fair idea of their strengths and weakness. While SRH have never managed to win a game at the Edens, what makes them favourites in this match is their superior bowling contingent which has propelled them to the top of the table in IPL 11. For KKR, who have the smallest squad of all teams, problems are mounting with injuries to key players. Kamlesh Nagarkoti is the latest to feature in this list. Overall the two teams have faced each other 12 times with KKR recording 8 wins while SRH have managed just 4. However, tonight's encounter will give the Hyderabad franchise a chance to improve their record. After being a part of KKR for several years the trio of Shakib Al Hasan Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan will be turning out for the Orange army, hence their performances will also be something to watch out for.
