SRH after losing their first 2 encounters of IPL 2022 have made a comeback like tracer bullet by winning their next 2 games against CSK and GT while KKR are having a mixed IPL season this year and they are coming after a setback by losing the game to DC by 44 runs. Both teams have won all their games after bowling first only but from now the trend is expected to change as teams batting first might start to win games regularly.
SRH opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson have played a beautiful role for their team's success while absence of Washington Sundar will be a setback for the Hyderabad side. KKR will rely on their skipper Shreyas Iyer to perform while hitters like Andre Russell might have a key role to play against pacers like Bhuvneshwar Kumara and T. Natarajan. Varun Chakravarthy who had a off day against DC might recharge himself to produce a strong performance today.
