Preview
The Kolkata Knight Riders will play against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Following their imperious league stage campaign in the IPL, the Kolkata Knight Riders are looking like a well-oiled machine, which will be very tough for the rest of the teams in the competition to stop. On the other side, the SunRisers Hyderabad are a power-packed outfit, who have taken down a few teams in the IPL 2024 with ease, aiming to reach the next stage of the tournament at the expense of the best team in the league stage.
Toss Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad could win the battle of the toss courtesy of the better record for Pat Cummins (2-3) in calling it right in comparison to Shreyas Iyer (1-4) in the last five matches.
Win Possibility
Kolkata Knight Riders played their last match in the IPL 2024 nearly two weeks ago with their previous two encounters getting rained out without a ball being bowled. Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad will arrive at Qualifier 1 on the back of a home win just a couple of days ago, but they will have their task cut out against a formidable opponent in the playoffs stage of the IPL.
KKR will be relying on their experienced players, including the captain Shreyas Iyer, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, and Mitchell Starc to give big performances in crunch situations during the IPL playoffs. For SRH, the wealth of knowledge of playing the big games for their captain Pat Cummins, Travis Head, and Bhuvenshwar Kumar will be vital to help the other players put their best foot forward in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 1 and beyond.
Predicted powerplay score and first innings score
The pitches at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad have allowed the batters to score big runs more often than not, but the bowlers do get something if they can be consistent in their plans and execution. Although the trend of high scores in the tournament will make Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad aim for a total of over 200, to compete well in a high-stakes match like Qualifier 1. The average first innings score is 168 at this venue in IPL, while the first innings score in the upcoming match could range between 185-195. The powerplay score could go up to 55-60.
