Abu Dhabi, October 2; The Kolkata Knight Riders will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the evening match of the IPL 2021 calendar on Sunday (October 3 and the Eoin Morgan's side has everything to gain for.

The Knight Riders have 10 points and can progress to the play-offs but they are in a tangle with Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings for that 4th spot on the IPL 2021 points table.

And Sunrisers could be a perfect opponent for them to garner that vital 2 points. The Kane Williamson-led side is out of play-off reckoning and thus could be low on motivation and urge to dish out a commanding effort.

All the Hyderabad outfit can hope for is to play the role of party spoilers but do they have the mental presence to do that is the question.

Kolkata skipper Morgan knows the enormity of the situation. ''Initially we didn't field as well, put catches down (against the Kings. I have also dropped early. We probably had a par score on the wicket. Kings played well, we fought back, but catches have cost us.

''I thought in real-time that the Tripathi catch was out. But when you slow it down, the third umpire decided otherwise. We got on with it once he made his call. Hopefully, we play hard in the back end, get a few results and qualify into the playoffs,'' he said.
