KKR vs SRH Match Prediction

KKR were the most consistent side in the league stage of the tournament but they are very likely to face a tough test against SRH on Tuesday. It's a venue where their captain Pat Cummins lifted the ODI World Cup with the Australia side in November last year.

There is also a break in momentum for KKR as their last two games got abandoned due to rain. SRH, on the other hand, easily chased down 215 against PBKS on Sunday. They hammered LSG by 10 wickets in their second-last game.

SRH have the batting and pace unit to utilise the conditions at Narendra Modi Stadium to their benefit. KKR have won four games on the trot, but relied a lot on the success of their openers.

However, Phil Salt is back in England, while Sunil Narine has been dismissed inside 20 runs in three out of his last four outings. Also, the task to clear the big boundaries in Ahmedabad would be difficult for him. The bowling unit will also rely a lot of Varun Chakravarthy.
