SRH vs KKR Dream11 prediction, IPL 2023: Fantasy picks, captain and vice-captain choices

SRH vs KKR Dream11 prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders will be aiming to keep themselves in the battle for playoff places as the two bottom-half teams face off in match 47 of IPL 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

Facing off for the second time this season, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be taking cognisance from the fact that they defeated KKR comfortably early in the season at Eden Gardens with Harry Brooks firing the first century of the season.

Injury updates SRH are yet to name a replacement for Washinton Sundar, who is out for the season. KKR, on the other hand, could be without Jason Roy and Umesh Yadav, who missed the last game while Litton Das was also back home for personal reasons.

SRH vs KKR: Key players

SRH (Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Markande) Abhishek Sharma showed some flawless batting on a tricky surface of Arun Jaitley Stadium in the last game when rest of the SRH batting has struggled of late. Harry Brooks and Aiden Markram have went silent since their big knocks in the game against KKR last month.

Among bowlers, Mayank Markande has done well this IPL with 10 wickets and was impactful against KKR in the last game too. Marco Jansesn was effective against the purple-clad side too with two wickets and may consider his return in the line-up too as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan have been average by their stature this IPL.

KKR: (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy) Rahmanullah Gurbaz celebrated his return to the line up with a big knock of 81 in the last game. However, the Afghan has struggled to maintain consistency. Rinku Singh, however, has been most reliable face in the batting line-up when the likes of Nitish Rana and Venkatesh Iyer have blown hot and cold.

Andre Russell is faring well with the bat nowadays and is doing the new-ball bowling too as the KKR pacers have been a flop this season. The likes of Umesh Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Shardul Thakur, and Tim Southee have leaked too many runs with little in return.

KKR spin remains their main strength as Varun Chakravarthy leads the pack with 13 wickets to his name. Sunil Narine is not having the best of IPL as he just came out a wicket-less patch while understudy Suyash Sharma has nine wickets to his name in seven games.

Pitch Report A slow track that helps slow bowlers while pacers with variations are difficult to hit around too. Batters often get runs after spending some time in the middle.
