Hyderabad, May 3: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will look to do the double and make it two wins on the trot when they host Kolkata Knight Riders in match 47 of IPL 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday (May 4).
Aiden Markram’s SRH will look to carry on the winning momentum following their third victory of the season over Delhi Capitals, while Nitish Rana-led KKR will look to bounce back following recent result versus Gujarat Titans.

Both teams are in the bottom of the IPL 2023 points table and will be desperate for a win to keep their slim hopes alive in the playoff race. SRH will be a confident side heading into the match thanks to the reverse fixture win.
But, the visitors have a decent record when this fixture is played at home or away from home as they have had decent success on their visits to Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
In the 24 meetings between the two sides in IPL since 2008, it’s KKR, who has the advantage against SRH, having won 15 times. In the last 5 meetings, it’s 3-2 in favour of KKR, but SRH won the most recent meeting between the two sides.
In the reverse fixture, SRH rode on Harry Brook maiden hundred and skipper Markram fifty to post a huge target of 229. In response, skipper Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh struck half centuries that went in vain as KKR fell short of the target by 23 runs at the Eden Gardens.
In the 6 previous meetings at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad, it’s all square as both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 3 times each. The last meeting in Hyderabad between the two sides came back in 2019.
