Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to field first against Kolkata Knight Riders in the tenth match of the Indian Premier League at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Preview:
Knight Riders will be looking to bounce back at their home ground after suffering a heart-breaking defeat against Chennai Super Kings. The Knight Riders looked primed to win the game after posting 202 but some erratic bowling cost them the game. However, their batsmen’s form will give them the confidence and they will hope that the bowlers join the party too against the Sunrisers.
The Hyderabad-based outfit has started its season with two wins. Their bowlers have looked in red-hot form which has somewhat made up for the team’s shaky batting in the second game where they made heavy weather of a relatively easy chase.
The game can be well decided by how the Knight Riders batsmen perform against the visiting bowlers. All in all, the upcoming game promises to be a thrilling contest.
