Team News: KKR Vs SRH

Kolkata Knight Riders :

It's a must-win for Kolkata Knight Riders as they have secured only 10 points in 12 games and are on verge of elimination from the IPL 2022 season. In their previous game, KKR successfully defeated Mumbai Indians by huge 65 runs to boost up their chances to seal a place in the playoffs. Pat Cummins made a comeback against MI as he single-handedly destroyed MI's chase in the last game. However, Cummins will not be available for selection as he is ruled out with a hip injury. Will the Knights be able to keep the winning momentum against Sunrisers Hyderabad? Or will suffer relegation from here onwards?

Sunrisers Hyderabad :

Meanwhile, on the other hand, it's also a do-or-die game for the Sunrisers Hyderabad to keep their playoff hopes alive and make it more powerful. Natarajan is injured while Umran Malik loses his fine form in the last few games while the batsman also failed to make a mark. After successfully winning five consecutive games the Hyderabad franchise has suffered back-to-back defeats in their last three games. Will they be able to make a comeback here against Kolkata or will suffer a defeat again?
