SRH is in search of their third consecutive win against KKR

SRH will take on KKR on April 15 at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

After winning their last match, SRH is looking confident but Washington Sunder, the main bowler, is not available because he is injured, Whom to select in place of Sunder is a big task for the team.

On the other hand, in the last match, KKR lost to Delhi Capitals badly and bowling is a concern. But their opponent’s spin department is not strong so KKR can use this as an advantage to get back on track

 PITCH REPORT:

The lowest first-innings total here is 177. It is been a batting-friendly pitch so far. So the captain will be comfortable chasing on this pitch.

TACTICS:

SRH- Washington sunder is not available because of injury in his place team can consider Shreyas Gopal and Jagadeesha Suchith but can recreate the same impact as Sunder. Aiden Markram can split up the spinner duties. 

KKR-Pat Cummins is giving away too many runs despite showing his power-hitting skills towards the end. The bowling until is doing their job but they do need help from the batting department. Nitish Rana and Ajinkya Rahane are not contributing much in the batting.

HEAD TO HEAD :

SRH 7- 14 KKR
