Currently KKR sits at the top of the IPL table with three wins from four games. It has found various players to take the lead in every win as Pat Cummins, Andre Russell and Umesh Yadav have all claimed Man of the Match honors. The player XI for KKR appears to be pretty much set and unlikely to change from the previous game. We saw an absolute freak of an inning from Pat Cummins, in which he hit one of the all-time fast fifties in his first appearance of the season. With Billings, Russell, Cummins and Narine in the mid/low ranking, KKR has plenty of power and depth to play with. The performance of these players is probably why players like Nitish Rana and Ajinkya Rahane got away with a slow start to the 2022 IPL. We don’t want to select any of these batters for the Top Batsman market, but we want to bet that KKR will hit more sixes than DC in this match. KKR’s Bowling Attack is also looking very useful at the moment. Umesh Yadav currently has the most wickets in IPL 2022 and is consistently accumulating wickets during the power play. He will have Pat Cummins, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy in support in this match. This is a blockbuster bowling lineup regardless of who the extra bowler selected is. With a bit of spin expected to play a role, we wouldn’t mind placing a small bet on Sunil Narine being the best wicket taker for KKR in this match.
The Sunrisers are at the bottom of the table with two games in the tournament. They suffered a massive loss to the Royals in round 61 which affected their net speed. They failed to chase the 169 goal against the Lucknow Super Giants in Game 2. Since Kane Williamson is not contributing enough to the top of the rankings, this is a major concern for them. They need a steady head to hit throughout the pitch. More ipl cricket match predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
