Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Prediction

SRH has a decent bowling lineup and its mid-range is in excellent shape. Hitting KKR looks pretty edgy and we think it doesn't pair well with the SRH bowling unit either. The slower wicket in Pune could play into the hands of the SRH batting lineup.

KKR won their previous game against MI by a huge 52-run margin. It wasn't a very convincing batting performance from the team as they made changes again, bringing Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane and Pat Cummins back into the line-up.

KKR's batting line-up looks pretty weak and we think it could fight against SRH's batting line-up. The surface in Pune has been helpful for the spinners in recent matches and that could benefit batsmen like Nitish Rana or Shreyas Iyer, both of whom are excellent against spin.

Choosing one of these two for the Top Batsmen KKR betting market is something you can consider.

The middle order of Russell, Cummins and Narine (who are theoretically in charge of powering) will also likely struggle against spin. You could also bet against them here to get some runs.

There is no doubt that KKR is now picking its best bowling lineup. Cummins, Narine, Southee and Russell make up four prime bowling options with Varun Chakravarthy as the fifth bowler.

The MI win was KKR's second win in the last three games, but we still don't think the lower odds are justified here.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH started the 2022 IPL poorly, had a brilliant five-game winning streak and is now back on a four-game losing streak coming into this match. Fans would hope that this is when the cycle repeats itself and SRH gets back to winning ways.

On paper, we find SRH to be a pretty good match against KKR. Their bowling lineup is likely to be bolstered by the return of Marco Jansen in this game, but it's not yet certain whether Washington Sundar will be available for selection or not.

SRH knows that if it has to win this match, its bowlers have to do the job. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik and Kartik Tyagi played the previous game with support from Jagadeesh Suchith and Fazalhaq Farooqi.

There's no doubt that this is a bowling attack that can wicket select, but it's also one that can go the distance. Umran Malik in particular has been very expensive in recent games. SRH needs to get back to his best bowling performance or his striking mechanism will come under a lot of pressure.

SRH's biggest problem this season has been a lack of runs from Kane Williamson. As their captain and opening batsman, Williamson was unable to hit enough runs or maintain a good batting average.

Abhishek Sharma also seems to have cooled off after a good start. That means Rahul Tripathi, Nicholas Pooran, and Aiden Markram all need to make runs in every match. Since they are all free-hitting, risk-taking batters, they will fail from time to time.

Here SRH is vulnerable. It needs to bowl hard but doesn't have the depth in case it loses some early wickets. More today ipl match betting can be obtained from the link provided.
