Kolkata Knight Riders v Sunrisers Hyderabad- Match Preview

Kolkata and Hyderabad have taken it in turns to beat each other in recent years. Neither franchise have collected consecutive wins over the other in the last couple of editions of the IPL.

Jonny Bairstow and David Warner scored plenty of runs in the most recent meeting between these two teams in 2019, when the Sunriers won comfortably.

Where: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

When: Saturday, 26 September 2020

Start time: 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: This will be the third match of the IPL 2020 in Abu Dhabi. It has seen one win by the team batting first and another by the side that bowled first. The trend here is to bat second if victorious at the toss.

Weather conditions: The weather has been hot, humid and without rain throughout the IPL in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah so far. The same is likely on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. The dew factor will come into play as the later afternoon turns into early evening.

Kolkata will likely retain Pat Cummins, despite his poor performance against the Mumbai Indians recently.

KKR will want more from opening batsman Shubman Gill and Sunil Narine, who both failed against Mumbai as well.

The Sunrisers have lost all-rounder Mitchell Marsh for the rest of the tournament due to injury. Replacement Jason Holder probably won’t slot straight into the XI.

Kane Williamson will likely play after missing the first match.

Rashid Khan is available as well, having overcome a suspected concussion.

Captain David Warner is happy with the current composition of the middle order, which includes Priyam Garg, Vijay Shankar and Abhishek Sharma.

Kolkata Knight Riders v Sunrisers Hyderabad – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are three more cricket betting tips for today’s match to help you along the way. These IPL tips are based on the best odds and our years of experience in backing player form and trends.

Rely on Russell to Be the Top Batsman for KKR

Andre Russell is arguably still batting to low in the KKR order. But whenever he arrives at the crease, he’s looking in good shape at Funbet’s price of 5.0 to be the top batsman for Kolkata.

We’ve seen him go big time and time again. Russell, being an all-rounder, is also a good pick in Funbet’s player of the match and top bowler markets.

Select Shankar to Be the Top Bowler for Hyderabad

Vijay Shankar is one of the local lads impressing at SRH. He probably should have bowled more against the Super Kings after taking the key wicket of half-centurion Devdutt Padikkal.

LeoVegas have priced Shankar at 6.5 to be the top bowler for the Sunrisers here. Like Russell, he’s an all-rounder, so features at competitive cricket odds in their player of the match and top batsman markets, too.

Back More Than Runs in Their First Three Overs For Each Team

22Bet continue to be quite inventive with their markets for the IPL. This time, they have each team to score over five runs in each of their first three overs at 8.5.

That’s a bet well worth taking and could bring great value. The Sunrisers and Knight Riders have top-order batsmen who can get stuck straight in during the opening six-over powerplay.
