SRH vs KKR Match Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Kolkata Knight Riders at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on May 4th, 2023.
The struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad will go against the team miracle Kolkata Knight Riders on their own turf to get 2 points.
Sunrisers got their revenge against the Delhi Capitals in the previous match when they went to Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, to play their reverse fixture against the Delhi side, who won the first match on their home ground.
Abhishek Sharma gave them an amazing start, but then the struggling middle and top order failed to score a run. Henrich Klaasen was the man who came to Sunrisers Hyderabad’s rescue and scored 53 runs in just 27 balls. They posted a total of 197 runs in 20 overs, which was enough to make them defend against the Delhi team. Mayank Markande’s amazing bowling performance helped Sunrisers defend the total.
Kolkata Knight Riders are still struggling with their consistency and pace bowler unit. They made a decent total while batting 1st, and the star performer from the batting was Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who scored 81 runs in just 39 balls. Andre Russell, at last, scored some runs in the last match, which is good news for the KKR side, as he was not performing at all in any matches.
The bowling side of Kolkata Knight Riders was horrible except for Sunil Narine other bowlers were very expensive with their economy rate. Kolkata Knight Riders picked only one genuine pace bowler in the side, and others were spinners only. The fans of the Kolkata team are very disappointed with the selection process and also with the player’s performance.
Nitish Rana himself was not impressed with his own performance and the team’s performance which he said in the Post Match presentation.
I think we were 20-25 runs short, up against top teams, we can’t be this sloppy with the bat. We didn’t get partnerships developing, other than Gurbaz and Russell, no one else, including me, scored. If we got a good partnership in the middle overs, we could have done better. In crucial games and against top oppositions, you need to do all the basics well in all the three departments of the game. The batting was ok today, but we didn’t bowl well. Need to do well in the small moments, bowl according to the plan and do the basics well.
Nitish Rana said in the Post Match Presentation.
The next match will be crucial for them and also a good opportunity as the Sunrisers are also struggling in the IPL, but both teams’ chance of qualifying for the playoffs is very slim.

| Batting second won | 38 |
| Average 1st innings batting score | 165 |

The pitch offers everything as Spinners, pacers, and batters enjoyed their game in the first match. It is one of the best neutral pitches on which players’ ability will decide their performance, not the pitch going to favor the type of players.
In recent times, the Pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium favored spinners more than batters and pacers. But as this will be the first match, that pitch will be new, and we can see a few good scoring totals of around 160-170, but later on, we will see the spinners leading the match. The first match played on this pitch was between SunRisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals, which was one-sided.
The last match played on this pitch was between Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals, which was an average-scoring encounter, and Delhi Capitals won the match by 7 wickets. The pitch had some moisture at the start of the game, which helped swing bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar to take the wicket of Philip Salt on a duck.
Team Preview of Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad is in the 2nd last spot in the points table with just 6 points, but the good news is that they won their last match against the Delhi Capitals.
The batting unit is not performing at all, and it is hard to digest why they are giving so many chances to players like Mayank Agarwal and Harry Brook, who are doing nothing for the team. Harry Brook did nothing except for one century against the Kolkata Knight Riders. In the last match, he was given another chance at the middle order, but the failure continued as he got out on a duck (0). The only good for Harry Brook is that he scored the century against the same side he will play next.
On the other hand, Mayank Agarwal lost his form and consistency, and Sunrisers needs to replace both of these players and give a chance to Henrich Klassen in the top order because he showed his hitting skill. He scored in every match whenever he got a chance, and that was with a high strike rate.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Team management needs to rethink their options, and coach Brian Lara needs to understand the IPL format, which he failed to till now. Only Mayank Markande is the bowler who performed consistently in most of the matches, as he took 10 wickets in 6 games.
Umran Malik is another Indian pace bowler who lost the hunger to perform more with the same passion he did when he played in the last season of IPL, but this season due to money, he lost the hunger.
Abhishek Sharma was the only big positive for them right now because he is scoring and also taking wickets, and don’t forget that he was the highest run scorer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad last year.
Aiden Markram needs to step up his game and captaincy, which he did for the South African team but failed to show the same intent and performance in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rahul Tripathi’s performance also decreased in this IPL after performing well in every IPL season. He needs to sort things out and make some bold decisions for the team.
Team Preview of Kolkata Knight Riders
It is very clear now that Kolkata Knight Riders are not playing as a team because most of the players not having a positive intent in the field except the Rinku Singh 5 sixes. The team gave nothing just, nothing to their fans to cheer for, and the management failed to solve the problems.
Kolkata Knight Riders will once again face the Sunrirsers in the reverse fixture of IPL 2023. Last time their bowling unit failed against the SRH team, and still, the main concern for the team is their bowling department performance.
The Pacers are not even on the team. It’s amazing team management that the whole bowling department depends on the spin bowlers, who cannot carry the heavy burden now. In their previous match, Kolkata Knight Riders were all over the place and lost the match by 7 wickets.
Nitish Rana as a captain, is a big failure for the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise as he is not able to handle the pressure, and the bowling options he picks for the team are the worst decision for the team. It was a blunder move when he came up to bowl the 17th over in which Vijay Shankar hit 2 sixes and a four.
Lockie Ferguson should be given another chance on the team because having an experienced bowler on your side is positive for every team.
Jason Roy’s injury was salt in the wound for the Kolkata Knight Riders because he was the only batter who was scoring in every match, and the team hopes to see him back in the playing XI as possible. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was exceptional in the last match, as he scored 81 runs in just 39 balls.
It is going to be an exciting bottom-table encounter between Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders.
