Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are all set to take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) today in the Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Narendra Modi stadium.
It's the battle between the top two teams of the IPL. Kolkata Knight Riders with 20 points, winning 9 out of their 14 matches, is in the top of the table whereas Sunrisers are in the second position with 17 points.
KKR hadn't played their last two matches as it ended in No-result because of the rain. Sunrisers is full of confidence with their last win against Punjab Kings where they chased 215 runs comfortably.
Head-To-Head
KKR and SRH have met thrice in the playoffs (2016, 2017 and 2018), where Hyderabad won twice. But when it comes to overall head-to-head stats, KKR has the upper hand by winning 17 out 26 matches with SRH winning only 9.
Knight Riders have met Sunrisers once this season, in which KKR emerged victorious. It was a close contest match where KKR won by 4 runs but SRH's star batter Travis Head was missing in the playing XI. KKR posted 208 in 20 overs on the scoreboard, where Andre Russel fired for the team scoring 64 runs. In reply, Sunrisers Hyderabad fell short of the target scoring 204 in their 20 overs.
With the inclusion of their star batter Travis Head, we could witness a interesting contest today.
