Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Chance of Winning
Kolkata Knight Riders head into this season after making headlines in the auction as Mitchell Starc became the most expensive buy in IPL history. KKR head into this tournament after a disappointing campaign last season as they ended up seventh on the table and were knocked out in the group stages.
Much like their opponents, Sunrisers Hyderabad failed to find their footing last season as they managed to bag four wins in 14 games and ended up tenth on the table. They have added Pat Cummins and Travis Head to the roster which should give them a big boost this year. As per our calculations, Kolkata Knight Riders are slight favourites in this game.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Historically Eden Garden has been a great wicket to bat on as last season we saw the team batting first average 192.85 runs and in three of the seven matches we saw teams cross 200 mark. We believe both sides would score well in the upcoming game and the total score in the match would be over 333.5.
As we have stated at Eden Gardens we expect the batting lineup of both sides to flourish. Both sides are packed with heavy hitters with Phil Salt, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh on one side and Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen and Rahul Tripathi on the other end. We believe the total sixes in the game would be over 13.5.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Odds
Sunrisers Hyderabad to have a better opening partnership than Kolkata Knight Riders
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders head into this campaign after what was an underwhelming campaign for both teams as both sides failed to make the playoffs this season. Both teams made big changes in the auction as KKR splashed big money on Mitchell Starc but the main issue with KKR last year was their top order batting lineup especially at home. At Eden Garden, KKR’s average opening partnership is 23.28 but what makes this tip so enticing is the fact in five of the seven matches KKR conceded a bigger opening partnership. On the other hand, even though Sunrisers Hyderabad had a dismal showing last year in two head to head encounters, they managed an opening stand of 46 and 29 and in both games they had a better opening stand. Looking at the stats, we believe SRH would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Top Team Batters
Shreyas Iyer to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top batter
Shreyas Iyer missed the entire campaign last season and was a big miss as Kolkata Knight Riders failed to find consistency at the top order. Iyer’s return in the starting 11 would give KKR a big boost and we expect him to do well this season which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Heinrich Klaasen to be Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top batter
Heinrich Klaasen had a brilliant season last year and was the shining light in what was a dismal campaign for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the last match against KKR, Klaasen scored 36 off 20 balls and with 448 runs, he was the leading run scorer for his team which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Top Team Bowlers
Mitchell Starc to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top bowler
Kolkata Knight Riders went all out in the auction to get their star man. The reason they were so desperate to get Mitchell Starc is the fact that there aren’t that many bowlers in the world better than Starc who can make a difference straight away. We expect Starc to have a brilliant game which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to be Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top bowler
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was one of the most consistent bowlers for Sunrisers Hyderabad last year. In the two games against KKR, Kumar ended the game with 1/29 and 1/33. With 16 wickets, Kumar was the leading wicket taker for SRH in the last campaign which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
