However, fielding first has been the trend with teams opting to chase thrice while the team winning the toss has batted first once. Although the results favour the team's defending totals, bowling first is likely to be the preferred choice considering the possibility of the dew factor.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders Top Team Bowlers

Mayank Markande to be Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top bowler

Mayanka Markande has been at the top of the wickets column with 10 wickets from six innings with a bowling average of 15.40 and an economy of seven. The Hyderabad pitch might also turn out to be a sticky surface and so the leg-spinner might wreak havoc with the ball.

Varun Chakravarthy to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top bowler

Chakravarthy has been the top wicket-taker for the side taking 13 wickets from nine innings with a bowling average of 21.1 and a strike rate of 15.5. The spinner has been effective with his skills and he might give some trouble to the opposition as they have batters who are not very good to handle quality spin.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Sunrisers Hyderabad

Out of the four matches played at the venue, two of the games were low-scoring games. Also, the spinner played a crucial role in those fixtures with Mayank Markande taking four wickets in one game while Washington Sundar displayed an impressive performance with three wickets in the other. The surface might be on the slower side once again and in such case, KKR will have the upper hand as they have quality spinners in the side and SRH’s key batters like Aiden Markram, Rahul Tripathi, and Harry Brook have been struggling with the form.

• SRH to win @ 1.805 (Melbet)
• KKR to win @ 2.005 (Melbet)
