Welcome to the SRH vs KKR Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts.

Keep on reading for more information on the SRH vs. KKR game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has finally found their groove and perfect eleven after two consecutive losses in the initial matches. They currently sit at the 8th spot with 2 wins and 2 losses which came in the first two games only. Most importantly their engine Kane Williamson scored fifty in the last game and looked back to his supreme best.
Their batting department was under the scanner after disappointing outings in the first two games but the rise of Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi, now makes them a completely different side. Unfortunately, the injury of Washington Sundar leaves a big hole in their bowling department and comes at the wrong time.
If we talk about Kolkata Knight Riders then their journey so far has been filled with excitement and craziness. They label themselves as entertainers of tournaments and their playing time backs their claims. Kolkata is coming off a disappointing loss against Delhi Capitals and their bowling will be the biggest area of concern for Shreyas and co.
Pat Cummins has started this IPL with a bang but it’s his batting that has been making headlines. He has conceded more than 45 runs in both matches and if doesn’t improve then it could be the same old story for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Both teams play with a contrasting approach as Sunrisers are more of the conservative side while Kolkata has been the aggressive one and in past times, Kolkata has dominated this race. Knight Riders have won 4 of the last 5 encounters against Sunrisers and this time also they start as favorites. Kolkata has many match-winners in the team while the injury of Washington Sundar could make it really difficult for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

SRH vs KKR Today Match Prediction, IPL 2022, Who Will Win the Match?
KKR to win
Kolkata Knight Riders look like a team on a mission with their aggressive style of play even in difficult situations. Their team looks really threatening and the mystery duo of Narine and Varun adds misery to the other team.
The match will be played at Brabourne which is a paradise for batting and Sunrisers Hyderabad might not like these conditions, especially after the injury of Washington Sundar. Looking at Kolkata’s gas in the batting tank, we think they are gonna come on top against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Team Update/Players Availability/Injury News
- Ajinkya Rahane is going through a rough patch and doesn’t even look confident with his body language. Someone like Sheldon Jackson could replace him in the XI
- Washington Sundar is injured which possibly opens the door for Shreyas Gopal or Jagadeesha Suchith to make their first appearance this season.
