Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals
The first match of the day will see Punjab Kings take on Delhi Capitals in Mohali at 3:30 PM. Subsequently, the two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders will clash with the 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second match. Let’s delve into the details of the second match…
Captains Leading Their Teams for the First Time
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) played their first IPL match in 2008, with Brendon McCullum scoring 158 runs. Since then, KKR has won the title twice in 2012 and 2014 and was the runner-up in 2021. Now, under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, who leads KKR for the first time, the team will strive for success. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 2016 champions, will be led by Australia’s Pat Cummins, captaining for the first time in the IPL.
Key Players to Watch Out For
Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata’s Andre Russell has taken 17 wickets, the most for Kolkata. Following him is Sunil Narine with 11 wickets. In batting, Nitish Rana leads with 537 runs in 15 matches, followed by Manish Pandey with 351 runs in 14 matches. These players could shine against Hyderabad today.
Kolkata’s Strengths Against Hyderabad
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hyderabad’s lead pacer, has taken 32 wickets in 27 matches against Kolkata, the most in the IPL. Kolkata will rely on his performance to secure a victory. Additionally, Thangarasu Natarajan has taken 11 wickets in just 7 matches against Kolkata.
Head-to-Head Stats
In the IPL so far, Kolkata and Hyderabad have played 25 matches, with Hyderabad winning 9 and Kolkata winning 15. One match ended in a tie. Kolkata has a better record against Hyderabad at Eden Gardens Stadium, winning 54% of the matches played there.
Pitch Report
Kolkata’s pitch favors both spinners and pacers, but in the previous season, it was more batsman-friendly. However, this time, the pitch might be spin-heavy as Kolkata boasts top-class spinners like Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, and Suyash Prabhudessai.
Weather Conditions
Kolkata is expected to be warm on Saturday evening with no chances of rain. Dew may have an impact in the second inning, which would lead the team that won the toss to choose to chase.
