The top two teams of the league phase meet in the first qualifier as the Kolkata Knight Riders take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad. It is no doubt that these two have been the best teams over the course of the season. Since the match is being played on the neutral venue of Ahmedabad, there will be no home ground advantage for either side. Both teams have built their success on incredible opening batting partnerships. They have been unstoppable in the Powerplays and once again they will be going on attack from the first ball.

KKR vs SRH Match Prediction: who will win?
The opening partnership of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have twice reached the 100 mark in the first six overs so the KKR bowlers will need to take early wickets or they could be in for a long evening. KKR’s opening batters, Sunil Narine and Phil Salt have also been electric with the promotion of Narine to opener being the masterstroke of this season’s IPL. In a match that is likely to be dominated by the batsmen as both teams’ strength is in their batting, the bowler’s role will be crucial. The best way to slow the batting is to take wickets and we feel SRH have an advantage in the bowling department.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Toss Prediction
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium has not changed too much during the course of the match in recent seasons. The team winning the toss should look to have a bowl as it is easier to chase at this venue.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Top Run scorer Prediction
We are tipping Travis Head to top score in this match after his failure in the last match.
KKR vs SRH top Wicket Taker Prediction
We are backing Bhuvneshwar Kumar to be the top wicket taker in this match.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Preview
The major advantage of finishing in the top two means that these sides will have another chance to make the final even if they lose this match. The pressure will not be as great as in a straight knockout semi-final so we can expect the players to continue with their aggressive batting style. The man that could be the difference between the sides is Travis Head. He will have fond memories of this ground as he scored a century to win the World Cup for Australia last year. The middle order of SRH with the likes of Heinrich Klasssen and Nitesh Reddy have the edge over the KKR middle order therefore we are tipping the Sunrisers for the win.
