Dubai: Skipper Kane Williamson should not have any doubts about the mistake Sunrisers made in deciding to bat at the end of the first innings. Kamala Brigade was completely cornered by the power of KKR bowlers with the bat. Williamson 26 and Abdul Samad 25 were the highest scorers. Among the Knight Riders bowlers, Southee, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakraborty got two wickets each. Shakib Al Hasan got a wicket.
The Knight Riders have won 13 times in the head-to-head meetings between the two teams till date. Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 7 times.Kolkata Knight Riders’ fight to reach the playoffs is getting tougher and tougher. The Knight Brigade’s hopes will virtually end if they fail to win against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Andre Russell’s absence is becoming evident in such a difficult situation. The Caribbean star has missed the last two matches due to a hamstring injury. As a result, there is a big gap in the balance of the team.
However, the way Varun Chakraborty, Sunil Narine, Shakibra, and the way the team fielded the Sunrisers batsmen from the start at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, it is not difficult to understand how desperate Shah Rukh Khan’s team is to win this match.
