Played 11, won 2, these are alarming stats from SRh and there are no signs that they will turn things around. They are out of this years IPL and only have pride to play for and we are not sure they have much of that looking at their performances.
They have been the team most affected by the restarting of the tournament and injuries. They’ve lost Stokes and Archer among others and no team would do well after losing top performers like that.
With the bat, Jonny Bairstow s still the top batsman despite only playing 7 matches – he did not return to the UAE.
T20 star Rashid Khan is the top bower for SRH with 14 wickets at 6.20 economy. Jason Holder Is second with 9 wickets so far at a 6.85 economy. No other bowler has more than 5 wickets and they all sit on an economy rate of over 8. Rashid Khan is an incredible bowler but he cannot do It all on his own!

SRH did okay in this match. They batted first and score 137, which always looked short. But they did an excellent job of defending the score and only lost with 2 balls remaining. Again later wickets would have helped them.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Prediction
KKR has everything to play for here if they wish to make the playoffs. With limited games remaining they need to get a win here to push on or they will be chasing the other teams and needing a win in their last match against Rajasthan. We do all feel they have the players and form to get the win.
Predicted Result: KKR to win in a tight match.

This result was a blow to KKR as they had a chance to get 2 points over their knockout rivals PBKS. They really needed a win but fell just short, meaning PBKS moved to 10 points and level with KKR in the table.
KKr lost the toss and were put in to bat first. At 90/1 we were expecting a big score but the wicket of Tripath at 90 and then Iyer at 120/3 meant the score tailed off and they finished on 165/7. This looked like a reasonable score but they could have done with 10-15 more runs.
With the ball, the match was going well despite not taking an early wicket. KL Rahul almost carried his bat but fell with 4 balls remaining. Shahrukh Khan did the damage when KKR looked to be getting on top. He finished with 22 from 9 balls, a 224 strike rate.
