Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad come into this one on the back of a five-match winning streak. Sunrisers chased 244 in just 18.4 overs with six wickets left in hand against the Mumbai Indians the other day, having chases 229 before that. They have scored 200+ in all but two of their batting innings, with one of the those two seeing them post 194-9.

They now face a Kolkata Knight Riders side that began without a win in their opening six matches but they have now enjoyed back-to-back victories, recently producing a super-over win against the Lucknow Super Giants, courtesy of Sunil Narine taking 2-1 in his three balls in that super-over.

KKR have found some form at last, but neither of their victories have been convincing and the Sunrisers should simply out score then in Hyderabad.
