Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by Aiden Markram, has had a forgettable season so far, having lost five out of eight matches played. Several matches were lost due to SRH’s weak batting performance, as none of their batters have found their form yet. Although bowling is their strength, SRH’s bowlers have been unable to win matches. They have been unsuccessful in stopping batsmen from scoring runs in the death overs and defending targets.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders had a tough experience in their IPL 2023 campaign, winning only three out of nine matches. However, their batters have performed well, with players like Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Venkatesh Iyer in sublime form. Meanwhile, their bowling unit has had an ordinary season so far. In the upcoming encounter against SRH, the Kolkata-based franchise will put up a strong challenge.
