IPL 2017: SRH vs KKR Eliminator match preview, predictions

A very important match for both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad is scheduled to play today as both sides are set to meet in the eliminator match of Indian Premier League 2017. M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to host this SRH vs KKR eliminator match from 8:00 PM IST.

Preview

KKR made possible chances to of getting knocked out from the tournament from their own mistakes as if they managed to beat Mumbai in their last league match, they would have played first qualifier. But now things are change and team has to play according that.

No doubt Kolkata Knight Riders have got tremendous season and their batting has been sensational. Shikhar and Warner are the top run scorers in the 10th edition of Vivo Indian Premier League. Hence both these players will be crucial. Henriques, Yuvraj have played some gorgeous innings throughout the tournament to help team to win some good matches. Expectations will definitely be higher from these two in tonight’s big crunch game.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Siddarth Kaul and Mohammed Siraj have been the superstars for Orange Army. These bowlers have taken wickets as well as restrict the opposition from scoring runs. If Ashish Nehra makes his way tonight, it would have been great for Sunrisers.

On the other side, Kolkata will definitely look not to repeat mistakes in their batting when they face off title defenders tonight. However Narine has provided some top class and firing starts in the competition, I still believe Gambhir should come to open with Lynn. Both Lynn and Gambhir are gonna be key batsmen in the eliminator of IPL 2017 against SRH.
