On Thursday, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders will take on each other in the 47th group-stage match of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The high-octane clash is scheduled at the Rajiv Gandhi international stadium in Hyderabad. 


Team Preview: Sunrisers Hyderabad

The journey of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2023 has been shambolic, to say the least. Marred by inconsistency, the Hyderabad batters are yet to put up an impact as a unit. Their bowling department has been even worse, failing to strike at crucial junctures. 

However, they finally broke their three-match losing streak last time, defeating Delhi Capitals by a narrow nine-run margin. Riding on flamboyant half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen, SRH posted a massive 197 and later defended it successfully to record their third victory of this season. 

Despite the win, they still have plenty of problems, with Harry Brook's miserable batting form being the most prominent one. He has been shuffled enough throughout the order, but is yet to find a suitable entry point for himself. 

So, moving on to this game, SRH would like better returns from their core players- particularly Brook, Aiden Markram and Rahul Tripathi. 


Team Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders

The IPL 2023 campaign of Kolkata Knight Riders hasn't been much different from that of their opponents. They had an impressive start to the tournament, registering thumping wins over RCB and GT. But unfortunately, they couldn't sustain the momentum and succumbed to five crushing defeats in their subsequent six fixtures. 

Barring RCB, KKR haven't been able to prevail over any of their opponents. Even they lost it by 23 runs when these two sides met the previous time in the tournament. Their batting has been decent; it's the bowling department that has let them down. So, the Knight Riders would want their bowlers to step up and put up an impressive show tomorrow.
