It’s a very crucial game for the Sunrisers Hyderabad and they need to defeat Kolkata Knight Riders to seal their berth for the play-offs. In case if they lose, Royal Challengers Bangalore, who defeated Chennai Super Kings in their last game, will make it to the top four. Cameron White has done a good job as the skipper in the last couple of matches and he would want his team to continue the winning momentum. Kolkata Knight Riders have been disappointing right through the tournament and they need something special to end the tournament on a high note. Gautam Gambhir was their key players when the tournament kicked off and he hasn’t scored many match-winning knock. However the Gambhir-led side would want to defeat Hyderabad spoiling their party and ending the tournament on a high note.
