Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a bottom-of-the-table clash in the IPL, with the eighth and ninth-placed teams each trying to outdo each other.
The Knight Riders are coming off a dreadful stretch of play, dropping four of their last five games.
Sunrisers are looking a little better; they won their last game, the second part of their double-header with Delhi Capitals (DC) but have lost three of their past five.

SRH vs KKR match prediction
While the quality of both teams leaves a lot to be desired, you can expect this to be a close contest, as the teams sit next to each other on the IPL points table.
KKR sit ahead in the standings, but SRH come into the game with better form, with Abhishek Sharma (67 off 36 balls) and Heinrich Klaasen (53* off 27) steering them to victory over DC.
It will likely be tight, but with home advantage at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium — where they have a 64.5% winning record — SRH should be able to claim a close win.
