Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKRvSRH): The 61th match of IPL 2022 will be played between KKR vs SRH, the match will start at 07:30 PM IST on 14 May 2022 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, India
Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- PBKS has a stronger batting lineup with more power
- RCB’s top order is not the most convincing and that could be a problem at a high scoring venue like the Brabourne
- RCB has not won any of the matches it has played at the Brabourne so far
KKR vs SRH Analysis:
When Kolkata Knight Riders met SunRisers Hyderabad about a month ago, it was in the middle of a chastening spell of five successive defeats. Shreyas Iyer felt “drained” after the game and put the loss down to a “bad day with the ball”. Little did he know that many bad days were still to come, the likes of which unraveled his team’s strong start to the season
This time around though, it’s SRH who are in somewhat similar circumstances. Should KKR hand them a fifth consecutive defeat on Saturday (May 14), it will be a nice little payback. But there’s also a lot riding on the result of this match.
Both teams seem to have a very slim chance of qualifying for the Playoffs, given their low tally of 10 points and their negative Net Run Rates. Delhi Capitals, with an NRR of +0.210 on the other hand, appear much better placed.
But for both KKR and SRH, a victory isn’t going to hurt whatever’s left of their campaign. KKR, especially, would see it as a good opportunity to build on their big win over Mumbai Indians in the last match, although they will have their work cut out without Pat Cummins who’s flown back home with a minor hip issue. There’s also the case of Brendon McCullum taking up the England coaching offer in the middle of KKR’s campaign, meaning there’s already a sense of flux in the camp and how the team responds to the news will be fascinating to watch. As will be to witness if SRH are able to turn their season around.
Match Details:
Match 61- KKR vs SRH
Date: 14 May, 2022
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, India
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
A tricky call at the toss; nine of the 12 games in Pune have been won by teams batting first but teams are still reluctant to defend ttals. The venue is also a happy hunting ground for KKR who have won seven of their eight games here. SRH, in contrast, have only won once in their five matches here.
Team Preview:
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):
Shreyas Iyer’s side has been guilty of getting the team combinations wrong far too often this season, and it was only in the last game that they perhaps played their best eleven. It was, interestingly, a return to their Plan A, which they had tried and abandoned earlier this season. Cummins’s unavailability, though, throws another spanner in the works but if Umesh Yadav recovers from the calf strain which kept him out of the last game, it will make KKR’s life a whole lot easier. It could also allow Sam Billings to come in as the fourth overseas player and take the gloves.
Rahul Tripathi, in his innings of 71 off 37, had answers for everything his previous team threw at him. So, expect KKR to come up with a fresh set of plans this time. It could include bowling more of Andre Russell at him, whom he faced for only three deliveries in the earlier encounter before losing his wicket on the fourth. Russell will also come in handy against Nicholas Pooran, another middle-order batter whom he’s gotten out four times previously.
Likely XI: Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer(c), Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Sheldon Jackson/Sam Billings(w), Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Varun Chakaravarthy

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH):
The injury-absence of Washinton Sundar and T Natarajan have, without a doubt, had an effect on the team’s fortunes, as has Kane Williamson’s form or lack thereof. But both the bowlers are expected to be fit for the KKR game, which will be a massive boost to the side.
KKR spinners have the best economy out of all teams this season and it’s possible that the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy take on SRH early in the game. As it is, SRH have hit the least number of boundaries in the PowerPlay and will need to get quicker off the blocks. In that sense, a lot will rest on their openers Abhishek Sharma and Williamson.
Likely XI: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson(c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran(w), Shashank Singh, Washington Sundar, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Umran Malik
