KKR vs SRH, IPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details

Match 19 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will see the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host this encounter on Friday.

The Kolkata Knight Riders lost their opening game against the Punjab Kings but bounced back soon after. They beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next game and defeated the Gujarat Titans thereafter in a thriller of a contest.

Sunil Narine picked up three wickets but the other bowlers struggled as the Titans posted 204 on the board. Chasing it, the Knight Riders kept falling behind the required run rate despite a 83-run knock from Venkatesh Iyer.

The game went down to the wire. With 29 required from the last over, Rinku Singh hit five consecutive sixes on the last five balls to take KKR across the line. They will be brimming with confidence after that win and will look to repeat their performance on Friday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, didn’t have the best of starts to the competition. They lost to the Rajasthan Royals and the Lucknow Super Giants in their first couple of games. The franchise finally managed to open their account by beating the Punjab Kings in their next fixture.

Bowling first, Mayank Markande bowled brilliantly and picked up four wickets to help his side restrict the Kings to 143/9. In reply, Rahul Tripathi played a fantastic knock of 74* off 48 balls which helped them chase down the total in 17.1 overs for an eight-wicket victory.

The Sunrisers have found the right combination and will be hoping to carry forward their winning momentum.
