IPL 2017: 5 reasons why KKR can beat SRH in the eliminator

#3 A penetrative pace attack

Umesh Yadav has bowled with fire and passion and has an edge over Warner

Sunrisers have thrived on Warner and Dhawan's dynamic starts but they would do well to remember that Kolkata possess a capable pace attack. With Umesh Yadav and Chris Woakes settling into a nice combination, Kolkata have been making inroads early.

Ankit Rajpoot has filled in well for Nathan Coulter-Nile and Colin de Grandhomme has been effective with his broad shoulders. Umesh Yadav's current form is the biggest plus for Kolkata and his recent success against Warner means that Hyderabad will be wary of him.

Woakes might have left for England but Trent Boult walked in and bowled well in the final game of the league stage and should retain his place if Nathan Coulter-Nile remains in the sidelines. Boult has also had success against Warner which gives him a head start.
