IPL 2017, SRH vs KKR: 5 winning factors

#3. Strategy

Sunil Narine would be needed to score heavily during the powerplay

Both teams have their own winning specialities, while KKR favour chasing, SRH like to defend. Hence, we might probably see SRH batting first and KKR chasing, unlike their previous encounter.

SRH would expect Warner and Dhawan to provide a start similar to the one in their previous game against Kings XI Punjab following which Williamson would produce his fireworks with assistance from Yuvraj Singh and Moises Henriques. Provided SRH’s top five fire, Hooda and Ojha may not even be required to bat.

For KKR, Gautam Gambhir and Sunil Narine will be expected to fire on all cylinders during the powerplay overs following which Uthappa and Manish Pandey will have to fire during the middle overs. Yusuf Pathan, Colin de Grandhomme, and Chris Woakes will be expected to chip in with a cameo or two during the death overs.
