It’s a crucial game for Dinesh Karthik’s Kolkata Knight Riders as a loss there against Sunrisers Hyderabad and they start thinking about the next year as it is their last game in the IPL 2018. Team KKR have won their previous games and would look to win this one as well. Whereas SRH has lost their last two games and would want to go to the playoffs with a victory.

Talking about their head to head games, out of the last 13 times that the team has locked horns with each other, SRH has won 5 games whereas KKR has won 8. SRH has been in a good form whereas KKR has been hot and cold this season and have performed in patches. So overall it's going to be an interesting game!
