Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 26 in what would be the second match for both sides in the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL).
Dinesh Karthik-led KKR had lost their opening game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) by 49 runs at the same venue on September 23. On the other hand, David Warner’s SRH had lost to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 10 runs in their first march. Thus, either of the two sides would register their first points of the season through this contest.
Reports suggest that SRH’s Mitchell Marsh had suffered from an ankle injury and has been ruled out of the tournament. While Jason Holder has been named as his replacement, he may not be immediately available to play. Kane Williamson also had an injury and may not be available for selection for this game, reports add.
SRH have won three of the last five head-to-head matches.
The match will begin at 7.30 pm Indian Standard Time (IST).
