Probability for the Team to Win

KKR is the fan’s favorite in this match as they have consecutively won their last 3 games in this league. Their performance throughout the season was appreciable. KKR is already at the top position in the points table with the SRH franchise next to them. SRH is also a strong contender with a great probability to win today.

KKR vs SRH: Winning Probability

KKR may appear slightly weaker due to Phil Salt's departure which has disrupted his combination with Sunil Narine at the top of the order. KKR's two washouts in the last two matches didn't allow 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is to play a game before the major playoff encounter. Gurbaz's last competitive match was in mid-March.

However, given that this match will be played in Ahmedabad, it is possible that KKR would fall behind SRH in this regard. 

The venue could produce a slow, black-soil turner, which benefits KKR and their spinners Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. 

KKR have also scored the most runs in the death overs this season, demonstrating that they are not completely dependent on their opening pair.
