KOL vs SRH Dream11 IPL Match Prediction :
Kolkata Knight Riders suffered a big 49 runs’ loss in their opening match against Mumbai Indians. In that match their batting as well as bowling plans were beyond our understandings. Their bowlers especially Pat Cummins and Kuldeep Yadav need to bowl according to batsmen’s weakness and should work on lengths too. Sandeep Warrier too can do better with the new balls and Russell should be used more in middle overs. In the batting Gill and Narine have to give good start and Nikhil Naik can be used a floater while Eoin Morgan should be promoted to number 4 so he can set the platform for a good score.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad who also disappointed against Royal Challengers Bangalore needs to strengthen their batting so they can avoid collapse like last match and it will also give some freedom to Warner and Bairstow who are backbones of this batting line up. The likes of Vijay Shankar and Abhishek have to do well down the order and in the bowling Sandeep Sharma, Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar this trio have to step up.
KOL vs SRH Dream11 Team :
Wicket Keepers : J Bairstow
Batsmen : S Gill, D Warner, A Sharma
All rounders : S Narine, A Russell, V Shankar
Bowlers : P Cummins, S Mavi, T Natarajan, R Khan
Captain and Vice Captain :
Following players can be picked as captain or vice captain of KOL vs SRH Dream11 fantasy teams.
Sunil Narine : He is also a top player of this format. Mostly bowls very good spells like in the last match he picked up 1 wicket for just 22 runs and in the opening he has played many good knocks at a very good strike rate so for the fantasy teams he should be an automatic pick.
Andre Russell : The big man Andre Russell has been the most valuable player of this format. Bowls two-three overs spell in almost every match and batting at six or seven he has the ability to play big knocks like he did in the past.
Jonny Bairstow : He has been in good form in limited overs for some time. In the first match against Bangalore he played a wonderful knock of 62 runs and seeing his recent form he should continue his good run.
David Warner : He got run out for a small score in the first match but he has been the most consistent batsman in IPL’s history and his record against Kolkata Knight Riders is excellent as he has smashed 829 runs at 43 plus with 2 hundreds and 4 fifties against them.
X Factors or Valuable Picks :
Following players can be good picks for KOL vs SRH Dream 11 Prediction teams who can help in winning in grand leagues.
Rashid Khan : One of the best spinners in the world. He is a wicket taker in this format and also a handy batsman who can hit a few boundaries down the order and against a team like Kolkata Knight Riders he will be very useful.
Shubman Gill : One of the highly rated and talented young batsmen in India. In the first match he scored only 10 runs but should come good in this match and in opening he will have full freedom to go against Hyderabad bowling.
Pat Cummins : Had a very poor start of his tournament as he leaked 49 runs in 3 overs but in batting he smashed four sixes and showed his batting ability and a bowlers like him can’t go wicket less every time and in this match he will be eager to bounce back.
