IPL 2023: Match 19, KKR vs SRH Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between KKR vs SRH?

After the extraordinary scenes in the previous contest, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host Aiden Markram’s Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Nitish Rana-led KKR started off their campaign with a loss, however, the side swiftly got two consecutive victories and have a healthy Net Run Rate (NRR) of 1.375.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, SRH started off their campaign with two back-to-back losses and followed it with a win in their most recent outing against Punjab Kings. Speaking about their head-to-head records in the last five matches, KKR have an upper hand with wins in four occasions whereas, SRH have only prevailed once.

Gurbaz has the potential to score big once he gets into his element. In fact, the batter likes to take the powerplay overs (1-6) to his favour and get the big runs. It will not be a surprise if the opener scores a mammoth knock against SRH in the next match.
