Earlier Sunil Narine gave Kolkata a quick start. In the 2.3 overs, the team's score was 42 runs. Naren had scored 25 runs in 7 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. After finishing with 6, 4, 6 on three balls, Khalil made Naren clean-bowled on the fourth ball.

Shubhaman Gill, promoted in the batting order soon after making 3 runs in 4 balls. Khalil was also running them. After this, Nitish Rana, who played a spectacular game in the last match, took charge of batting. Only 15 runs were added to the score that they also scored 65 runs in 7.1 overs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar got out of the wicket by Bereshro in an extra bounce ball with Nitish Rana (11 runs in 11 balls). Dinesh Karthik was run out in his own call in the next over in an irresponsible manner.

Playing XI is as follows:

Three changes were made in the Kolkata team for today's match. In the last match, poor performers Robin Uthappa, Kuldeep Yadav, along with famous Krishna have also been excluded from the team. Hyderabad, on the other hand, will go on the field with no change.

Hyderabad: Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Shubhaman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper / captain), Piyush Chawla, Casey Cariappa, Harry Gurney, Yara Prithviraj

Kolkata: David Warner, John Wyatt (wicketkeeper), Ken Williamson (captain), Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda, Yusuf Pathan, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Bhubaneswar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, K. Khalil Ahmed.

Whose side is heavy?

Both teams have the same number of points, although the Hyderabad team has played a match less. In the previous match, Hyderabad defeated Chennai and broke the three-match losing streak.

The Kolkata team will also want to break the lead. In the last four matches, he has not won. The race for the playoff is stunned. Both teams know the importance of victory in such a way.

Kolkata's Russell and Nitish Rana gave almost victory against Bangalore. On top of the order, he had a big responsibility in the Death Overs. Russell has also raised questions in the lower order.

On the other hand, hosts Hyderabad too heavily depend on their openers David Warner. His concern will also increase because Johnny Bairstow will leave for England this week.
