SUNRISERS HYDERABAD WIN THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO BOWL FIRST
(The Quiver): Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss elected to bowl against a formidable Kolkata Knight Riders camp at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. Hyderabad included J Suchith in place of injured Washington Sundar. Aaron Finch and Aman Khan made their debuts for Kolkata. Sunrisers’ all-rounder Sundar is likely to miss at least the next two IPL matches after suffering split webbing in his bowling hand. He got injured and couldn’t bowl his full quota of overs against Gujarat Titans, and it remains to be seen how the 2016 IPL champions line up in Washington’s absence. After a poor start, Hyderabad have turned things around and Kane Williamson’s team is now eying a hat-trick of victories. Kolkata, on the other hand, are heading into the match after a loss against Delhi Capitals. The two-time IPL winners were blown away by the batting might of Delhi and they will be looking to put up an improved performance against Hyderabad.
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer(c), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson(w), Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Aman Hakim Khan, Varun Chakaravarthy
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson(c), Rahul Tripathi, Nicholas Pooran(w), Aiden Markram, Shashank Singh, Jagadeesha Suchith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik, T Natarajan
