We're reaching that stage of the tournament where each and every match is important and tonight's encounter couldn't be any different. In fact, the two teams involved tonight are placed so badly that they can't afford too many more reversals. 8th placed Kolkata Knight Riders are up against 9th placed Sunrisers Hyderabad in the latter's den in what could be a do-or-die encounter for both teams. Both have 6 points each and in a tightly contested tournament where as many as four teams are stuck together at 10 points, a defeat for either team could end their hopes of making it through to the playoffs. The Sunrisers revived their faltering campaign with a win over bottom placed Capitals in their last game while the Knight Riders slipped to a loss against the Titans from Gujarat

Hello, and welcome to match No. 47 of IPL 2023 as Sunrisers Hyderabad get ready to host Kolkata Knight Riders. Both teams on six points each are desperate for a win. While KKR are placed eighth on the points table with three wins and six losses, SRH are ninth with three wins and five defeats. A win will not get them in the mid-table traffic jam, but will get them closer. I am Ashish Pant, and we will soon have PDP driving the game.

Imp Information --

Toss points were added for rain interrupted 46th Match.

'It's pitch number 2 today and the dimensions are different. The side boundaries are 62m and 65m respectively while the straight boundary is 74m. A typical Hyderabad pitch, bereft of grass and it's very hard. There has been some rain over the past two days and it could be a bit slow initially. Spin could be critical tonight with the pitch expected to turn. KKR's spin trio would love bowling here. As a bowler, you need to stay in that good length area and make the most of your variations and slow down the pace. The captains need to use the spinners in the middle overs. Toss might not be a critical factor though', reckons Daren Ganga, in his pitch report
