KKR vs SRH:
The goal for Kolkata Knight Riders will be to guarantee their place in the IPL 2024 Finals. Despite having their final two group-stage matches abandoned owing to bad weather, they were still able to secure the top place. But Phil Salt's departure—he went home for national duty—will make KKR's batting order more difficult. They are nonetheless well-suited to deal with the circumstance since the middle order includes skipper Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer, and Nitish Rana.
However, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) to secure the second position in the IPL 2024. Many teams have tried to imitate SRH's ultra-aggressive batting style, which has set the standard for the IPL 2024. Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Reddy have been a steady middle-order partnership for openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, who have both put on outstanding performances.
