Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh are both unbeaten on wickets and if these two players can bat aggressively, then Kolkata Knight Riders will definitely be able to post a score of 180 plus. Kolkata Knight Riders may have been under pressure in the beginning but Ajinkya Rahane and Angkhrish Raguvangshi were able to overcome that pressure to some extent.
Moreover, Kolkata Knight Riders have managed to score 135 runs after 16 overs and if those who are behind them become aggressive and can score above 50 runs in the remaining four overs, then the runs will easily reach 185 plus. However, if the score is below 190 runs at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, that score will not be a difficult target at all and any team can chase this score on this ground. However, Kolkata Knight Riders lost to RCB in their opening match of this year's IPL at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Today, I see a high possibility of Kolkata Knight Riders losing at Eden Gardens.
LOL.. what is the use of 180 plus? Take a look at the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting lineup. They have Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan opening the batting. Then they have Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen. And down the order they have Aniket Verma, who performed really well against Delhi Capitals. Any total of less than 200 will be easily chased down by them. That said, Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh are blasting the SRH bowlers all around the park during depth overs. KKR has got to 187/4. 200 may still be a possibility.
I am also fan of SRH batting, but things are not good for them in early two games as they fail to score as they needed now in this today big game between both KKR and SRH I was also expecting 185 to 190 but in last 5 overs 78 runs change the match momentum.
Both Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer score 91 runs which are surely big boost for their team in this game Cummins and Harshal Patel have bad day in match as these both punished by KKR batsmen with Rinku Singh is surely good at this number. While Venkatesh Iyer hammered 60 runs on 29 balls which is surely match changer inning now it's going to be interesting for both teams as KKR can defend this total against lethal SRH bowling which have many killers into their lineup.
