IPL 2024: Qualifier 1, KKR vs SRH Today Match Prediction - Who will win today's IPL match?

The Sunrisers have been a revelation this season. From changing the approach to T20 batting they have built a strong line-up that dominates the powerplay. The Knight Riders though have silently done their bit too. They are among the most explosive sides as well but will have some contending to do. Their last two games were washed out which prevented them from seeing how their line-up stacks up without Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

KKR vs SRH Key Players

Nitish Kumar Reddy

Nitish Kumar has been one of the finds of the tournament. His batting, particularly against spin has been very measured, and he has shown that he can hit big. While Nitish Reddy has not yet made an impact with ball, he is showing glimpses of what he can do in the future with good pace and a good action.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Rahmanullah Gurbaz finally gets a hit this season. He has a pretty good record in T20 Cricket and KKR will not be able to find a closer replacement than him for Gurbaz, making him a player to watch.

KKR vs SRH, Battles to Watch

Sunil Narine vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Sunil Narine has been smoking it in the first few overs. He will have a challenge now though. The white-ball doesn’t swing long but if anyone could get the ball to talk it would be in the first over, where he will be looking to stop Sunil Narine.

KKR vs SRH Match Tips

Sunrisers could be favorites with KKR’s last two games washed out and Phil Salt gone.
