Hyderabad: A keen contest is on the cards when the rampaging Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clash with defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a second phase league match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Hyderabad on Sunday.

Leading the points table with 14 points from nine matches (with just two losses), KKR have been in sublime form in the ongoing edition of IPL. Sunrisers, on the other hand, are currently on the third spot with 11 points from nine matches.

The fact that some of the records in the ongoing IPL are held by KKR players reflect the red-hot form of the team. KKR captain Gautam Gambhir holds the Orange Cap in batting, Sunil Narine, who is now a dependable opener for KKR, is at the top in the race for 'most valuable player' and Robin Uthappa has hit the 'most sixes'. KKR would look to continue their winning streak but Sunrisers would like to avenge their defeat in their previous meeting in Kolkata on April 15 where they lost by 17 runs.
However, SRH have shown much improvement with captain David Warner, opener Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson showing excellent form. Though Yuvraj Singh has not been in the best of his form, he can turn things around on his day. Sunrisers also have one of the best bowling attacks among the IPL teams this season and Bhuvneshwar Kumar continues to hold the Purple Cap.
