The table-leaders Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first qualifier at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Both teams will want to bring their best and book their final ticket for the summit clash of the tournament.
KKR and SRH have adopted an aggressive batting technique throughout the season and it has paid dividends. The top-order has done a fine job for both of these teams and thus KKR will certainly miss the services of in-form Phil Salt.
Both of these teams are expected to continue with their aggressive approach and the bowling unit will hold the key.

KKR’s in-form opener Sunil Narine needs four sixes to complete 100 maximums in the IPL.
