Kolkata Knight Riders have won the toss and have opted to field. Nitish Rana, the KKR captain, said, “We’ll bowl first. We’ve been practicing here and there has been dew. Keeping in mind, we want to chase. Same XI for today.”
Aiden Markram, the SRH skipper, was happy either way but would have looked to bowl first considering the trend. “This is a high-scoring wicket, so happy to get runs on the board. Nice to get a win, and today is a fresh start. Hopefully, we can do well. One change, Abhishek Sharma comes in for Washi Sundar. I don’t think we’ll set a target; you need to look at the pitch and then reassess. Whatever we get, we’ll try our best to defend,” said Markram.
The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams looking to secure a victory.
