That is one stat which is surely to change tonight as one team will definitely come out on top over the other.<\/p>\n<p>KKR seem to have bigger issues in their squad as they lost by 49 runs against Mumbai Indians in their first game. Young pacer Shivam Mavi and Sunil Narine were the only positives with the ball in hand, whereas in batting there were no positives at all apart from a cameo by Pat Cummins at the very end of the game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">8\ufe0f\u20e3 overs<br \/>5\ufe0f\u20e34\ufe0f\u20e3 runs<br \/>3\ufe0f\u20e3 wickets<\/p>\n<p>How good were these two in our last outing! \ud83d\ude0d<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/KKRHaiTaiyaar?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#KKRHaiTaiyaar<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dream11IPL?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Dream11IPL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/KKRvSRH?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#KKRvSRH<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6inP4iJXmN\">pic.twitter.com\/6inP4iJXmN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 KolkataKnightRiders (@KKRiders) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KKRiders\/status\/1309734614898892800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 26, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>SRH would not have been really pleased with their performance either, however an argument can be made that their defeat against RCB could have been avoided if all-rounder Mitchell Marsh would have not been injured.
