Sunday 26th May Final, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
The MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai plays host to the final on Sunday when Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
These teams met in the first qualifier in Ahmedabad on Tuesday and KKR won by all of 8 wickets, bowling the Sunrisers out for 159 and crashing off the chase in just 13.4 overs. Mitchell Starc was MoM after returning figures of 3/34.
KKR topped the log in the regular season with 9 wins, 3 defeats and 2 no results to finish 3 points clear of their opponents here, the Sunrisers. They also beat the Surnrisers by 4 runs in Kolkata back in Match 3.
After losing the first qualifier to KKR the Sunrisers took on the Royals in the second qualifier on Friday at this venue and they came out on top by 36 runs. They posted 175/9 (Klaasen 50) and the Royals chase came up well short with Shahbaz Ahmed the star bowler with 3/23.
In the regular season the Sunrisers won 8, lost 5 and were involved in 1 no result to finish second behind KKR.
In the match result betting KKR are trading at 8/10 with BoyleSports and the Sunrisers can be backed at 21/20
GFTG Selections: Top KKR run scorer Shreyas Iyer at 7/2 with Sportingbet
Player Performance Abishek Sharma, over 32.5 at 17/20 with BoyleSports
Although KKR won the first qualifier easily the Sunrisers will have benefited from having beaten the Royals at this venue on Friday and that may help even things up.
I'm with Shreyas Iyer to be top KKR run scorer and in the PP market Abishek Sharma can pick up points with bat and ball for the Sunrisers.
