Kolkata Knight Riders:
KKR batting wobbled but it was first Gill and Karthik and later Russell that launched to a winning score. The team looks settled and only spot available for the experiment is that of Searles. He bowled only one over in the last match. But changing combination at this crucial juncture will probably not happen.

Although SRH team lost the last match against Chennai Super Kings, they are unlikely to change their playing XI. Brathwaite delivered with the bat and is likely to be continued with.
