SRH vs KKR Dream11 Team Prediction of IPL 2019: Preview | Williamson and Karthik Collide

By Pranob Thachanthara

The second match of Indian Premier League 2019 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. We are covering SRH vs KKR Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20 match. The match is to be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is clear favorites of Vivo IPL’19 because of their well-balanced squad. They have a world-class batsman like Kane Williamson, David Warner, Manish Pandey etc along with quality allrounders like Shakib, Vijay Shankar and Mohammad Nabi to support their main strength i.e. Their lethal bowling attack led by Bhuvi and Rashid. Last year, They missed the trophy losing to CSK in the finale but will be determined to become the champions of Indian Premier League 2019.

Kolkata Knight Riders had a decent run in IPL 2018 and will play with a similar squad this year too. A fiery opening pair of Narine and Lynn along with consistent middle order and finishers like Karthik and Russell makes their batting department one of the best among all teams. Their spin strength of Kuldeep, Narine and Piyush Chawla will also create problems for opponents. They will hope to exploit home advantage and give a tough challenge to the mighty Sunrisers Hyderabad team.

A good encounter can be expected between both teams.
