IPL 2020: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders fantasy 11 predictions: Top Dream11 picks for SRH vs KKR

David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 35 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. The two sides will lock horns at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on October 18, 2020 (Sunday). It’s a day encounter, so, the game will kickstart from 3:30 PM (IST) onwards.  Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for SRH vs KKR.

Team Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

With three wins in eight clashes, Sunrisers Hyderabad is placed at the fifth position in the Points Table. Moreover, they suffered consecutive losses in their last two matches against Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings.

SRH batting unit looks heavily dependent on their top-order batsmen. On the other hand, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s absence is causing problems in their bowling attack. As a result, Rashid Khan faces pressure while bowling for the Hyderabad-based franchise.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Kolkata Knight Riders have had a strange season so far. After playing eight matches, KKR has four wins against their name. Moreover, changing captain mid-season didn’t turn out to be a great decision as they suffered a thumping defeat against Mumbai Indians in their previous game. It would be interesting to see how Eoin Morgan leads the side with his new captaincy role.

Kolkata made several changes in their last match, and with the result not coming in their favour, they might continue doing so in this game as well.
