Date: Time: Venue: Match No:
11th April 2021 7:30 P.M MA Chidambaram Stadium, 1
Chennai
**MATCH PREVIEW:
Kolkata Knight Riders haven’t had a great IPL journey in the last few years. In the last two years 2019 and 2020. even they had not qualified for the final.
But the story is expected to be different this time, with the last ICC winning team captain Eoin Morgan will take charge of captainship from the beginning.
They have added some good players to their team this year, which includes the very experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.
They will play their first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai by this evening.
SRH had played playoffs last season but couldn’t make it to the finals.
SRH was already a powerful team, so whatever additions they have made at the auction table are simply to add to their depth, and not replace any last year’s team’s player.
**Pitch Report:
The surface here in MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai got a good bounce and carry as like to most of the Indian Ground.
this surface is tough for the batsman to deal with the bowl. spinners will get help from the pitch so, in today’s first match, the spinner will play an important role.
Anything over 160 is a Difficult score for the chase on this surface.
1st Inning Average score-156 runs
