PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:
Sunrisers Hyderabad must be disappointed as they couldn’t beat RCB in their opening game. In the 16th over, at securing 121 runs with the loss of 2 wickets, they inclined the match towards them, but the middle order collapsed by just 10 runs. A huge blow for the team is the absence of Mitchell Marsh for the remaining tournament because of serious injury. Jason Holder will replace him.
On the other hand, Losing the 1st match in the 2020 IPL, KKR clearly knows that another defeat will peg them back in the league. They can’t afford to loos the 2nd match. KKR’s problem in the 1st match is their batting. With Dinesh Karthik, Nitish Rana, and Eoin Morgan, they have good middle order and Andre Russell will act as a strong finisher. KKR might replace Pat Cummins by Lockie Ferguson.
