The match will be played at KKR's home venue of Eden Gardens. Their team composition this year has a heavy emphasis on spin bowlers and batters who are capable of hitting spin, pointing very strongly to what kind of tracks we can expect this year.
Sunrisers Hyderabad boast one of the most fearsome white-ball batters going around today in Heinrich Klaasen. Along with the star power of Pat Cummins and the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, they could be a team to watch out for.
