The sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 will see Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Thursday, April 2. Both teams will be looking for their first win of the season.
KKR lost their first match to the Mumbai Indians by six wickets. However, their batting performed well and scored 220 runs in that game. They will hope to continue that strong batting performance in this match.
