This match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH) will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. This ground will have enough bounce and carry for the pacers. While the pitch will be good for batting, the extra bounce and carry for the fast bowlers on the surface can get them quick wickets. But the boundary of the Pune stadium is bigger than other stadiums, due to which the batsmen will have to use more force to hit big shots.
In the beginning, if the openers bat carefully with the new ball, then the bowlers can be beaten a lot in the end over. Because due to humidity, dew is also expected in the outfield of MCA. So the teams batting first have to set a score of at least 180+ to save the score.
