Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad | Team Bets from which we can Mint Money

Kolkata Knight Riders will go head on with Sunrisers Hyderabad in match number 8 of the Indian Premier League 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, in Abu Dhabi, on September 26, Saturday. Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad have both lost their opening games and both teams are looking for a win. It is still early days in this ongoing season of the Indian Premier League and the teams are finding it hard to get their combinations right. The ones who have got it right, they have gone on to win the initial games but for these two sides, they seemed to have failed to do so in their respective opening games. It is going to be one heck of a game and one can be rest assured that it could end up being an enthralling encounter. While we wait in anticipation for this clash, you can take a look at the team markets that I have gathered for you to bet on. Shall we get going?

Kolkata Knight Riders to win

Kolkata Knight Riders may have lost their opening game but they have a lot of pedigree in them to bounce back in the tournament. It is only their second game of the tournament and Dinesh Karthik and co. are likely to win this one against the Sunrisers. I am not saying this on the basis of my hunch as I have data to back this claim of mine so without any further delay I will get going. The two teams have met 17 times in the previous seasons of the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders have won 10 games and have left 7 for their opponent. In the last 12 head-to-head encounters, Kolkata Knight Riders have won on 7 occasions and they might as well make it 8 tomorrow. The last few times these two sides have collided in the Indian Premier League, the game has swung both ways. But considering the strengths and pedigree, I am ready to go with the two-time champions. Therefore, head over to the 10Cric website and place your bets on a Kolkata Knight Riders win as they are offering odds of 2.00.

Kolkata Knight Riders to hit more sixes in the game

Kolkata Knight Riders seem to be running away with this particular market as well along with the previous season. Dinesh Karthik and co. have some serious hitters in their rank and that is what makes them an extremely dangerous side. In this ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders have smashed 7 sixes in their only game and Sunrisers Hyderabad could manage only three of them in their first match. Kolkata Knight Riders have smashed 143 sixes in the previous season of the IPL compared to only 81 hits of Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the last 5 head-to-head encounters between these two top sides, Kolkata Knight Riders have clobbered 38 sixes and, on the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have managed to smash 31 sixes. The statistics are indicative of the fact that Kolkata Knight Riders are likely to win this market quite easily and thus putting your money on this market is certainly not going to dishearten you. 10Cric is offering brilliant odds of 2.00 for Kolkata Knight Riders to hit more sixes in the game.

1st innings total to be over 165.5 runs

Coming to the final section of this article and this is where things get a little more interesting than usual. Before the tournament had begun, I was skeptical about these wickets in the United Arab Emirates but the way it has played out I am willing to take back my predictions. I had claimed that the wickets are going to be slow and low and they are going to be favouring the bowlers but it has not gone as I had thought. The last four matches leading to this fixture have provided totals of more 166 runs and more interestingly, two of these matches have even crossed the 200-run mark irrespective of the sizes of the boundaries. In the last 9 head-to-head encounters between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 166-run mark has been breached on four occasions. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.83 for the 1st innings total to be more than 165 runs and that should be easily achievable with the kind of wickets we have witnessed so far in this tournament.
