19:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live match updates of the 54th Indian Premier League (IPL) match between SunRisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders.
Kane Williamson-led SRH, who scored a magnificent 81 off 42 balls against RCB -- his eighth fifty-plus score in IPL 2018, almost won the game for SRH despite the stiff target of 219 set by Virat Kohli's RCB but RCB's on-point death bowling did not let the SRH batsmen score freely in the last overs. The hosts will be eager to correct their bowling and fielding performance as they brace up to face another tough opposition. SRH are likely to bring in a couple of changes and pacer Basil Thampi, who on Thursday bowled the most expensive four overs in the history of IPL, could be missing out on his place in the playing XI. (Play Fantasy cricket and win cash daily)
Thampi leaked 70 runs in his full quota of four overs, surpassing the previous record held by Ishant Sharma. For KKR, spinner Kuldeep Yadav will be high on confidence after his career-best 4/20 against Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens in their last game and will be aiming to emulate his own performance against the famed SRH batting line-up. (Play Fantasy cricket and win lakhs daily)
However, KKR will have to make their batting click once again to reach the top-four.
Squads:
SRH: Kane Williamson (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Wriddhiman Saha, Siddharth Kaul, Deepak Hooda, Khaleel Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Shreevats Goswami, Ricky Bhui, Basil Thampi, T. Natarajan, Sachin Baby, Bipul Sharma, Mehdi Hasan, Tanmay Agarwal, Alex Hales, Carlos Brathwaite, Rashid Khan, Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Nabi and Chris Jordan.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have slacked off since they were confirmed as the first team to be through to the knockouts this season. They have lost their last two matches on the bounce against Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kolkata Knight Riders would be hoping that they are able to take advantage of this low patch that SRh are in and confirm a third spot finish with a win here. If they do so, they will only be the second team this season to have beaten SRH in Hyderabad.
