KKR Vs SRH IPL 2024 Qualifier 1: Predicted Lineups For The Epic Clash

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Playing 11: It will be a battle between two Biryani cities as Kolkata Knight Riders take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2024 on Tuesday (May 21).

The stage is set at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, as the top two of the season will be locking horns against each other in the crucial match. Both teams know the reward of a victory, as the winners will go through to the Final. It's not the end for the losers either, as they will get another crack against the winner of the Eliminator.

Kolkata Knight Riders will be without the services of Phil Salt, as the Englishman has gone back for international duties. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the likely replacement as he will open the batting with Sunil Narine. Apart from this, KKR is likely to name the same team. It is to be seen how they adjust after a long gap, as both of KKR's last two group matches were abandoned due to rain.

Sunrisers Hyderabad registered the 2nd place as Rajasthan's final match got washed out. The Orange Army do have their full squad available and their batters are in menacing form. The opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma will have to showcase their prowess again, while the likes of Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Reddy are also set to play a crucial role. Marco Jansen can come back to the side, replacing Viyaskanth, while Jaydev Unadkat may also make a return.
