IPL’s fever raising day to day on people minds because of back to back explosive battles. IPL10 2017 is maintaining a great enthusiasm between people. Today’s 14th match of this IPL10 season is between Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. This would be a battle between two top bowling sides of the IPL and Kolkata will hope to avenge their defeat in the Eliminator round last season. After three games both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad have followed a similar pattern and have occupied slots in the top half of the table. Only net run-rate separates both teams and it will certainly make for a good contest when the two pretty evenly matched teams face off today. KKR won their first game at home against KXIP, pretty convincingly and will do little to change the momentum they’ve gained. On the other hand SRH is team that KKR have consistently got the better of. They have won six of the eight games against SRH overall and have never lost against them in four games at the Eden Gardens.
Here are 7 sneak preview of IPL 2017 14th match
#1 IPL10 season 2017 14th match is between Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. One of the biggest talking points was the move to open the batting with Sunil Narine and there are enough indications that KKR will persist with this strategy and not let it be just a one-off thing. For SRH too either of their openers Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner have managed to contribute in each of their games but it’s the inconsistent middle order that might worry them going into this game.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa
The Kolkata outfit boasts of the seasoned opening pair of captain Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa. There is no replacing the much reliable pair of Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa from the opening slot. The pair were not successful in the last season, but no one can doubt their credentials looking at the past records.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan
Batting superstars David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan will be heavily relied upon by Sunrisers Hyderabad to do bulk of the scoring. The David Warner led side were already a balanced outfit, but the addition of new players has added a new dimension to their side.
