The third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played on March 23 (Saturday) between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The clash will take place at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and will commence at 7:30 PM IST. This is the first match for both teams and they will look to start their campaign with a win.
Both KKR and SRH weren’t able to make it to the playoffs last season with the former side ending at seventh place while the Hyderabad team finished at the 10th position. However, they have new captains this year with Shreyas Iyer taking charge of the team while World Cup winner Pat Cummins will lead SRH. Expect this to be an enthralling clash between KKR and SRH.
Today’s match prediction is what follows in this article with analysis of both teams:
The biggest positive for KKR this season is the return of their skipper Shreyas Iyer who missed last season due to injury. Moreover, the most expensive signing in IPL history Mitchell Starc is also set to play in the cash-rich league for the first time since 2015.
The team has all the ingredients to start as favourites but they will have to click as a unit to beat SRH in their opening game.
Phil Salt is certainly a player who can take the attack to the opposition from the first ball. He is coming off two consecutive fifties in the practice matches played before the tournament.
Moreover, his form in the T20 leagues has also been great. Salt will open the innings for KKR and the onus will definitely be on him to his T20 strike-rate of 153.41 to get the team off to a flyer.

Mitchell Starc will be itching to play his first IPL game in nine years and that is certainly enough motivation for him to be the best on the night. Starc’s opening spell can set the tone for KKR as he can make the new ball talk and pick early wickets. A good start for the Aussie left-arm pacer will definitely mean that KKR are in a good position in the match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad are entering IPL 2024 with a fresh look as they have replicated their jersey from SA20 tournament. They will also be led by Pat Cummins who won the ODI World Cup for Australia beating hosts India in Ahmedabad in the final. They could only win four matches last year and the Orange Army will be hoping for a better show from the team this time around.
Aiden Markram is one player who can turn the heads with his batting more so with no responsibility of leading the side. He will also be confident having won the SA20 recently as he was also in good form with the bat. Markram scored 261 runs in nine innings at a strike-rate of close to 140 and a good outing for him will be needed for SRH to be competitive.
Top Batter Stats - Recent Matches
Pat Cummins was picked by SRH for 20.75 crore and no wonder he will be expected to perform right away from the team’s season opener. Cummins himself would be eager to lead from the front as he wants the team to play aggressive cricket. He has featured in 42 matches so far in IPL picking up 45 wickets and he wouldn’t mind adding a few more to the tally against KKR.

The aforementioned cricket betting tips will help you in predicting the player of the match winner correctly in this match. Given his sizzling form in the shortest format of the game, Phil Salt can be the man making a match-winning impact and winning the award.
Our toss prediction for the third match of IPL between KKR and SRH is that the team winning the toss will bowl first. This is the first game of this season at the venue and the teams will be hoping to get hold of the conditions first. So whichever team wins the toss will definitely look to bowl first.
The Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host this encounter between KKR and SRH. The pitch here is expected to be decent one for batting and it is expected to be fresh with this being the start of the season. The cricket odds will certainly be in favour of the home team KKR to start with.
Meanwhile, the weather is set to be clear with temperatures hovering around 23 to 28 Degrees Celsius even as dew is expected to play its part.
Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to win this match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and start their campaign on a winning note. KKR have better team combination on paper than SRH and we pick them as the winners for this match.
