Qualifier 1 of IPL 2024 is between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). KKR has had a good season, but their last two games were washed out by rain, so they want to get back in form. SRH got into this game by beating the Punjab Kings.
KKR usually does well against SRH, winning three of the last four games. They've only lost three games this season, so they seem strong. But SRH has had trouble with their bowling, which could be a problem. This game will be interesting because both teams really want to win and move to the final.
Shreyas Iyer’s team has been the season's surprise package, finishing at the top of the points table with consistent performances. Their batting lineup has been solid, and the bowling attack has improved in recent games. They previously defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Iyer wants his team to draw inspiration from that win.
Alongside Sunil Narine, Rahmanullah Gurbaz—who has taken Philip Salt's place—will try to start quickly. With Venkatesh Iyer's and Rinku Singh's help, Shreyas Iyer will lead the middle order during the innings. Anukul Roy, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh support the batting order.
The Sunrisers' batsmen are playing quite well, therefore the bowlers will have a difficult task. To give the opposition problems, Vaibhav Arora and Mitchell Starc must perform well with the new ball. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy, both in good form, will be crucial in the middle overs. Harshit Rana, Russell, and Roy add depth to the bowling attack.
Kolkata Knight Riders - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Sunil Narine has been in tremendous form at the top of the order. Opponents do not seem to have an answer to this man’s hitting abilities. With 461 runs already win just 12 innings at a strike rate of above 180, Sunil Narine is definitely a contender for best batter for KKR.

Top Bowler Stats - Recent Matches
After a tough 2023, Pat Cummins' side has bounced back with consistent performances. Their batting lineup has redefined batting in IPL 2024. They lost to KKR in the earlier encounter, but the win against PBKS while chase should give them enough confidence to trump KKR in the 1st qualifier.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have combined to score over 1000 runs this season. The reliable middle order, featuring Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, and a decent lower-order Shahbaz Ahmed, Sanvir Singh, and Abdul Samad strengthens the batting lineup for SRH.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Cummins are leading the bowling attack, but the rest of the bowlers need to improve. T Natarajan, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, and Shahbaz Ahmed should aim for consistency. SRH has no chance of beating the formidable KKR unless they bowl well.
With over 500 runs in IPL 2024 and averaging over 50 in the last 10 matches. Travis Head is well-placed to be the best batter for SRH. He has been striking at over 200 this season and is crucial for SRH at the top of the order.

T Natarajan has been the top bowler for SRH this season. He has picked up 17 wickets so far at an economy of 9.25. Despite being a bit expensive, Natarajan has picked up wickets consistently. His best performance is 4 for 19 against Delhi Capitals.

There are some really powerful performers playing this match. But, none is more powerful than Sunil Narine. He has been the most impactful player this season with 461 runs and 15 wickets. He has been a match-winner for KKR and could well go on to win the Player of the Match award to help KKR book a spot in the finals.
KKR do well after winning the toss. In 251 matches in the IPL since 2008, KKR have a toss advantage of above 8% compared to SRH, who have not done so well after winning the toss but have a disadvantage of about 8%. Head to head, nothing separates these teams when it comes to Toss.
The match will be held at the biggest cricket stadium in the world at Ahmedabad. The stadium has about 130K seating capacity. Unlike other venues, this has not been a high-scoring ground. Home team GT have been bundled out for 89 in their match against DC. The weather in Ahmedabad will be very hot with plenty of sunshine with temperatures around 43C.
Both KKR and SRH have had an unbelievable season so far. KKR has lost just three games, compared to SRH's five losses. In the head-to-head record as well, KKR is a better side. With all departments clicking well collectively, we predict KKR would defeat SRH.
