IPL 2017, Eliminator | Sunrisers Hyderabad v/s Kolkata Knight Riders: Live commentary and score

Two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will have to break the agonising sequence of debacles when they clash with defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) eliminator in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

For KKR, it would take a significant turnaround to reach the second qualifier after they lost four out of seven matches in the latter half of the season. The Shah Rukh Khan-owned side would like to find their form which saw them dominate the early stages of competition.

Defending champions SRH, on the other hand, won eight games while lost five in their 14 league games to end the league stage at third position with 17 points. The team cemented their play-offs berth on the back of a superb eight-wicket win over Gujarat Lions in their last league match.

Hyderabad will be hoping skipper David Warner continues his imperious form as the explosive opener has registered 600 -plus runs in back-to-back seasons.
