IPL 2023 weather update: Hyderabad weather report on May 4 for today's SRH vs KKR clash
Fans can expect several rain breaks when SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) square off against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday, May 4.
Both teams are languishing in the bottom half of the IPL 2023 points table and will hope to win the match and move up the standings. While KKR are placed eighth with three wins from nine matches, SRH find themselves one spot below their opponents.
The Knight Riders are coming into this contest on the back of a defeat against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at Eden Gardens. They failed to defend 179 runs as Gujarat cruised home with 13 balls to spare and seven wickets in hand.
KKR will have to play out of their skins against the SunRisers to keep themselves in the hunt for a top-four finish.
SRH, on the other hand, will be high on confidence after beating the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last game. They successfully defended 197 runs, thanks to another clinical bowling performance by Mayank Markande.
Aiden Markram and Co. will look to continue their winning run and be in the running for a playoff berth.
