Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders have found themselves in a bit of precarious situation with failure to advance in the points table.

In terms of their head to head record, the two franchises have played each other 16 times with Kolkata registering 10 wins and Hyderabad coming away with 6 victories. Let us quickly look at how their last five games finished. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live Cricket Score 38th T20 Match.
