Kolkata Knight Riders were defeated with ease by the Sunrisers Hyderabad team on Saturday night at the Eden Gardens. On the same day, Delhi Daredevils came out strong against the home team Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede stadium to chase down 194. DD will now arrive at the Eden Gardens to breach the fortress of Kolkata Knight Riders.
Both the teams come into the match with a similar track record on their name. Both have won one and lost two so far. Both lost their matches which were intervened by rain. Now the two teams are facing off each other, it will be interesting to see who comes out on the top. Here are five things to look out for
Jason Roy at the top spot
Yesterday Delhi Daredevils opener Jason Roy played a match-winning innings as DD registered its maiden victory in this season. Brought into the playing eleven in place of Colin Munro, Roy grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Opening the batting with Gautam Gambhir, both of them got their team off to a good start as they scored 11 runs in the first over which was bowled by Hardik Pandya.
Throwing the kitchen sink at the Mumbai bowling, Roy completed his half-century off 27 balls. It was his maiden half-century (in his fourth match) in the IPL. Daredevils required 11 runs to win from the last over. Against Mustafizur Rahman, Roy hit the first two balls for a four and a six respectively. When Rahman bowled a trio of dot deliveries, not for a moment did Roy appeared baffled. He held his nerve and scored the winning runs on the last ball of the match.
