Pat Cummins gained the essential toss as Sunrisers Hyderabad gained the essential toss towards Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 remaining in Chennai on Sunday, May 26. KKR fielded the identical taking part in eleven that beat SRH in the primary Qualifier with Nitish Rana lacking out once more.
Despite batting first, Pat Cummins-led SRH named in-form spin all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed in their taking part in eleven with Abdul Samad settling for the impression substitutes listing. Samad is having fun with a great season in 2024 with 178 runs at a strike fee of 171.15 and would possibly come to bat if the Sunrisers witness an early collapse.
“Looks like a good wicket, never good at reading wickets,” Pat Cummins mentioned after successful the toss. “But this looks fine. There was no dew the other night, doesn’t seem there will be today, but who knows. We are playing a particular style, won’t work every time but when it does, it will be damaging. Good to be back here. It is a different soil, but you are asking the wrong bloke. Shahbaz comes in for Samad.”
