After securing only one victory in their first three matches, both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad find themselves at the bottom of the standings in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The two teams, which faced off in the finals last season, will aim to recover when they meet on Thursday in Kolkata.

Sunrisers Hyderabad will be eager to break their two-match losing streak. They began the season with a remarkable performance at home, scoring a record 286 for six against Rajasthan Royals, highlighted by a century from Ishan Kishan. However, they have since faced difficulties, suffering defeats against Lucknow and Delhi Capitals.

Conversely, Kolkata Knight Riders lost their opening match at home to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Although they managed to secure a win against Rajasthan in Guwahati in their second game, their batting lineup faltered dramatically at Wankhede on Monday, where they were bowled out for a mere 116 runs in 16.2 overs, ultimately losing by eight wickets.

In their historical matchups, KKR has the advantage, having won 19 out of 28 encounters in the IPL, including all three meetings last season.
