Hyderabad: In the 18th match of Champions League T20 (CLT20), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face Dolphins (DOL) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal.
Live cricket score is coming soon.
The result of the match does not make any difference to either side. While KKR already through to the semifinals, Dolphins are out of contention for the final four spot.
However, the Gautam Gambhir-led KKR will be eager to maintain their hundred per cent record in the ongoing CLT20. While the defending IPL champions are unlikely to make too many changes to their playing XI, it would not be too surprising if they make a few either.
For Dolphins, their CLT20 campaign was disappointing to say the least. They have lost all three games they have played so far. The consolation can be achieved though if they leave the Indian shores with a win.
Key players:
Kyle Abbott: The South African pacer was expected to lead Dolphins’ bowling attack from the front. However, Abbott could not manage to do that. He, however, will be more than happy to win some brownie points by troubling KKR batsmen.
Robin Uthappa: The right-hander has had good starts in two games he played so far. He would be itching to score a big one. And considering Dolphins have not done anything praiseworthy, he could cash in against the South African side.
Squads:
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gautam Gambhir (captain), Piyush Chawla, Robin Uthappa, Yusuf Pathan, Jacques Kallis, Morne Morkel, R Vinay Kumar, Ryan ten Doeschate, Manish Pandey, Manvinder Bisla (wicketkeeper), Unesh Yadav, Sunil Narine, Suryakumar Yadav, Andre Russell, Patrick Cummins, Kuldeep Yadav.
Dolphins: Morne van Wyk(captain & wicketkeeper), Cameron Delport, Cody Chetty, Keshav Maharaj, Jonathan Vandiar, Khayelihle Zondo, Vaughn van Jaarsveld, Robert Frylinck, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kyle Abbott, Prenelan Subrayen, Daryn Smit, Daryn Miles Dupavillon, Craig Alexander, Sibonelo Makhanya.
