The two sides haven't been impressive in IPL 2020. What is lacking from them is consistency.
Batting wise, both teams are not up to the mark and players need to respond.
KKR, in particular, have struggled big time in their previous two games.
SRH have a better bowling shape and that's what could make the difference here.
Warned-led SRH is eying a fourth win.
