IPL 2022: Sunrisers win toss, elect to bowl first against Knight Riders

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 25 of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium here on Friday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Kane Williamson said the dew factor was the main reason for choosing to bowl first.

“Pretty good wicket but dew factor to consider,” he said

SRH made one change to the squad that beat Gujarat Titans by eight wickets on April 11, with Jagadeesha Suchith replacing Washington Sundar in the XI.

KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer said he was happy to bat first. They made three changes, bringing in Aaron Finch, Aman Khan, and Sheldon Jackson for Sam Billings, Ajinkya Rahane, and Rasikh Salam.
