The pitch doesn’t seem to be a 180 track, the batters will have to wait for loose deliveries. KKR should aim to score at least 160 runs on the board which would give them some sort of chance. It won’t be a bad idea to use Andre Russell in the middle order, he can rattle the opponent with his stroke play.
