Speaking of KKR, their middle-order woes cost them many games this season. However, they registered a comfortable six-wicket win in their last outing against Punjab Kings and would have gained a lot of confidence. Other than that, their top order and bowlers have done quite a decent job. However, they will play in Ahmedabad for the first time this season, and it would be interesting to see how they adapt to the new conditions.
