Hello and welcome to Match 8 of IPL 2020 - between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Both teams, having played only one game each so far in the competition, have been winless this season. One of them is bound to get off the mark tonight. The question is who is it going to be?

Sunrisers Hyderabad have a few injury concerns to deal with. Mitchell Marsh, after getting injured in the first game, has been replaced by Jason Holder. Meanwhile, Kane Williamson has strained his quad muscles and is unlikely to play today. After having thrown away a winning position in the first game, it remains to be seen what XI they field today.

KKR, on the other hand, were dominated by Mumbai Indians in their opening encounter with their big buy - Pat Cummins - having an off day. Will they persist with him or will they not? A lot of questions will be answered shortly at the toss. Stay tuned as we will bring all the live updates from the contest in Abu Dhabi.
