As IPL-15 enters its business, every game becomes crucial. One such game will be played at the MCA Stadium here on Saturday between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, where a win is almost a must, while a loss could mean a decisive blow to the chances of making it to the play-offs.

KKR, with 10 points from 12 games, need a win more desperately that SRH, who have a game in hand over them. A loss will put KKR out of the play-ff race. SRH, with 10 points from 11 games, also need a win to keep alive their hopes of making the play-offs. However, a loss for Kane Williamson’s side won’t put them out of the race, at least mathematically.
