Duration of Innings Break in ODI, Test, I.P.L. and T20
Kolkata will face Hyderabad in the Qualifier 1 match of the Indian T20 League on May 21, 2024, at N. Modi Stadium. Kolkata, after spending the majority of the season on top of the table, hasn’t played their last two games due to rain. Consequently, Kolkata hasn’t played a game since May 11. This will be their first match in the span of 10 days—a certainly long break. Meanwhile, Hyderabad is in fine form after chasing down 214 in their last game against Punjab.
Kolkata, with 20 points from 14 matches in the Indian T20 League 2024, remains at the top, while Hyderabad jumped one position up after securing a win against Punjab in their last match to face Kolkata in Qualifier 1. Both teams’ players are in supreme touch—one team with the bat and the other with the ball. Hyderabad excels with the bat, with three of their players in the top 20 list of the O. Cap, including T. Head, A. Sharma, and H. Klassen. On the other hand, four of Kolkata’s bowlers are in the top 20 list of the Purple Cap, including V. Chakaravarthy, H. Rana, S. Narine, and A.Russell. Let’s look at some key stats for both teams, including fantasy picks and who is most likely to secure a place in the final.

Toss can play a major factor in the match, as we have seen in the last 2 matches at this stadium where teams batting first scored over 200. Both teams have strong openers who can exploit the bowlers, including big names like T. Head, A. Sharma, and S. Narine. Hyderabad’s openers have a strike rate of more than 200, with S. Narine having a strike rate of 182.
Hyderabad has won 80% of their matches when any of their openers have scored a half-century. If Kolkata can break the partnership of A. Sharma and T. Head early, their chances of winning increase significantly. Kolkata has recently won games where S. Narine didn’t perform well, and V. Iyer is in fine form.
Google suggests a 50-50 chance for this match. However, Kolkata looks like a more balanced side, whereas Hyderabad heavily relies on their openers. However, this data might surprise you: in the last 4 games that Hyderabad lost, neither A. Sharma nor T. Head scored a fifty. So, Kolkata is likely to go through as they appear to be the more balanced team.
