I actually think that you have to consider the possibility of dew and also be prepared if it doesn&#8217;t come.

It&#8217;ll give KKR a lot of confidence going into the finals knowing that they&#8217;ve already beaten <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/teams\/sun-risers-hyderabad\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\">SRH<\/a> a couple of days ago,&#8221; Pietersen said.<br \/>&#8220;So it&#8217;s going to be really hard for the Sunrisers to get up, but I think they will because they won the SA20, so they know how to win. They&#8217;ve got a structure that knows how to win, and when you&#8217;ve got that belief within the franchise, that belief within the ownership, then momentum has its own
