The Indian Premier League will continue with a double-header on Saturday, as defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Kolkata Knight Riders before Delhi Daredevils face Kings XI Punjab.Kolkata, Hyderabad and Punjab have all taken two wins from their first three matches so far and are expected to push for a play-off spot. With Delhi just two points behind the trio in the standings, Saturday's fixtures could have a major impact on the play-off race and will shake up the standings.Here's a look at the schedule for the upcoming IPL fixtures:All matches can be streamed live via Sky Go (UK) or Willow TV (U.S.). Both of Saturday's matches will be broadcast on Sky Sports 2.Sunrisers started the season with two convincing wins before a shock loss against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday, with their opponents cruising to a four-wicket win.At Eden Gardens, they'll face a confident-looking Kolkata team who also lost against Mumbai earlier in the tournament but have looked otherwise dominant in their wins. Gautam Gambhir has shown his tactical nous on multiple occasions already, and the decision to open the batting with Sunil Narine against Punjab on Thursday was perhaps his best.As shared by Cricbuzz, the West Indies star put together a sterling performance:For years, Kolkata have been known for their spectacular bowling, but the team's versatile group of batsmen have stolen the show so far this season. They haven't been forced to dig deep into the lineup, losing just two combined wickets in their wins.Sunrisers have never beaten Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, but the lack of form star bowler Trent Boult has shown so far is a good omen for the defending champions. If Moises Henriques returns from illness, Hyderabad should have the batting prowess to take advantage of a group of bowlers that looks a little more shaky than fans have gotten used to.Narine has been in great form, however, and coach Tom Moody is well aware, per the team's official Twitter account:In Saturday's other match, in-form Sanju Samson and his Delhi team-mates will be boosted by the return of Shreyas Iyer, who missed the team's first two matches. Delhi will play their first home match of this year's IPL and will be high on confidence after their brutal win over Pune.Daredevils scored over 200 runs and bowled their opponents out for 108, incredible figures that are rare in the IPL. Punjab should provide a better challenge, although Delhi remain the favouites.
