Match Overview
At Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 3, 2025, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Last year’s final played between KKR and SRH resulted in KKR’s decisive victory with an eight-wicket triumph. The current season has been tough on both cricket teams who strive to move out of the lower positions in the table.
At the beginning of the season KKR suffered defeat after Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat them by seven wickets. The team achieved a comeback victory against Rajasthan Royals through Quinton de Kock’s successful batting performance. The batting lineup of KKR demonstrated their weakness when they scored only 116 runs during their match against Mumbai Indians.
SRH achieved their first victory of the season by hitting a record-breaking 286 runs in their toss against Rajasthan Royals to secure a 44-run victory. Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad thus putting them in a difficult IPL position. This match between the two motivated teams will be an exciting spectacle to watch.

After the ball ages spinners can thrive in the batting-friendly pitch even though pacers experience early fast movement in the beginning.
