Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Prediction, Pitch Report, Playing Xl
Preview: KKR and SRH, last season's finalists, now meet in a low-stakes clash to cap off a disappointing IPL 2025 campaign for both sides. SRH started strong but fizzled out as their high-risk batting faltered and the bowling lacked cutting edge, while KKR's season was marked by batting inconsistency despite their dominant spin duo of Narine and Chakaravarthy. With pride on the line, both teams will look to experiment and end their campaigns on a positive note, even as they reflect on what could have been.
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Date & Time: May 25, 07:30 PM LOCAL
Pitch & weather Report: The wicket at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known for its batting-friendly nature, especially in the first half of the game. The average score here has been 199, while the average first-innings score is 215. The pacers might get some help going in the second innings, so the toss-winning skipper will aim to bat first and post a tough total to chase down for the opponent.
SRH Probable XI: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Reddy, Abhinav Manohar, Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins(c), Harsh Dubey, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga.
