With playoff hopes already dashed, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will meet for one final time this season on Sunday, May 25, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Both teams will be playing for pride in order to finish above the other in the standings. While KKR have a chance to climb as high as fifth with a win, SRH can only go up to seventh.
Though there’s nothing major at stake, both sides will be eager to wrap up their campaigns on a positive note and are likely to bring an aggressive approach to this high-scoring venue.
Pitch Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium has been a haven for batters this season. Short boundaries and flat surfaces have made run-scoring relatively easy, although spinners and bowlers using reverse swing have occasionally found some assistance. A big total could be on the cards once again.
Weather Forecast
There is a slight possibility of rain during the evening, but the forecast still points toward the likelihood of a full game. Temperatures will start around 37°C and are expected to drop slightly to 34°C as the evening progresses.
Head-to-Head
KKR have a strong record against SRH, winning 20 of their 29 encounters. They’ve also taken six of the last eight meetings, including the 2024 final. SRH’s most recent win over KKR came back in 2023.
Match Prediction
SRH come into this contest with some momentum, having won their last two matches. Their batting unit has found rhythm recently, and if they continue that form, they could end their season with a win and two points.
Where to watch
Live coverage will be available on the Star Sports Network, and the match can be streamed on the JioCinema app and website.
