Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Both teams preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Last year’s finalists, SRH, started their IPL 2025 journey with a big win against the Rajasthan Royals, which gave the fans a lot of hope. But things quickly turned as SRH went on to lose matches back-to-back, including tough games against LSG, KKR, and Gujarat. Despite the setbacks, the team bounced back in the latter half of the season, securing wins against Punjab Kings, Chennai Super Kings, and Royal Challengers, though by then they were already out of the playoff race. Heading into their final game against KKR, SRH will be aiming to finish strong and also take revenge for the heavy 80-run loss earlier in the tournament.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Their 80-run win against SRH was one of the best performances of their season. It was more of a season of struggles for defending champions, where they struggled with consistency, rain, and even lost a few close matches against LSG and CSK. Despite having some great performances this season, they couldn’t keep up the momentum needed to reach the playoffs.
