SRH vs KKR Probable Winners:

This will be Sunrisers Hyderabad's and Kolkata Knight Riders' final games in the 2025 IPL, and both teams will want to finish strong. However, SRH appears to be in a better position right now. They've won two straight since the break and are beginning to resemble the dominant team from 2024, which used to blow teams away through its explosive batting. That kind of gap can make it difficult to find rhythm, and with SRH looking trusting and in sync, they will have the advantage heading into this match. Considering the team combination, Kolkata Knight Riders is expected to win this match.
