KKR vs SRH, IPL 2025 Live Score: Sunrisers Seek Revenge Against Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR vs SRH, IPL 2025 Live Score: Kolkata Knight Riders will play Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2025 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 3 (Thursday). The clash will be big, since this is a repeat of the final of IPL 2024, where KKR had a clear victory over SRH to win their third title. Rajesh Mandal said they had a rough start, but let me introduce SRH and KKR at the back end of the table as they go on to play their third games by winning one and losing two. Hence they would both aim to have a win that would create momentum back to a failing campaign.

The IPL 2025 champions will feature Kolkata Knight Riders, who started their campaign with a home loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 7 wickets. Their next encounter was a tremendous victory at the hands of Rajasthan Royals, where they triumphed by 8 wickets. However, their third match was a complete and total wipe-out at the hands of Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets.

Sunrisers Hyderabad also started the IPL 2025 with a huge win over the Rajasthan Royals, followed by two back-to-back losses against the Lucknow Super Giants and the Delhi Capitals, respectively.

TOSS: The first fielding goes to SRH, who won the toss.

Pitch Report:

Eden Gardens has remained an absolute batter's paradise since the onset of time due to the traditional nature of this surface. The Kolkata pitch has tended to be on the flatter side with even bounce and good stroke play, helping fast bowlers only marginally early on with extra bounce. In their last outing, both KKR and RCB went past the 170-run mark and hence met at this ground.
