Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face off in their final match of the Indian Premier League season tonight at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
With both teams already out of the playoff race, the result will not affect the standings but offers an opportunity to close the campaign with a win and assess plans for next year.
KKR and SRH last met in the final of the 2024 IPL, where Shreyas Iyer's KKR dominated Pat Cummins-led SRH. This time, the match carries little at stake except bragging rights and a potential sixth-place finish. While SRH enters the game on the back of a 42-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, KKR has not played since May 7 and had their match against RCB washed out.
SRH vs KKR: Head-to-Head
In their IPL rivalry, Kolkata Knight Riders have had the upper hand against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Out of the 29 matches played between the two sides, KKR have won 20, while SRH have managed to win 9.
