In this blog, we provide a complete review of the match predictions, where to watch the match, key players to look out for, and a glimpse into the forthcoming matches in IPL 2025.

Match Preview: KKR vs SRH

Team Form and Performance So Far

Both KKR and SRH have had a rollercoaster of a ride in IPL 2025, at least so far. Both the franchises have had their moments of brilliance combined with inconsistency.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): They won two out of their first four matches, with heading-to-heading and sometimes very disjointed batting orders. Shreyas Iyer is back to his form, while two more explosive players are Andre Russell and Rinku Singh, thus strong in the middle order. The only thing is the opening partnership has been shaky, and the bowling department is somehow dangling with spinners such as Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): little brighter for them in this edition hasn’t been so successful as far as its competition in the last three matches is concerned. Their batting during the power plays has been feeble, and their main architects in impact-building overs against opposing sides depended mainly on overseas pacers like Cummins and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The performance of the middle-order batsmen Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen will be key to their fortunes.


Head-to-Head Record

Very good, KKR and SRH battle it out for the first time in the history of IPL 25 matches. The team from Kolkata leads this rivalry with 15 victories, whereas Sunrisers Hyderabad has managed to win only 10 matches. The Eden Gardens surface is a true spin-friendly surface; KKR could have that as an additional advantage.

Last season, Sunrisers Hyderabad upset the apple cart by beating KKR at Eden Gardens with the help of some very good performance from their bowlers; however, KKR’s mind will be revenge this time.

Key Players to Watch Out For

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Shreyas Iyer (Captain) – The primary batter for KKR, his innings-building ability is an absolute necessity.
Andre Russell: The explosive match-winner with bat and ball transforms his team into a formidable force at times.
Sunil Narine: The experienced spinner is in good form and would like to harm SRH’s batting unit.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Heinrich Klaasen – Amongst the most dangerous middle-order batsmen in the IPL.
Pat Cummins – The leadership and lethal bowling from the Australian pacer will be invaluable for SRH.
Rahul Tripathi – A former KKR player who would love to prove himself against his old team.SRH vs KKR highlights

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Eden Gardens pitch is historically known to support spinners that invoke an intriguing contest between KKR’s spin department and SRH’s batting. This ground again sears with the average first innings score in IPL matches being between 175-180 runs.

The weather is humid in Kolkata, with the temperature expected to be around 30 degrees at the time of the match. Dew will be an important factor in the second spell and would benefit the chasing team.

 

Match Prediction

Considering the form of both teams and the conditions at Eden Gardens, KKR is slightly favorite because of the dominance of its greasy spin-bowlers and a well-rounded batting lineup. But if the top-order of SRH fires, and they can severely restrict KKR’s batting line-up, they may have a decision for an upset.

Prediction: Kolkata Knight Riders have high chances of winning if they bat first and set a target of 180+. If SRH bowls first and restricts KKR, they have a solid opportunity to chase it down successfully.
