🏏IPL 2025 - Match 68: KKR vs SRH at Delhi @ 7:30pm🏏 - Page 2

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Injuries/Unavailability: No issues have been reported regarding injury or unavailability from the SRH camp.

Tactics and Matchups:

After a slow start, Cummins has rediscovered his mojo. In the last seven games, he has picked 12 wickets at an economy of 7.37. He will hope to land early strikes against the only team without a 50+ opening partnership this season.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Injuries/Unavailability: Rovman Powell and Moeen Ali opted not to come back to India once the season resumed. The former has been replaced by Shivam Shukla.

Tactics and matchups:

Varun and Narine have been particularly excellent as a pair outside the Eden Gardens. As a pair, they have 16 wickets from 5 away fixtures while going at a combined economy of 6.03. SRH won a big battle against RCB's spin twins in their most recent win. Their hopes could hinge on if they can unsettle this KKR duo.

Did you know?

- SRH have won each of the four games they've scored 200 or more and only 1 of the 8 when they've failed to hit 200

- Abhishek Sharma now holds the distinction of being the only batter with successive IPL seasons of scoring 400+ runs at 180+ SR.

Let us hope to see a good match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a similarly underwhelming journey. Positioned eighth on the points table, SRH also failed to make a serious push for qualification. However, under the leadership of Pat Cummins, the team has shown signs of improvement, winning their last two games and finishing the season on a relatively positive note.

The surface at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium is likely to be slow, offering assistance to spinners because of its dry nature and occasional grassy areas. Bowlers who rely on variation and flight could find success here. Additionally, dew is expected to influence the latter half of the match, which might lead the captain winning the toss to choose to bowl first to take advantage of easier chasing conditions. Weather-wise, conditions are expected to remain clear throughout the day, with no forecast of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted game for both teams in this final league clash of IPL 2025.

Recent Match at Arun Jaitley Stadium

The most recent mat at the Arun jaitley Stadium in Delhi was between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings where the Men in Pink came out as comfortable winners in the end, beating MS Dhoni's CSK by 56 runs.

18:29 Local Time, 12:59 GMT, 18:29 IST: How the mighty have fallen! The finalists of the 2024 Indian Premier League are playing in a no consequence mid table muddle this time around to close out their season. Things haven’t really gone to plan for the champions Kolkata, who lost the fulcrum of that winning team in Mitchell Starc, Shreyas Iyer and Phil Salt. They splashed the cash for Venkatesh Iyer but he didn’t quite live up to his price tag. Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have had a regression compared to last season, and the new recruits haven’t necessarily pulled up any trees this season. The one shining spark has been new skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who has been the leading run scorer for his team. Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy have delivered once again, but not quite enough to send KKR through to another playoffs.
