IPL 2025: Match 68, KKR vs SRH Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between KKR vs SRH?

Overview

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are all set to take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match No. 68 of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, May 25. Notably, this is a dead rubber and the last league game for both teams.

The 18th season was far from ideal for the previous finalists. KKR, with five wins and six losses in 13 games, had a chance to make it to the top four but never found momentum from the beginning. With a revamped squad this season, they failed to defend their title. 

Meanwhile, SRH also has had a similar story to tell as they hold the eighth position in the points tally. After a slow start, the Pat Cummins-led team have found rhythm in the last few games and are coming off two consecutive wins. 

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to be on the slower side, helping spinners due to its dry surface and patches of grass. Dew is likely to play a key role later in the evening, prompting the toss-winning captain to opt for bowling first. Meanwhile, there is no prediction of rain in Delhi on the match day.

Probable Best Batter of the Match

Travis Head could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Kolkata Knight Riders. With 298 runs in his 12 games, Head might not have had the best of seasons, but he can take the game away from the opposition on any given day. The southpaw will look to make the most of the powerplay and capitalize on the batting conditions in Delhi. 

Probable Best Bowler of the Match

Varun Chakravarthy could be the best bowler in the upcoming game. With 17 wickets in his last 12 matches, the spinner is currently KKR’s highest-wicket taker this season. His mystery bowling is expected to bamboozle the SRH batters. Notably, he has picked 14 wickets in 12 matches against the Hyderabad-based franchise.
