SRH vs KKR, IPL 2025: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, pitch report and more

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 68th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on May 25 (Sunday). The match will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Pat Cummins-led SRH who have been eliminated from the Playoffs, will want to end their 2025 IPL campaign on a high note by winning the final game. In their previous two matches, they beat Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

On the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane's KKR were inconsistent this season, and failed to qualify for the top four after a rain-abandoned game. The defending champions will also want to clinch victory and carry the momentum to next season.
