Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to face in 68th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The clash will take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday.
SRH comes into the contest on the back of a strong win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). After a poor showing following their record-breaking first game, the team is eager to regain consistency. Led by Pat Cummins, SRH have struggled to perform in crucial moments but showed promise in their recent victory. With experience and talent in the squad, they look to build on this positive momentum. A good performance in the upcoming match is important to boost their confidence for next season.
KKR, on the other hand, have had a season filled with inconsistency. Despite having a strong squad on paper, their performances have fallen short. The batting unit has struggled to deliver impactful scores, often collapsing under pressure, while the bowling attack has lacked penetration and control.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report:
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is known for its dry surface that tends to assist spinners as the game progresses. Early on, batters can enjoy the pace and true bounce making strokeplay easier, especially under lights. However, as the match wears on, the pitch tends to slow down offering grip and turn for spinners. Short boundaries at both ends make it a high-scoring venue, but bowlers who vary their pace can find success. Dew often plays a factor in evening games making chasing slightly easier. Overall, it’s a balanced pitch that offers something for both batters and bowlers.
