KKR vs SRH Live Update: Match Prediction?? 🥇

Kolkata Knight Riders hold a slight edge over Sunrisers Hyderabad based on in-depth analysis of current form and Eden Gardens performance metrics.

KKR's exceptional spin bowling attack featuring Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy gives them an advantage at Eden Gardens, where the pitch traditionally favors spinners. However, SRH's explosive batting lineup featuring in-form Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head cannot be underestimated if they gain early momentum.

KKR vs SRH Match Update: Pitch & Weather Report! ☁️🌡️

The surface at Eden Gardens in Kolkata generally offers excellent batting conditions. There could be a hint of seam movement and spongy bounce for the fast bowlers early on with the new ball. However, after negotiating the first couple of overs, the batters can capitalize on the track's even pace, bounce and the ground's lightning-fast outfield to score runs.

The temperature at Eden Gardens in Kolkata will be around 36° C, with a real feel of 41°C. Meanwhile, the wind will blow in the South-South/West direction, with varying speeds between 9 to 30 km/h.

KKR vs SRH Scorecard: Fantasy Predictions! 🔮

Quinton de Kock

IPL 2025 Form: 102 Runs 3 Matches

The South African keeper did not have a great start to the tournament. However, in the second game, Quinton de Kock scored 97 runs and looked to be getting a bit of form back. But once again in the match versus Mumbai, he failed to go big. So, his form has blown hot and cold, however, he could be an important pick for the game. 

Travis Head

IPL 2025 Form: 136 Runs in 3 Matches

The Australian opener has been in a good form with the bat. Travis Head has the form and rhythm going and could be one of the most important picks for the fantasy contests of the match.

Heinrich Klaasen

IPL 2025 Form: 92 Runs in 3 Matches

The South African wicketkeeper could be an impactful presence in the middle order of the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting line-up. Heinrich Klaasen can change the complexion of a game with his big-hitting prowess and could be an important choice in the fantasy contests.
