KKR have the edge over SRH with a 19-9 win-loss record. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the two finalists from IPL 2024, find themselves in unfamiliar territory as they prepare to face off for the first time in IPL 2025.

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders secured a comfortable 80-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, who slipped to the bottom of the Indian Premier League (IPL) table. Set a target of 201, Sunrisers' powerful but inconsistent top order failed as they slipped to 9-3 and 66-5 before being bowled out for 120 in 16.4 overs.
