KKR vs SRH 2024, IPL Final Match Today: Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, key players, pitch report and weather update | Ipl News

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL Match Today: Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns with Pat Cummins’ Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final Indian Premier League 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While the former have reached thrashing SRH in Qualifier 1 Pat Cummins’ side took the longer route of beating Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2.KKR has looked apart from the other sides in the tournament filled with power-hitters through the batting order and mystery spinners in the bowling department. SRH on the other hand has been heavily reliant on Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma at the top of the order to make scores however, bowling has a lot more variety.
Playing XI prediction for KKR: Sunil Narine, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy
Impact substitute: Anukul Roy/Nitish Rana
Player to watch out for in KKR Sunil Narine has had a remarkable campaign so far. He has reinvented himself as an opener again this season and also has delivered the goods with the ball. The game between SRH and RR has shown the pitch is assing the spinners hence which makes his role doubly important up at the top to maximise the powerplay for KKR and restrict SRH’s middle order.
Playing XI prediction for SRH: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, T Natarajan
Impact substitute: Shahbaz Ahmed/Umran Malik
Player to watch out for in SRH Heinrich Klassen after starting the tournament has tapered off in the second half. However, after Head and Abhishek, Klassen is the next player who has been able to take the opposition on. KKR has both Chakarvarthy and Narine in there who can pose trouble in middle overs and can countered Klassen if he is on song.

KKR vs SRH pitch report
Unlike the previous game, the soil used for this surface is red which traditionally tends to offer more bounce. Once again the dilemma both captains would have at toss is deciding what to do. If there is no dew the pitch would get increasingly slower and make chasing and if there is dew it might be the other way around.
