They must win both of their remaining matches by large margins and still hope other results fall in their favor. Scotland vs United Arab Emirates TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SRH vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis Match 60 of IPL 2025 has Sunrisers Hyderabad hosting Kolkata Knight Riders this Saturday at Uppal Stadium. With only 7 points from 11 games, SRH are out of playoff contention. They’ll now be playing to save face and try to end the season on a positive note. KKR, on the other hand, have won just 5 of their 12 matches and haven’t managed to string together consistent performances. That said, they’ve had the upper hand over SRH in recent seasons and will carry that edge into this clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad are officially out of the tournament, and it sums up their season—disappointing. Their last match against Delhi Capitals was called off due to rain, which hurt even more because they finally got things right with the ball. They kept DC down to 133-7, a rare strong showing, but never got a chance to chase it. Most of SRH’s wins have come when the top order got going early. But once they lose early wickets, it’s usually downhill from there. A solid start is non-negotiable, and that puts pressure on Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head to deliver. Abhishek has had his moments—like that belligerent 141 off 88 against Punjab and the 74 off 41 against GT—but Head has struggled badly, and that’s set them back. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar follow next. None have strung together big scores consistently, but they’ve each had flashes where they looked capable of turning a game. Just one decent innings from any of them could flip the script here. Aniket Verma has been one of the few who’s held up his end. With a strike rate of 154, he’s been dependable at the back end and knows how to close. The bowling finally clicked last game. Pat Cummins led from the front with a superb 3-19, and Harshal Patel chipped in during the middle overs, as he has throughout the tournament, using his variations smartly to pick up wickets. Zeeshan Ansari and Jaydev Unadkat have chipped in with 13 wickets between them and have managed to keep things fairly tight in the middle phase. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders, the reigning champions, haven’t had the smoothest season—just five wins and six losses from their 12 matches, placing them sixth on the table. With only two games left and a net run rate of 0.193, they’ll need to win both convincingly and hope other match results work in their favor to stay in playoff contention. KKR’s batting lineup has been inconsistent. Ajinkya Rahane has been the one steady presence topping the batting charts with 375 runs in 11 innings, while others have struggled to put together a strong run. Quinton de Kock made way for Rahmanullah Gurbaz, but the Afghan hasn’t made much of an impact yet. Sunil Narine has had his moments at the top, though his scores have fluctuated. That said, he’s always capable of a quick 20 or 30. Andre Russell, meanwhile, has found some momentum again with two strong finishes in the last two matches: 38 off 21 and an unbeaten 57 from 25. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been another bright spot, putting up 286 runs in 10 innings at an average of 35.75 and a strike rate of 145.17. With Venkatesh Iyer sidelined due to injury in the last match, Manish Pandey was brought in and responded with a composed 36* off 28 balls. He’s likely to keep his spot in the lineup. KKR’s bowling has held up reasonably well. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora have done a good job up front, sharing 31 wickets, though they tend to go for runs later in the innings. Varun Chakaravarthy, Narine, and Moeen Ali have kept things under control in the middle overs, and their 12 combined overs could again make a difference. Russell’s also chipped in with some tight overs at the death and has picked up wickets at important times. Weather Conditions The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium usually leans towards high-scoring games, but some of the pitches used in IPL 2025 have thrown in a few surprises. Pitch number two is still behaving the way most expect—flat, good pace, and plenty of runs in it. That said, if they pick one of the other strips, like the one used in the last game here, things tighten up. The surface tends to grip more, especially during the middle overs, and batting can get a bit tricky. As for the weather, Hyderabad will be warm and muggy. There’s nothing in the forecast that suggests rain, so the match should go ahead without any interruptions. SRH vs KKR Pitch Report If this match is played on pitch number two, expect a high-scoring slugfest. Both teams will be eyeing totals well over 220. That surface has been used twice already this season—first, Sunrisers Hyderabad hammered 286-6 batting first and sealed a 44-run win. Then they chased down 246 with nine balls to spare. But if the game shifts to the slower track we saw last time, things change fast. Runs won’t come easy, and anything close to 180 could end up being more than enough. Toss: To Bowl Four of the five completed games played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in IPL 2025 have been won by the chasing side, clearly indicating that fielding first is the better option here.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 07,Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 KKR look to keep their playoff hopes alive Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. KKR vs CSK Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders secured a narrow 1-run win over Rajasthan Royals in their last outing at home. There are a lot of lessons to learn from that match for the home team in terms of their bowling performance. Chennai Super Kings are struggling to even come closer to a win. This presents a great opportunity for KKR to add 2 more points to their tally and move ahead in the points table. MS Dhoni would be happy with his team’s recent performance against RCB. It was a much stronger batting performance and CSK came very close to a win. The way MSD and Jadeja were going about things in the 19th Over it looked like CSK will end up on the winning side. However, when it comes to the bowling department, both teams have a lot to improve. They have been very expensive and have lacked game-changing spells from their key bowlers. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders must be hopeful of making it to the playoffs. It is not an easy way ahead for the Knight Riders as they not only need to win every game while maintaining a good NRR but would also be dependent on other results. The race to the top 4 is getting much tougher by the day. Ajinkya Rahane will back his players to carry their winning momentum into this game. After a few hiccups at the home venue, KKR are back to winning ways. They are yet to master their bowling performances, but the batters have raised hopes. Andre Russell’s fifty in the last match was a glimpse into what he’s capable of and has delivered for the franchise over the years. Rinku Singh is another great finisher in the lineup. If Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi can set a good platform with a solid partnership in the middle, these two finishers can propel the Knight Riders to a big total. Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana have been expensive for KKR. The pace bowling duo is the face of KKR’s bowling attack and will continue to lead them for many years. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy will be crucial in the spin-bowling department. Chennai Super Kings Preview Chennai Super Kings’ losing run in IPL 2025 continues. They should have won the last match against RCB with two legends of the game at the crease and not a very big ask in the last over. The time has come for CSK to realize that they need to look for new match-winners in the squad and go about restructuring. MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja can no longer pull off the wins they once did. Ayush Mhatre’s 94 off 48 balls put the Super Kings in the driver’s seat in the run-chase. The 17-year-old batsman was playing only his 4th IPL game as he missed a hundred by just 6 runs. Shaik Rasheed and Mahtre could be Chennai’s next generation of big-hitting top-order batters. There is great potential in these two. Ravindra Jadeja played a highly impactful knock after quite a long time. He will be one to watch out for in this match, along with Sam Curran. The two all-rounders are in fine rhythm and can take the struggling and inconsistent KKR bowlers to the cleaners. In the lower middle order, the likes of Shivam Dube and Dewald Brewis can put on a fine performance to end the innings on a high. There has been a lot of experimentation in this batting order in the last few games. Khaleel Ahmed hasn’t been consistent with his economy or wickets. He needs support from Anshul Kamboj and Matheesha Pathirana in the pace department. It is not going to be an easy outing for CSK bowlers either. Weather Conditions There would be thundershowers in Kolkata on the match day. However, by the time of the match, it would be mostly cloudy with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. The weather should not affect the outcome of this match, and we expect to have a result. KKR vs CSK Pitch Report  looks like a fine batting track at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. RR bounced back after losing half of the side for under 100 runs in the last game. There is plenty of help for the batters on this wicket. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches here is 209 runs. Teams batting first have reached the 200-run mark on this ground in 4 of the last 5 matches. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 4 of the 5 IPL matches played at this venue in 2025. Though it was a very narrow win for KKR in the last outing, we would still back the team batting first on this ground, considering the inconsistencies and unpredictability in both lineups. Having runs on the board would give the team a huge advantage in this contest.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 04, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Can KKR turn things around at home? Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. KKR vs RR Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Rajasthan Royals at their home venue in search of a way back in the race to the playoffs. The hosts have been inconsistent at this venue. Their batting hasn’t been reliable this season. Most of their key batsmen have failed to deliver. Rajasthan Royals, a promising side that made it to the Finals a few seasons ago, has had a disappointing season. There were a few games that the Royals lost by a tiny margin, including one in the super over. Samson’s injury has also affected the overall team balance. With just 3 wins from 11 games, the Royals are out of the race for the playoffs. After a convincing win at home against the Titans, the Royals’ batting collapsed in the next game, in a similar run-chase. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Sunil Narine and Anukul Roy led KKR to a 14-run win against the mighty Capitals in their last outing at an away venue. The spinners were exceptional in delivering consistent breakthroughs while defending 204 runs. KKR need their top-order to step up and deliver big in this game. They’ve got a deep lineup with big hitters like Rinku Singh and Andre Russell in the lower order. However, without a good start, the finishers won’t have much to build on. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine open the innings for the Knight Riders. Both of them have an attacking approach to their batting. On their best day, they can make a huge impact in the power play. While the decision to replace Quinton de Kock with Gurbaz doesn’t sit well with experts and analysts, the latter isn’t a bad option for the opening position. Ajinkya Rahane holds the key to a big score. He will be crucial in striking partnerships at number 3 in this batting order. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has shown great promise this year in the middle-order, but we believe he’s better suited at the top of the order. The young gun needs more freedom to play his shots, which he would find in the opener’s role. Harshit Rana, one of the best bowlers for KKR last season, hasn’t been in good form this year. Vaibhav Arora is another key wicket-taker for the hosts. Sunil Narine will be one to watch out for, along with the experienced Andre Russell, who’s got the ability to deliver crucial breakthroughs. Rajasthan Royals Preview Rajasthan Royals were off to a losing start this season. They secured back-to-back wins soon after, but their performances were always inconsistent. RR secured a win in their 4th match, and since then, they managed to win just 1 of their 7 games. In the early stages, they looked very promising, and in the middle, there were some pretty close finishes in which they ended on the losing side. Had those 3 close encounters turned out in RR’s favor, they would have been in the top 5 by now. Samson has been out of the XI with injury, and Riyan Parag is leading the side. Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s hundred broke all records as RR clinched their 3rd win of the season. However, in a similar situation at the same ground in the very next match, the Royals lost both openers early in the run chase. A collapse from there on resulted in a 100-run loss for the Royals, and they were eventually eliminated from the race to the playoffs. Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel are the key middle-order batters responsible for building partnerships and taking the score beyond par. Rana’s been struggling to find his rhythm while Parag has been quite good. Parag and Jurel will be crucial for the Royals in this game and are expected to lead the batting effort in the middle order. Shimron Hetmyer is the finisher for RR and needs to come good for the team. Jofra Archer, Fazhalhaq Farooqi, and Akash Madhwal are all quality bowlers in the pace attack for the Royals. In addition, M Theekshana will be the key spinner for the side. The lack of form and consistency from the bowlers is a major concern for RR going into this match. Weather Conditions While the weather forecast is for scattered showers in Kolkata on the match day, it is likely to be partly cloudy around the match time with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. The last game here was washed out due to rain after the first innings. We don’t expect a similar fate for this one. KKR vs RR Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket at the Eden Gardens. There has been some help for the spinners historically, and in recent years, we have also seen 200+ scores. Considering the small dimensions of the ground, it becomes easier to clear the boundaries often. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches here is 202 runs. Anything below 200 will not be easy to defend on this ground. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 3 of the 4 matches played at this venue in Kolkata. Spinners will find help at this venue in the second innings and could put the chasing team under pressure and get the upper hand in this contest. Moreover, it’s a day match, and there won’t be any due to help the chasing team.

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. DC vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to face the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 48 of IPL 2025 on April 29 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. DC has been in impressive form this season, securing six wins out of nine matches, placing them fourth in the points table with 12 points. In contrast, KKR has faced challenges this season, managing only three wins in nine games and currently sitting seventh with seven points. DC played their last game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Batting first, DC scored 162 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. KL Rahul scored 41 runs off 39 deliveries. DC lost against the in-form Virat Kohli and out-of-the-box Krunal Pandya in the 19th over of the game by 6 wickets. Skipper Axar Patel took two wickets for 19. KKR’s last game got washed out because of the rain. PBKS scored 201 runs for the loss of four wickets. Rain halted the game when KKR were at seven runs in the first over. Both teams shared a point each. KKR now has three losses and a win in the last five games. This includes their historical defeat against PBKS, where PBKS defended the lowest target. In their last game against each other in the last season of the IPL, KKR managed to beat DC by 7 wickets. Batting first, Delhi scored 153 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Varun Chakravarthy picked up three wickets for 16 runs. KKR managed to chase the target with seven wickets in hand. Axar Patel took two wickets for 25. This was KKR’s second consecutive win against the Capitals. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview DC will be eager to bounce back after a recent six-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). ​Abhishek Porel will open the innings with Du Plessis. Porel has scored 253 runs at a strike rate above 150. Du Plessis is back in the squad after Fraser-McGruk failed to produce the start with Porel. Du Plessis has 103 runs in 4 games. Karun Nair will come at number three. After 88 runs against MI, Nair has scored just 41 runs in the next four games. KL Rahul will be the batter to watch out for. Rahul has 364 runs in 8 innings at an average of 60 and a strike rate of 146. With three fifties and 16 sixes in 8 innings, it looks like the old KL Rahul is back. Skipper Axar Patel will come in the middle with Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Varma. Axar has 189 runs with the bat at a strike rate of 156. He has failed to impress with the ball. Verma has a strike rate of 175, scoring 138 runs in 6 innings. Stubbs has scored 217 runs at an average of 54 and has a strike rate of 164. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview ​Things are not looking good for the current champions. They have just three wins in 9 games. Sunil Naraine will open the innings with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Naraine has 151 runs at a strike rate of 175. He has also taken 7 wickets with the ball at an economy of 7.75. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane will come at number three. He is their leading run-scorer with 271 runs at a strike rate of 146. Angkrish Raghuvanshi will come in the middle with Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh. Raghuvanshi has an average of 40 and has scored 197 runs. Rinku Singh has managed to score 133 runs in 7 innings. Russell has yet to explode with the bat this season. He has scored just 55 runs in 6 innings. With the ball, he has claimed 7 wickets. It will be interesting to see if KKR replaces him with Moeen Ali. Varun Arora will lead the bowling attack with Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy. The trio has taken 11 wickets each in 9 games. Chakravarthy will be the bowler to watch out for. He has an economy of 6.85- the lowest among the bowlers. Weather Conditions The weather at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 22 and 34 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-15 km/h. It is a batting-friendly pitch. With its short boundaries and high altitude, the Chinnaswamy Stadium is a paradise for batters in limited-overs cricket, where towering totals are often posted—and chased—without breaking a sweat. The game will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on 29th April from 7:30 p.m. onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 48,000 spectators and regularly hosts IPL fixtures. It is also the home ground for the Delhi Capitals.  Toss: To Bowl In 14 T20I games hosted here, results have favored the teams chasing the target on 9 occasions. In this IPL season, three games have been played at this venue. The results have favored the team chasing the target on one occasion. The team winning the toss should bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 26, Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 The last time Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings faced off at Eden Gardens was in IPL 2024, where Punjab beat the home side by chasing down 262 in 18.4 overs. Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. KKR vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 44th match of IPL 2025 this Saturday night in Kolkata. KKR have struggled with form this season, picking up only three wins from eight games, putting them at seventh in the standings. Punjab are doing better, with five wins and three losses, holding fifth place. They’ve already taken down KKR once this year and look better placed to do it again. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview It’s been a tough ride for defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders so far—just three wins in eight games, five losses, and they’re now sitting at seventh on the table. They’ve now lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, the latest being a heavy 39-run defeat to Gujarat Titans at home. The team looks worn down. The batting unit hasn’t done them any favors. Apart from skipper Ajinkya Rahane, the rest have been patchy. Quinton de Kock was replaced by Rahmanullah Gurbaz last match, but the Afghan keeper could only chip in with 1 on his season debut. Sunil Narine’s form at the top has been unpredictable, and both Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh are having a hard time adjusting to the slower tracks. Andre Russell has hit a few out of the park, but overall hasn’t looked anywhere close to his usual self. Ramandeep Singh, given multiple shots, still hasn’t made any real impact. One of the few positives is Angkrish Raghuvanshi. The youngster has scored 197 runs from 7 innings, averaging 38.71 with a strike rate of 149.24. But KKR’s habit of shifting him around the order hasn’t helped with stability. The bowling has fared a bit better. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora have handled the early spells decently, taking 20 wickets between them. The spin trio of Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, and Moeen Ali have managed to apply some control through the middle overs. Russell, despite his quiet run with the bat, might still be useful with his cutters on this pitch. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings are hanging in there—five wins, three losses, and they’re currently fifth. In their last game, they went down by 7 wickets at home to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a team they had beaten away not long before. At the top, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been aggressive early, but haven’t quite strung it together game after game. Shreyas Iyer has been steady at number three, piling up 263 runs from eight innings with a strike rate of 185.21. He’s looked assured and will be central to their batting again. Nehal Wadhera has chipped in nicely through the middle overs, striking at 146. His knocks haven’t been long, but they’ve come at the right moments. Josh Inglis replaced Glen Maxwell but hasn’t offered much with the bat. Given the Eden surface, Punjab may rethink that swap just for the added spin option Maxwell brings. Marcus Stoinis is hit-and-miss but dangerous when he connects. Shashank Singh has quietly done a good job closing games and can flip the momentum late. Weather Conditions Eden Gardens produced its trademark pitch last game – good for runs but with some natural slowness. Expect more of the same, with the ball gripping the pitch and batters needing to time their shots carefully. Slow bowlers should play a major role, putting extra importance on scoring freely during field restrictions. Kolkata’s weather looks partly cloudy with high humidity in the evening hours.  No rain is predicted, meaning we’ll likely see a complete 40 overs of action. Eden Gardens has produced an average first-innings score of 167 runs. During this year’s IPL, four matches have been played here with just one offering a true batting paradise – the remaining three surfaces favored slower conditions while remaining decent for scoring. Should we get another slow track like last game’s, teams will likely target 180-190 to post a competitive total. Toss: To Bat Three of the four matches played at Eden Gardens in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first, which clearly shows that batting first is more advantageous here.

KKR vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Gujarat Titans in the 39th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 21st April 2025 at 7:30 PM. The ten-team tournament has reached the middle of the league stages with Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Rohan Charan’s Bangalore acquiring the top four spots in that sequence. Gujarat Titans gained the first place after dethroning Delhi Capitals by defeating them in a high-scoring contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders are set to play the table-toppers, Gujarat Titans, at home at Eden Gardens on 21st April, 2025. Kolkata Knight Riders have lost 4 of the first 7 games in IPL 2025 with just 6 points and a net run rate of 0.547. The Knight Riders are currently placed 6th among the 10 teams. KKR started the season with a big loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore. After scoring a below-par 174 batting first, KKR could not defend against RCB and lost the game by 7 wickets with about 4 overs to spare. In the next game, KKR got their first win against RR by a comprehensive margin of 8 wickets with 15 balls remaining. Chasing a low score of 152, KKR got there easily thanks to Quinton De Kock’s innings of 97 off just 61 deliveries.

Against SRH, Kolkata  Knight Riders scored 200 and restricted the opponents to just 120. KKR never got into any winning momentum as they lost the next game against LSG by 4 runs, chasing a huge total of 239. They won their next win against CSK by 8 wickets, followed by a loss to PBKS by 16 runs. Gujarat Titans Preview This is turning out to be an excellent season for Gujarat Titans, especially when not many gave them a chance to be at the top of the table midway through the league stage of IPL 2025. They are up against Kolkata Knight Riders who have not done so well so far this season. With 5 wins in 7 games and the best net run rate of 0.984. Gujarat titans are currently at the top of the table with 10 points. Despite starting the season with a loss against Punjab Kings by 11 runs, Gujarat Titans won the next four games against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals. All four wins were comprehensive victories. The biggest of them came against the Rajasthan Royals in their fifth game when the Gujarat Titans scored 217 thanks to Sai Sudarshan’s innings of 82 off just 53 balls. In defence, they restricted the Rajasthan Royals to just 159 runs, winning the game by 58 runs. Prasit Krishna took three wickets for 24 runs in that game. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Eden Gardens, Kolkata is expected to experience very warm and humid conditions. The temperature is expecte to range between a high of 36°C and a low of 26°C. There is no chance of rain on the match day. KKR vs GT Pitch Report The venue of the match is Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

The venue hosted it’s first international Tests in 1934 and has hosted many international games since then. The venue has a seating capacity of around 66,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat Out of the 3 matches played here in this season, the team batting first have won against 1 win by the team bowling first. This is a high scoring venue where teams batting first have scored 200 or more twice, both times in wins. This looks like a good batting wicket. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

PBKS vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis Match 31 of IPL 2025 has Punjab Kings (PK) facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Chandigarh this Tuesday. Punjab have dropped to sixth after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad, but they’re still viewed as one of the more dangerous sides this season because of their batting. KKR, last year’s winners, haven’t had the easiest run either, sitting even with three wins and three losses. Punjab will hope home conditions work in their favor, though KKR have enough in the tank to make this a tough one. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have had a decent run so far—three wins, two losses, and they’re sitting sixth on the table. Their last outing was a wild one, losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets in a game that saw 491 runs scored. Punjab smashed 245-6 but still couldn’t drag it past the finish line, with Hyderabad chasing it down with nearly two overs to spare. That pitch in Hyderabad was an absolute belter, and Punjab won’t want to overthink that result. Up top, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been doing the job early, setting the tone in the powerplay. Shreyas Iyer has been rock solid at number three, hammering 250 runs in five knocks at a strike rate of 208.33. He’s looked in complete control and will be expected to carry that form forward. That said, not everything’s been smooth. Nehal Wadhera hasn’t quite found rhythm, and Glenn Maxwell has barely made a dent this season. Their lack of runs has made the middle overs a bit of a dead zone. Bringing Josh Inglis in could give the lineup a bit more bite. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders haven’t managed back-to-back wins in IPL 2025, but they’ve avoided back-to-back defeats too. After three wins and three losses, they’ve been making smart adjustments along the way to stay in the fight. Their latest result — an 8-wicket thumping of Chennai Super Kings on their turf — pushed them up to fourth in the standings. The batting unit looks settled, though Quinton de Kock’s inconsistency hasn’t helped. Narine has made up for it with explosive starts, scoring at a rate of 190. Ajinkya Rahane, batting at No. 3, has been their most reliable contributor with 204 runs in six games at a strike rate of 154.54. A smart move last game was sending Rinku Singh in at No. 4 — something they should’ve done earlier. He’s much more impactful when he has enough deliveries to work with. On the flip side, Andre Russell is still looking for rhythm with the bat, and Ramandeep Singh has barely made a mark. Venkatesh Iyer had one decent knock but hasn’t done much otherwise. Weather Conditions The pitch at Mullanpur has been excellent for batting, particularly in the first half. The ball comes on nicely to the bat, and batters can hit through the line to get their boundaries. Spinners will come into play once the pitch slows down a little in the second half, but it won’t be too dramatic.  The weather in Mullanpur will be hot and hazy, and it won’t be easy on the players. There is no forecast of rain, so we will get a full match. In the two matches played at Mullanpur in IPL 2025, teams batting first have posted 205-4 and 219-6, respectively, and won the game quite comfortably in the end. Expect another high-scoring game with the team batting first eyeing a total of around 200-210 runs. Toss: To Bat Both the previous games of IPL 2025 held at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, have been won comfortably by the team batting first. This indicates that batting first is the safer option here.

Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. CSK vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis Match 25 of IPL 2025 sees Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Chennai this Friday. CSK are having a torrid season so far, with just one win and four losses. KKR, last year’s champs, haven’t exactly had a smooth run either, sitting on two wins and three losses. Both sides head into this one after a defeat, and pressure is mounting. CSK will be banking on familiar conditions to pull off a much-needed win, but KKR have the tools to handle this surface and won’t go down without a fight. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview CSK’s season has taken a nosedive after a bright start. Since their opening win, they’ve slumped to four straight losses, sitting at ninth place with a weak NRR of -0.889. Their most recent defeat came against Punjab Kings, losing by 18 runs despite putting up 201-5 in response to a 220-run target. There were some positives with the bat, which might help build some momentum going forward. Still, there’s plenty to fix across the board. The top order—Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, and Ruturaj Gaikwad—has been patchy and way too cautious during the powerplay, putting the rest of the lineup under unnecessary pressure. Shivam Dube brought some spark with a solid 42 off 27 last game, and Dhoni’s 27 off 12 added a late push. But outside of them, there just isn’t enough firepower to finish games. Relying on Dhoni at 43 or expecting Jadeja and Ashwin to go big at the death isn’t a winning formula. The bowling hasn’t helped their case either. Khaleel Ahmed’s been sharp with the new ball, grabbing 10 wickets at an 8.25 economy. You can almost count on him to strike early. Noor Ahmad has stood out as well, leading the team with 11 wickets at 8.33. He’ll be a big factor at Chidambaram. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders have had a stop-start season so far, with two wins and three losses. Just when it feels like they’ve turned a corner, they slip up again. In their last outing, they came close to chasing down a massive 239 at home, falling short by just four runs. It was a match they’d feel they should’ve won, especially after cruising at 162-2 in 13 overs before collapsing under pressure. That said, the batting effort was still promising. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane led the charge with a fluent 61 off 35, while Venkatesh Iyer (45 off 29) and Sunil Narine (30 off 13) chipped in with useful cameos. Rinku Singh’s 38* off 15 at the back end gave them a chance, but it wasn’t quite enough. Their batting looks solid on paper, though Quinton de Kock’s patchy form hasn’t helped their cause. Andre Russell hasn’t found his rhythm with the bat either, and Ramandeep Singh has struggled to get going. Their bowling took a beating in that high-scoring game, but the surface at Chidambaram Stadium should work in their favor. Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine could make a big impact with their combined eight overs. Moeen Ali might also slot into the XI, likely replacing Spencer Johnson, adding another spin option and some depth to the batting. Weather Conditions Spin will be king at Chepauk again, with the surface slowing down considerably as the game progresses. Batsmen will need to capitalize during powerplays before the ball softens and starts gripping. Most overs will likely go to spinners in these slow conditions. Weather-wise, players can expect standard Chennai heat and humidity under clear skies. CSK vs KKR Pitch Report Chepauk tends to produce first-innings scores around 160. Out of the three matches played here in IPL 2025, the biggest total so far came from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who put up 196-7 against CSK and won that one by 50 runs. The pitch should play slow again, offering plenty for the spinners. A first-innings target in the 170-180 range would put the batting side in a solid position. Toss: To Bat Recent results at Chepauk favor the team that bats first – they’ve won the last two IPL 2025 contests at this venue. The surface tends to get slower as the game progresses, creating tougher conditions for chasing teams in the second innings.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​​​ Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 08, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Lucknow Super Giants in both their matchups in IPL 2024. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. KKR vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis Tuesday’s IPL 2025 action brings us to Kolkata where the Knight Riders face off against the Lucknow Super Giants in match 21. After stumbling initially, KKR have bounced back impressively with a dominant victory against SRH on their home turf. This momentum should help them against an erratic LSG squad, who’ll need to seriously lift their game if they hope to overcome the title holders in Kolkata. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview After a shaky start to their season, Kolkata Knight Riders finally found their rhythm in the fourth game, hammering Sunrisers Hyderabad by 80 runs at home. They posted a strong 200-5 on a slightly sticky pitch, then skittled SRH for just 120 in reply. Things didn’t start great—they lost two early wickets—but Rahane (38 off 27) and Raghuvanshi (50 off 32) steadied the innings with smart batting. Later, Venkatesh Iyer (60 off 29) and Rinku Singh (32* off 17) turned the heat up and pushed the total to a winning one. The openers haven’t fired yet, but Rahane brings some calm at one-down. Raghuvanshi may be new, but he’s showing good temperament and looks like someone who can keep contributing solid runs. With Venkatesh and Rinku back among the runs, the batting unit suddenly feels a lot stronger. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Lucknow Super Giants have had a bit of an up-and-down run so far in IPL 2025. They’ve won two games and lost two, most recently sneaking past Mumbai Indians by 12 runs. That result helped them climb to sixth in the table. Batting first, they posted a solid 203-8 and did just enough to keep Mumbai to 191-5. Mitchell Marsh was the difference-maker, blasting a rapid 60 from just 31 balls. Aiden Markram finally got some runs under his belt too, finishing with 53 off 38. Nicholas Pooran has been the most dependable batter for LSG over the last two seasons. He’s had good memories at Eden Gardens too—scoring 45 (32) and 58 (30) in his last two games there. Backing him to clear 30 runs this time wouldn’t be a stretch. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant’s poor form continues to hurt LSG. With only 19 runs in four games, he’s put added pressure on the rest of the batting order. David Miller hasn’t offered much relief either, struggling for timing and form. One bright spot has been the lower middle order. Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad have chipped in with a couple of useful cameos. Samad could be handy again, especially against KKR’s spinners. Weather Conditions The pitch we saw in the previous game was a typical Eden pitch – a little on the slower side while being generally good for batting. Given that KKR won that match handsomely, we should expect another similar surface where the ball holds up a bit and batters will need to be patient to score the big hits. Spinners will dominate the proceedings, which makes the powerplay crucial as batters will have to maximize it.  The weather in Kolkata will be slightly cloudy but still humid at night. There is no rain forecast, so we will have a full game. KKR vs LSG Pitch Report Eden Gardens typically sees an average first-innings score of 167. In the two games played at the venue in IPL 2025, we have seen two contrasting pitches with the first innings scores being 174-8 and 200-5. If we get a slower pitch similar to the previous game, both teams will eye a total of around 180-190 to feel confident.  Toss: To Bat Going by what we saw in the previous match, batting first and putting an above-par score is the safest option at the Eden.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​ Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 03, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders have been unbeaten against Sunrisers Hyderabad over the last four encounters. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. KKR vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face off in the 15th match of IPL 2025 this Thursday in Kolkata, with both teams struggling to find form. Last season’s finalists have had a rough start, each securing just one win from three games and sitting in the lower half of the standings. KKR will look to turn things around at home, while SRH will rely on their powerful batting lineup to step up after back-to-back disappointing performances. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders have struggled to string together good performances this season. They suffered two heavy defeats but managed a win against a Rajasthan Royals side that has been far from convincing. Their most recent outing saw them crumble against Mumbai Indians, losing by eight wickets at Wankhede. Batting first, they collapsed for just 117 on a pitch that had plenty to offer. Mumbai made light work of the chase, wrapping things up in only 12.5 overs. Such a heavy defeat is bound to leave the team rattled, and bouncing back won’t be easy. Their biggest concern is their shaky batting lineup. If Quinton de Kock departs early, the rest of the order doesn’t inspire much confidence. Sunil Narine is yet to settle into his opening role, while Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell have struggled for form. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has shown promise, but his quickfire knocks need to translate into bigger scores, especially with others failing to deliver. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad made a fiery start to the season, smashing their way past opponents with fearless batting. But that same aggressive mindset has cost them in back-to-back losses, where their much-hyped lineup fell short. This team is a double-edged sword—one day, they’ll blast their way to 240+, and the next, they’ll collapse under their own attacking intent.  Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma hold the key to SRH’s chances. A strong powerplay start from the two is essential for the team’s chances, and while Abhishek has been out of form in the last three games, he’s too talented to keep failing. He’s due for a solid knock, and we’re backing him to put up at least 30 runs here at a 200+ strike rate. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen could also be game-changers on this wicket. Both take a few deliveries to get in, but can shift gears quickly once set. Another big positive for SRH has been Aniket Verma. His quickfire 36 (13) and 74 (41) in the last two matches show he’s turning into a lethal lower-order finisher. On the bowling side, Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins need to step up and find their rhythm early. They haven’t been as effective as expected, leaking runs at crucial moments. Adam Zampa, who is usually dependable, has struggled with his lengths. However, young leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari impressed in the last game and could be an x-factor on the Eden Gardens surface. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Eden Gardens has been a subject of much debate over the last few days. In the season opener, we got see a really good batting wicket here with something in it for the bowlers as well. KKR, however, are miffed at the curators for not creating a slow pitch that assists their spinners. We might get to see a slower Eden pitch this time given the pressure the groundstaff are under. A belter will play into SRH’s hands. The weather in Kolkata will be slightly warm but cool in the evening. Eden Gardens typically sees an average first-innings score of 167, but last season the venue witnessed eight totals crossing the 200-run mark, showing a shift towards higher-scoring games. The pitch is likely to remain favorable for batters this time around with some help for the pacers and spinners. However, with the ground’s shorter boundaries, teams batting first will aim for a target in the range of 190-200 runs. Toss: To Bowl Chasing is usually the preferred option at Eden Gardens as we saw in the first game how RCB comfortably chased down a target of 175 in 16.2 overs against KKR.
