IPL 2025: KKR vs. SRH Weather and pitch report: At the Eden Gardens on Thursday, the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, the IPL 2024 finalists, will square off. Their campaigns have been rocky for each of them; of the three games they have played so far, they have won one and lost two. Despite all, the competition between these two teams has recently been lopsided, with KKR winning.
Given that both clubs are renowned for playing energetically and setting enormous goals, their supporters should anticipate an exciting thriller as they both try to regain their winning ways. Kolkata’s surface, which is renowned for being both a run fest and a spinner-friendly pitch, will have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
The Pat Cummins-led team will try to overcome the hosts and win the match after losing all of its IPL 2024 matches against them, including the summit match. According to the current champions, it would be difficult for them to return and perform regularly in front of their home fans.
After their tournament opening, when the hosts expressed their dissatisfaction at not receiving the spin-friendly field they had hoped for, the Eden Gardens pitch was already the subject of criticism. However, there have also been locations where the pitches have seen turn and grip, as shown by Krunal Pandya, the standout all-rounder for RCB, who displayed incredible spin during the tournament’s first match. However, because of the flat tracks and small boundaries, the surface in Kolkata is still favorable for hitters, who will be able to score a lot of runs. In the 93 IPL games that Eden Gardens has hosted thus far, the teams that batted first have won 38 of them, while the ones that chased have won 56.
According to Accuweather.com, the temperature in Kolkata will be between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the game, making it a hot and muggy day. Dew may have a significant impact since it will make bowling in the second innings more difficult due to the very high humidity.
