KKR vs SRH: Match Preview:
Just over two months after facing each other in their respective tournament-openers, KKR and SRH will be up against each other in the highly-awaited IPL 2024 final. It is the third meeting between the two teams this season. KKR have defeated SRH in both the games and will be eyeing a third win as well while the Hyderabad-based outfit will be hoping to be third time lucky.
Their last meeting took place in the first qualifier and KKR thoroughly dominated that contest. Asked to bat first, SRH were bowled out for just 159 runs before KKR chased down the total in less than 14 overs by losing just two wickets. SRH then beat Rajasthan Royals by 36 runs in the second qualifier to book their place in the final.
While the momentum will be with KKR, SRH will have the slight advantage of being more familiar with the conditions since the second qualifier took place in Chennai. SRH’s spinners made the most of the spin-friendly conditions against Rajasthan and will be looking to replicate that performance against KKR as well.
