Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be locking horns against each other in the 15th game of the ongoing IPL 2025. The match will be taking place on Thursday (April 3) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The last year’s finalists have had a mixed run in the ongoing tournament so far. Both the teams are languishing in the bottom half of the points table after managing to win only 1 of their 3 games. SRH are at the eighth spot while KKR are languishing at the tenth spot.

KKR began their season with a 7-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru before opening their account with an 8-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals. However, they could not sustain the momentum in the following game and suffered an 8-wicket loss against Mumbai Indians.

SRH, on the other hand, started their campaign with a thumping 44-run win over Rajasthan Royals. However, they lost their following two games against Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals.
