KKR posted a competitive total of 200/6, setting a challenging target for SRH. However, the Hyderabad team struggled to chase down the score, eventually being bowled out for 120 in 16.4 overs.
KKR’s bowlers, particularly Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy, were instrumental in the win, each taking three wickets. The match was a repeat of the IPL 2024 final, where KKR also emerged victorious.
