SRH Crushes KKR by 110 Runs to End IPL 2025 on a High

Sunrisers Hyderabad concluded their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season with a commanding victory, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by a margin of 110 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In response to a daunting target of 279 runs set by Sunrisers, Kolkata Knight Riders faltered and were bowled out for 168 in 18.4 overs.

Among the Kolkata batters, Sunil Narine scored 31 runs, Manish Pandey contributed 37, and Harshit Rana added 34. Despite these efforts, the team could not withstand the relentless bowling attack from Sunrisers Hyderabad. Harsh Dubey, Jaydev Unadkat, and Eshan Malinga each took three wickets, showcasing a balanced and disciplined bowling performance.

At one stage, Kolkata Knight Riders were struggling at 110 for 7. The recovery in their score was largely due to the partnership between Manish Pandey and Harshit Rana, who added 50 runs for the eighth wicket with aggressive stroke play. However, Jaydev Unadkat dismissed Manish Pandey, breaking the partnership and accelerating the collapse of the Kolkata innings.

Sunrisers Hyderabad displayed outstanding form following the mid-season resumption of IPL 2025, securing three consecutive victories and living up to their trademark aggressive style of play. Although they fell short of qualifying for the playoffs, their performances continued to entertain fans with high-scoring encounters. In this match, their total once again exceeded 250 runs, exemplifying the true essence of T20 cricket.

Following this emphatic win over Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad climbed to sixth place in the points table. Over the course of the season, the team played 14 matches, winning 6, losing 7, and seeing one match end without a result.
