The league phase is about to end, its the last match for both Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2025. Hence, both the teams will be playing for pride and looking forward to finish their campaign on a high note. The match will be held at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi at 7:30 pm but one thing that will be important to note are the weather conditions which have been quite unpredictable in Delhi.

According to AccuWeather, Cloud cover will be negligible at a mere 6%, and the skies are predicted to remain clear all through the evening. Humidity will be around 64%, so the air will be ever so slightly sticky but well within the tolerance of both players and spectators. Overall, fans can look forward to a complete 40-over match without any interruption from the weather.
SRH Vs KKR: Pitch Report
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has changed over the past few seasons, providing a better balance between bat and ball. Though it used to be slow and spinner-friendly, recent IPL encounters here have established that batters can pile on runs if they put their efforts in, particularly during the powerplay and death overs.
Despite that, the pitch still provides some turn and grip in the middle overs, and this allows spinners to take control of the game. Slow balls and cutters by pacers would also work, particularly as the surface deteriorates. With fast outfield and short boundaries, totals over 180 are extremely competitive at this ground.

SRH Vs KKR: Toss Strategy
Captains who win the toss will most likely choose to bowl first with the aim of chasing under the lights, where conditions are likely to suit the batters. Dew should not play a significant part, but chasing teams have generally had the advantage at this ground.
