IPL 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders – SRH vs KKR Best Dream 11 Team – Fantasy Playing 11

Kolkata Knight Riders’s one last hope in play in our SRH vs KKR best playing 11 prediction for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 

It’s match number 60 of the TATA IPL 2025, and we have the Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on the Kolkata Knight Riders in their home den, Hyderabad. Both teams are currently in the bottom half of the points table, and while SRH are already eliminated from the Playoffs race, KKR’s Playoffs chances lie on a thread. Mathematically, they are still in with a chance, but realistically, they are out as it looks extremely difficult to qualify with anything less than 16 points.

So, having said that the match itself seems a dead rubber from SRH’s perspective at least. It has been an unforgettable season for the SRH  team. They had almost the same team that helped them be the Runner-up team in IPL 2024, but somehow the bang-bang approach hasn’t worked out this year, and the same team had a poor success ratio in terms of the output they had been expecting in their batting. With just 3 matches left for them, all SRH will be looking to do is try out various combinations so that they are well-prepared for IPL 2026. 

The KKR team, on the other hand, does have some light in the tunnel as they prepare for this match. They have 11 points currently, and with just 2 matches to go for them, the maximum they can get to is 15 points. However, seeing the competition, there are two teams already on 16 points, and one team on 15 points. The only realistic probability is when we see DC win against MI, and lose the other two matches. Whereas MI lose all from here. Only then KKR can qualify basis the NRR on 15 points.

However, as the team approach Hyderbad’s pitch, expect them to switch to Anrich Nortje. Nortje will not only improve their pace bowling, but will also be useful in the death overs. Other than this change, expect Venkatesh Iyer to be back in the side if he is fit and available. If not, Manish Pandey should continue.
