Win Projections to be updated soon
Suresh Raina on SRH and Pat Cummins preparing for the championship game: Although the Sunrisers should stick to their batting-first strategy and score runs, the eight overs of spin will be very important.
With KKR’s IPL victory in Chennai, the stakes will be higher. Pat Cummins, who has already won a World Cup, is crucial to SRH because he understands how to manage the locker room. Everything will be organized, you follow the procedure, you are ready for the championship, and the players are aware of their tasks.
The Indian Premier League enters its penultimate match of the 2024 season as the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders prepare for their final meeting at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday, May 26.
With eight team totals of 250 or more this season—eight times higher than any other time in IPL history—it has proven to be a run-fest. The two teams competing in the finals spearheaded this assault; SRH scored 250 in three games while KKR scored the same amount on two occasions.
Anil Kumble about the championship match: We observed that both of these clubs have reinterpreted how to approach the powerplay. You have to use the powerplay on this surface, and we saw how SRH executed it. It is understandable that the two teams who performed well throughout the competition set the terms from the first ball on and will play in the finals on Sunday in Chennai.
Anil Kumble on the prospects for the Knight Riders in the championship game: KKR has proven to be an all-around squad, both at bat and with the ball. The players that haven’t yet contributed from Rinku Singh are all of them. With a squad that features explosive hitters, a bowler like Starc—who is finally finding his form—and Shreyas Iyer can make a big difference. Even though he has performed admirably as a captain, he has maintained composure and made good use of his resources. They have formidable bat and ball power, and he brought out the best in Russell.

According to Shane Watson, Sunrisers have a distinct advantage because they are familiar with the wicket’s characteristics, particularly in the absence of dew. Though they will need to quickly replenish their physical and mental stamina, I still think that KKR is the team to beat. They are as young as a daisy, have players on their team that are of the highest caliber, and will be extremely difficult to beat.
