IPL 2025: When is SRH's next match? All you need to know about their Opponent, Probable XI, & head-to-head stats

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have had a disappointing run in IPL 2025 so far, suffering back-to-back defeats. After an emphatic win over Rajasthan Royals (RR), where they posted a record-breaking 286/6, their campaign has taken a downturn. They lost to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by five wickets and recently suffered another defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC). Against DC, SRH’s batting collapsed, managing only 163 runs, which the Capitals chased down comfortably.

In their last match against DC, SRH’s batting lineup failed to deliver. Openers Abhishek Sharma (1) and Ishan Kishan (2) fell cheaply, while Travis Head (22) showed promise before getting dismissed. The only standout performer was Aniket Verma, who played a brilliant knock of 74 off 41 balls. Heinrich Klaasen contributed 32 runs, but the rest of the lineup collapsed against DC’s strong bowling attack. Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohit Sharma wreaked havoc, restricting SRH to a below-par total.

The team’s bowling attack, led by Pat Cummins, has lacked penetration in recent games. Despite having experienced bowlers like Mohammed Shami and Harshal Patel, SRH has struggled to defend and contain runs.

Opponent and match details

• Opponent: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

• Date: Wednesday, April 3

• Time: 7:30 PM IST

• Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata

SRH now face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens, a venue that traditionally assists spinners. With SRH struggling for consistency, this will be a crucial match as they aim to bounce back and revive their campaign.

Probable playing XI for SRH

Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Simranjeet Singh, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami.

Head-to-Head record

 KKR and SRH have been fierce rivals in the IPL, with KKR historically holding an edge in head-to-head encounters. Playing at Eden Gardens, KKR will look to capitalize on home advantage, while SRH will need their batting unit to fire if they hope to turn things around. With SRH desperate for a win, this match is expected to be a high-pressure contest.

A victory against KKR would be a much-needed boost for SRH, but they must address their batting woes and find ways to improve their performance under pressure. Fans can expect an intense battle as SRH fights to stay in contention.
