KKR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction for Today’s Match 15: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Both teams have struggled so far, with two losses in their first three games, making this a crucial match to regain momentum.
The defending champions, KKR, endured a heavy eight-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians in their last outing. Their batting lineup faltered in Mumbai, managing only 116 runs, with no batter crossing the 30-run mark. They will be eager to bounce back and put up a stronger performance at home.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) suffered a seven-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals in their previous match. Batting first, they endured a top-order collapse before Aniket Verma provided some resistance with a brilliant 74 off 41 balls. Despite his efforts, SRH could only manage 163 runs, which proved to be insufficient as DC comfortably chased down the target with four overs to spare.
