KKR vs SRH Match Wash out? Who will go through it?
If the KKR vs. SRH match gets washed out or no result is possible in the stipulated and extra times (Super Overs), then the team that has finished higher on the points table will go through to the final. In this case, KKR finished the league stages as table toppers, and they will move to the final, while SRH will travel to Chennai to Qualifier 2.
KKR vs SRH In IPL 2024
Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad crossed paths once in the league stages, in the first week of IPL 2024 at the Eden Gardens. It was a thrilling contest, with KKR emerging victorious by a narrow margin of 4 runs. After posting a formidable 208/7, thanks to Phil Salt’s 40-ball 54 and Andre Russell’s explosive 25-ball 64, KKR’s bowlers put up a strong performance, restricting SRH to 204/7. Harshit Rana was the star with the ball, picking 3/33 and denying a rampaging Heinrich Klassen (63 off 29). However, it’s important to note that this was the SRH side without Travis Head. As the teams gear up for their next encounter in Ahmedabad, KKR will be wary of the Australian, and with Salt unavailable for the Shreyas Iyer side, they have some tough selection decisions to make.
