SRH vs KKR (25/5): Who won yesterday’s IPL 2025 match?

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 110 runs in yesterday's IPL 2025 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. SRH thus ended a disappointing campaign with three consecutive wins. Batting first, they put up a total of 278-3, the third-highest IPL score. In the chase, KKR folded up for 168 in 18.4 overs, succumbing to their biggest defeat in the IPL in terms of runs.

Batting first, SRH got off to a terrific start as Abhishek Sharma (32 off 16) and Travis Head (76 off 40) added 92 in 6.5 overs. Abhishek's blazing cameo ended when he was caught at deep midwicket off Sunil Narine. Heinrich Klaasen (105* off 39) then joined Head and the duo added 83 for the second wicket at a rapid pace.

Head roared back to form, striking six fours and as many sixes before being caught at long-off after a failed attempt to take on Narine. Klaasen, though, was unstoppable. The right-handed batter slammed seven fours and as many as nine sixes, notching up his second century in the IPL. Klaasen added 83 runs for the third wicket with Ishan Kishan (29 off 20), who played a handy cameo.
