Match 25 of IPL 2022 will see Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday at the Brabourne Stadium. While SRH have won their last game against Gujarat Titans, KKR went down fighting in a high-scoring game against Delhi Capitals.
Meanwhile, the Hyderabad franchise will miss their star spinner in Washington Sundar, who suffered a finger injury in their last game. Besides bowling in the powerplay, Washington also offers them the much-needed balance at No.7.
The timing of Washington’s injury is the key for Hyderabad as they finally appeared to be picking up pace after losing their first two games. However, SRH will look to continue the momentum and secure their third win of IPL 2022 against KKR.

Kolkata, on the other hand, were completely outplayed by Delhi Capitals in their last outing. Pat Cummins is leaking runs despite impressing with the bat the other day and Varun Chakravarthy hasn’t been as effective as he was earlier. The bowling looks over-reliant on Umesh Yadav and Sunil Narine.
On the batting front, Nitish Rana and Ajinkya Rahane have not justified their selection yet. They need to return to form if KKR have to trump a confident SRH side.
