Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are at home for the match no-15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This time they are playing host to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Eden Gardens on Thursday evening. KKR have won just once in the first three games and it’s the same return for the SRH in the first three matches as well.
IPL 2025 KKR vs SRH Pitch Report, Venue Stats – Eden Gardens
The Eden Gardens Pitch is amongst the most balanced one in India. The new ball bowlers tend to get ample bounce and carry while spinners also get some sort of assistance as the match progresses. But overall, it’s a good batting pitch. In the very first game, KKR made 174/8 but it wasn’t enough as RCB chased down the target in just 16.2 overs. So the team batting first has to score around 185-200 runs in order to make life difficult for the team batting second.
