9. Final Match Prediction
KKR has momentum with five straight wins over SRH and a more balanced XI. However, SRH has strong bowling firepower and explosive top-order batters. The key will be SRH’s death bowling vs KKR’s finishers.
Toss will play a huge role, with dew expected to influence the second innings.
Prediction:
Kolkata Knight Riders are favorites, but expect a close contest if SRH bats second.
