Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders secured a comfortable 80-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, who slipped to the bottom of the Indian Premier League (IPL) table. Set a target of 201, Sunrisers' powerful but inconsistent top order failed as they slipped to 9-3 and 66-5 before being bowled out for 120 in 16.4 overs.

Pat Cummins admits his Sunrisers Hyderabad team has not made the ideal start to its Indian Premier League campaign following a third straight loss.

Both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad have won just one game out of three in IPL 2025. Incidentally, KKR and SRH were the finalists in IPL 2024 final.
