In the final match, SRH won the toss and chose to bat first. KKR’s bowling attack, led by the expensive acquisition Mitchell Starc, consistently took wickets, restricting SRH to a modest total. Only captain Pat Cummins (24 in 19 balls) and Aiden Markram (20 in 23 balls) managed to reach the 20-run mark, as SRH was dismissed for 113 in 18.3 overs. Andre Russell (3\/19), Starc (2\/14), and Harshit Rana (2\/24) were the standout bowlers for KKR.
KKR chased down the target of 114 runs in just 10.3 overs, losing only two wickets. Venkatesh Iyer (52* in 26 balls) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (39 in 32 balls) played crucial roles in KKR’s triumphant victory in the tournament’s final match.
