The IPL 2024 finale is upon as Kolkata Knight Riders lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad for an epic encounter set to take place on Sunday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

KKR vs SRH Pitch Report
The surface at M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai featured some extra bounce in the qualifier 2 between SRH and RR, which the seamers took advantage of all through the match. In addition to the bouncy bounce, the ball occasionally veered off the track, giving the fast bowlers a glimpse of seam movement.
In addition, the spinners discovered some true turn, which presented a serious obstacle for the hitters in the tie. Heinrich Klaasen’s counterattacking jab against RR’s seasoned spin department changed the game precisely for this reason. Another interesting thing to note was that there were no dew in the second half of the RR vs SRH match, helping the spinners to grip the ball well.
