KKR vs SRH Live Updates, Scores, IPL 2024 Final: Kolkata win their 3rd IPL title
Hyderabad won the toss and opted to bat first but they were off to a poor start and never recovered from that
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the IPL 2024 final match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chennai's M A Chidambaram Stadium today (May 26). These two teams had finished the league stage as one and two in the points table.
KKR have won the IPL title twice, in 2012 and 2014 while SRH have claimed the trophy once, in 2016.
In Sunday's final, KKR start as favourites. In the current season, they have beaten SRH twice, in the league stage, and playoffs. This 2-0 lead will definitely give them edge over their rivals in the summit clash. But, in a format like T20, anything can happen.
After winning the toss and batting first, SRH were bowled out for an IPL final record-low total of 113 all out in 18.3 overs. In reply, KKR cruised to victory in just 10.3 overs, losing two wickets.
