### **KKR’s Path to Victory**

### **Pitch & Toss Strategy**
The match is a **3:30 PM local start**, meaning dew will not be a major factor.

> **Prediction:** While KKR is showing signs of recovery after recent wins, **SRH** looks more balanced and powerful at home. Expect a high-scoring game dominated by the Sunrisers’ batters.
