The 2024 Indian Premier League final will be played on Sunday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. These teams finished in the top two spots in the group stage and also faced off in Qualifier 1 last Tuesday, which KKR easily won. KKR has not lost a game since Match 42 of this tournament, and there is a lot of confidence in the group. Although Phil Salt’s return to the UK interrupted their opening partnership, they have an excellent replacement and will be confident in their chances of winning this final. Sunrisers Hyderabad were badly defeated in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday, but then produced an excellent performance here in Chepauk on Friday to qualify for the

The surface at the Chidambaram Stadium will be ideal for batting; however, spinners may play an important role, as there may be some turn on offer given the pitch’s recent high temperatures.
It will be a hot evening, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees. There will be some dew in the evening, which will benefit the chasing team.

KKR are our favourites. There is little to choose between teams in terms of quality, but we believe that KKR has a better bowling attack. The presence of Narine and Chakravarthy could mean the difference between KKR winning and losing. The spinners have been in excellent form, and we doubt that SRH will be able to dictate terms against Narine and Chakravarthy on the Narendra Modi Stadium pitch, which has proven to be beneficial to spinners. We predict KKR to win. Considering the team combination, Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to win this match.
