Klaasen hits third-fastest IPL century in Sunrisers win
Heinrich Klaasen hit an unbeaten 105 as Sunrisers Hyderabad finished their Indian Premier League season with 110-run thrashing of Kolkata Knight Riders. The South African's century came off 37 balls, the third-fastest in the competition's history, while he put on partnerships of 83 apiece with Travis Head (76) and Ishan Kishan (29) as Hyderabad cruised to 278-3 in Delhi. The total, the third highest in the tournament's history, was always going to be a formidable challenge for defending champions Kolkata, and they failed to make much of a chase. Opener Sunil Narine hit 31 from 16 deliveries, but he was the only member of the top six to pass 15. Manish Pandey (37) and Harshit Rana (34) added 42 for the eighth wicket, but by that point the match was over as a contest, and Rana's dismissal by Eshan Malinga in the 19th over saw Kolkata bowled out for 168. Malinga finished with figures of 3-31, while Jaydev Unadkat and Harsh Dubey also took three wickets, for 24 and 34 respectively. Hyderabad had got their innings off to a flier, with Head and Abhishek Sharma putting on an opening partnership of 92 inside seven overs. Abhishek was caught by Rinku Singh off Narine for 32, bringing Klaasen to the crease, and the 33-year-old raced to 50 in 17 deliveries. His innings featuring seven fours and nine sixes, with Kolkata failing to restrict their opponents to a total they'd be capable of chasing. The result lifts Hyderabad to sixth, while condemning the 2024 title winners to eighth place. Scorecard, IPL fixtures & results, table

SRH vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad aim to finish on a high
SRH vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: The final fixture of IPL 2024 is back at the business end of IPL 2025 — but this time, the stakes are low. With both Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) out of the playoff race, Sunday's clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is all about salvaging pride and ending a disappointing campaign on a winning note. SRH came into this season with high hopes, especially after their explosive batting displays led them to a runners-up finish in 2024. However, their firepower fizzled out in 2025. The batting failed to replicate last year's heroics, and the bowling unit never truly hit its stride. As a result, the "sun" barely rose on their campaign. Still, Hyderabad carry a bit of momentum into this clash, having crushed Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 42 runs in Lucknow — a win that dented RCB's top-two hopes. Ishan Kishan and Eshan Malinga starred in that victory, and with SRH having more recent match practice than KKR — who last played on May 7 against CSK — that could make a difference. The Arun Jaitley pitch is expected to be a batting paradise, which suits SRH's power-hitters like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aniket Verma. If they fire, fans could witness a run-fest that leaves KKR chasing shadows. KKR, meanwhile, have endured a season to forget. After winning their third title in 2024, they entered 2025 as defending champions but never lived up to that billing. A poor home record, inconsistent performances, and an unsettled batting order plagued their campaign. Controversy surrounding their home pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee didn't help either. Their batting lacked cohesion — frequent changes at the top, a misfiring middle order, and a fragile death-over strategy made it hard for the team to build momentum. The bowling has been average at best, offering little support to turn things around. Still, KKR can take solace from their earlier win in Delhi and may look to end their forgettable campaign with a final flourish. A win here won't change the table, but it could help restore some pride and give them something to build on for IPL 2026. Squads Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga, Mohammed Shami, Harsh Dubey, Sachin Baby, Zeeshan Ansari, Simarjeet Singh, Kamindu Mendis, Atharva Taide, Wiaan Mulder, Rahul Chahar.

"Huge Asset To Our Team": SRH Skipper Pat Cummins Hails Eshan Malinga
Following his side's win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Pat Cummins hailed young Sri Lankan pacer Eshan Malinga for his performances, calling him a "huge asset" for the team. Eshan's two-wicket spell was one of the highlights for SRH as they managed to spoil LSG's party by eliminating them from the playoffs. Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen's quickfire knocks helped SRH chase down 206 set by LSG, condemning the hosts to their seventh loss of the season. Speaking in the post-match presentation, Cummins said, "We conceded a few more than we would have liked. It is a good wicket, but we were confident about the chase. Eshan Malinga has been a huge asset to our team. His execution has been really good." "We know we are a good side when we play our best. Few lessons to learn," he added. Eshan was one of the finds for SRH this season, taking eight wickets in five matches at an average of 21.25 and an economy rate of 8.94, with best figures of 2/28. Coming to the match, SRH won the toss and opted to field first. Markram and Marsh scored half-centuries and put 115 runs for the first wicket. Except for Pooran later, every other batter failed to touch the double digits as LSG finished at 205/7 in their 20 overs. Eshan Malinga (2/28) was the top bowler for SRH, with Harshal Patel, Harsh Dubey and Nitish Kumar Reddy getting one each. LSG needs to defend 206 runs to keep their playoff hopes alive with a sixth win of the season. During the run-chase, Abhishek Sharma (59 in 20 balls, with four boundaries and six sixes) and Ishan Kishan (35 in 28 balls, with three fours and two sixes) put up a 82-run partnership for the second wicket. Cameos from Heinrich Klaasen (47 in 28 balls, with four boundaries and a six) and Kamindu Mendis (32 in 21 balls, with three fours), who formed a half-century stand, helped SRH chase down the target with four wickets and 10 balls in hand. With this victory, SRH are at eighth spot, with four wins, seven losses and a no result. They have a total of nine points. While they were eliminated early, they have spoilt LSG's party by eliminating them from the playoffs race. LSG is in seventh spot, with five wins and seven losses, giving them 10 points.
