Both teams are eager to improve upon their performances from last year. While SRH finished at the bottom of the table in 2023, KKR fared slightly better at number 7. Both teams are aiming to secure a spot in the playoffs this time around. Therefore, starting with a strong winning note is crucial for their campaign aspirations.
Despite a challenging previous season where SRH languished at the bottom with just two wins in 14 games, the team appears rejuvenated with the additions of Cummins, Travis Head, and Wanindu Hasaranga.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Winning Prediction
The team winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first to assess the conditions more effectively. Additionally, the historical data at this venue indicates a higher success rate for teams batting second. Out of 86 matches played at this venue, teams batting second have won 51 times, whereas teams batting first have won only 35 times. Hence, the toss-winning team is expected to choose to field first at this venue.
Given that it's a home game for KKR, and considering their well-suited team for the pitch along with the experience of their spinners compared to SRH, we predict KKR to emerge victorious against SRH on Saturday.
