Kakinada Kings (KNK) are set to battle it out with Vijayawada Sunshiners (VSS) in match No. 4 of the ongoing Andhra Premier League (APL) 2025 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, August 10.
Srikar Bharat-led Kakinada Kings started their season with a three-wicket defeat in a rain-curtailed clash against Amaravati Royals. Bharat and Sai Rahul scored 93 and 96, respectively. However, cameos from several Royals batters helped them chase down a DLS revised target of 173 in 13.2 overs. They won with four balls to spare.
Vijayawada Sunshiners, on the other hand, will be confident after making light work of a 197-run target against Royals of Rayalaseema. Captain Ashwin Hebbar smashed 98, while Garimella Teja also scored an unbeaten 77 as the Sunshiners romped home with seven wickets and 19 balls in the bank.
