END OF OVER:

  • Praveen Kumar2-0-18-1

So after dropping dollies early off the KKR openers, Sunrisers have lifted their game towards the finish, and a 16-run margin of defeat in a 118-run chase is a fair reflection of how much the KKR chase derailed. The turnaround started when Bopara removed Russell in the ninth over, and the Kumars of Meerut kept up the strangle over the remaining three overs
