END OF OVER:
12 | 8 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 101/4 (17 runs required, RR: 8.41)

  • Suryakumar Yadav2 (2b)
  • Manish Pandey33 (24b)
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar3-0-24-1
  • 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

B Kumar to SA Yadav, 1 run, job done, Bhuvneshwar lets them have a length ball finally, it is pulled high but fails to clear the field, also falls short of deep midwicket

B Kumar to Pandey, 1 run, deep midwicket bends to pick up another one that rolls along the ground, they just have not been able to get the measure of these low full tosses

B Kumar to Pandey, FOUR, wide full toss, he jumps down the track and slices it past a diving backward point, Sunrisers will be fine with that

B Kumar to SA Yadav, 1 run, another low full toss, another heave, another single to long on, the crowd roars in approval

NJ: "KKR missed the trick by not sending SA Yadav..he's been in terrific form"

Mohit: "Kumars working well in harness here."
