FOUR! Tim Southee to Siddarth Kaul. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. That's the end of SRH's innings. After the initial collapse, the middle order failed to build the partnership to steady their side. The KKR's bowlers, especially the spinners, had a brilliant day. They just executed their plans well to trouble the SRH batters. Will the SRH bowlers do the same for their side, or will KKR gain a huge run rate by easing this target?

FOUR! Siddarth Kaul to Dinesh Karthik. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. KKR win by six wickets. They showed their dominance in all the departments. The KKR bowlers bowled well to restrict the SRH for a below-par score, and their top orders set the tone for the chase. The SRH bowlers also had their momentum in the middle, but the below-par score is harmful. Dinesh Karthik played a short cameo to get his side across the line. Shubman Gill is adjudged as the Player of the Match. Join us for tomorrow's game. Cheers.
