Earlier, Kolkata rode on a superlative show by their bowlers to restrict defending champions Hyderabad to 128/7 in 20 overs.

Right at the end of the first innings, it started drizzling and in no time it turned into heavy rain, delaying KKR's response after skipper Gambhir won the toss and chose to bowl seeing the slow nature of the 22-yard strip.

None of the Hyderabad batsmen could score a half century, with skipper David Warner managing only 37 off 35 balls as the highest score of the innings.

Nathan Coulter-Nile (3/20) was the pick of the bowlers while Umesh Yadav (2/21) continued his good show as the two-time IPL champions made the most of the slow Chinnaswamy wicket to keep Warner and company in check.
