Player Of The Match
  • End of Over 20
    Over 20. 4 runs. Bowler: Carlos Brathwaite. Kolkata Knight Riders: 161/9 (rr 8.05)
  • 19.6

    SIX! Prasidh Krishna to Rashid Khan. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump moves in front driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. He finishes the innings in style, and the Sunrisers have posted a very decent total at Eden Gardens. He spots the change of pace, clears the front leg, and powers it over long on for six!

    The men in orange have the momentum with them after that last over. The KKR spinners were first class, but Rashid Khan salvaged the innings with some brutal hits. The Sunrisers bowling attack will be confident of restricting the Knight Riders, but we should be in for a cracking chase.

  • 19.5

    Prasidh Krishna to Rashid Khan. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, top edge in the air uncontrolled to deep backward square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Lynn.

    Wide Prasidh Krishna to Rashid Khan. Length ball, wide outside off stump no foot movement, Left to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Karthik.

  • 19.4

    SIX! Prasidh Krishna to Rashid Khan. Half volley, off stump moves in front flick, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs. Shot of the innings. Remarkable from Rashid Khan. He walks across his stumps, and just a flick of the wrists sends the ball whistling over the rope.

  • 19.3

    FOUR! Prasidh Krishna to Rashid Khan. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. With mid off in the ring, Rashid Khan picks his spot beautifully. A very slow delivery, but he waits patiently, then chips it over the top for four.

  • 19.2

    Prasidh Krishna to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, to deep mid wicket for 1 run.

  • 19.1

    FOUR! Prasidh Krishna to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. Short, wide, and sliced over gully for a one bounce four. Not the place to be bowling in the final over of the innings.

  • End of Over 19
    Over 19. 11 runs. Bowler: Siddarth Kaul. Kolkata Knight Riders: 156/7 (rr 8.21)
  • 18.6

    SIX! Shivam Mavi to Rashid Khan. Half volley, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over deep extra cover for 6 runs. Right out the meat of the bat this time. Rashid Khan dispatches this over extra cover, and it flies all the way for six more. Handy lower order runs, these!

  • 18.5

  • 18.1
    Piyush Chawla b Siddarth Kaul 12 (12)

    OUT! Caught. Shivam Mavi to Yusuf Pathan. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, leading edge in the air uncontrolled to deep cover, by Chawla. Wickets tumbling for the Sunrisers. Yusuf gets a good length to attack, goes big, but mis-hits. Tried to go over long on, but gets a huge leading edge out to the sweeper on the offside boundary. A smart catch from Chawla, as it went up quite high.

  • End of Over 18
    Over 18. 9 runs. Bowler: Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Kolkata Knight Riders: 145/6 (rr 8.06)
  • 17.6

    FOUR! Prasidh Krishna to Rashid Khan. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. Sunrisers need a few of them. Rashid Khan swings wildly, and edges over the keeper's head for four.

  • 17.5

    OUT! Run Out. Prasidh Krishna to Carlos Brathwaite. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot Steer, well timed to third man for 1 run, run save by Rana, by Karthik. Incredible work out at third man by Rana. The ball races off the bat down to him on the boundary edge. He initially puts in a superb diving stop, then is quickly to get to his feet, and fire a throw to Karthik. Brathwaite came back for the second, but was nowhere near making his ground, even with a dive.

  • 17.4

    SIX! Prasidh Krishna to Carlos Brathwaite. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Not where you want to bowl to the big man. A huge knee high full toss. Brathwaite clears the front leg, and shovels it over cow corner for a maximum.

  • 16.5

    OUT! Caught. Sunil Narine to Deepak Hooda. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Switch Hit, top edge in the air uncontrolled to backward point, by Chawla. Ambitious stroke to attempt from Hooda. It doesn't pay off. Goes for the switch-hit, totally miscues, and it spoons up for a simple catch to Chawla. Not the correct shot selection to Narine.

    Carlos Brathwaite to Kuldeep Yadav. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for no runs, fielded by Dhawan.

    The Sunrisers will be facing CSK in the IPL final on Sunday! A terrific performance from them tonight, which took a lot of bottle off the back of four straight losses. Rashid Khan was a superstar with the bat and ball. He pretty much single handedly took the game away from KKR. A superb game of cricket. It sets up the final beautifully.

  • 19.5

    Carlos Brathwaite to Kuldeep Yadav. Yorker, outside off stump moves in front flick, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Saha.

  • 19.4

    APPEAL! Carlos Brathwaite to Kuldeep Yadav. Yorker, outside off stump moves in front Steer, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Brathwaite, appeal made for Caught & Bowled. Brathwaite only appealing because it is the hattrick ball. Kuldeep digs the yorker straight into the ground back to the bowler. Move on.

  • 19.3

    OUT! Caught. Carlos Brathwaite to Shubman Gill. Length ball, down leg side moves in front flick, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Khan. And again! A carbon copy of the previous delivery. A good effort from Gill, but he cannot get his side over the line. An elevated whip off the pads, and it nestles into the hands of deep mid wicket once again.

  • 19.2
    Shivam Mavi c Rashid Khan b Carlos Brathwaite 6 (4)

    OUT! Caught. Carlos Brathwaite to Shivam Mavi. Half volley, down leg side backing away flick, in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Khan. Mavi gets a perfect length to clear the boundary, but hits it straight down the throat of deep mid wicket. Off the bottom end of the bat, and Rashid Khan holds his nerve. You cannot keep him out of the game.

  • 19.1

    FOUR! Carlos Brathwaite to Shivam Mavi. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. Loads of width, in the slot, and carved over gully for a one bounce four! KKR still hanging on.

    SIX! Siddarth Kaul to Shubman Gill. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs.

    OUT! Bowled. Siddarth Kaul to Piyush Chawla. Half volley, to leg backing away driving, missed to. Sunrisers are on the brink of the final. Full, straight, and Chawla misses his drive.
