Bengaluru, Oct. 3: The Kolkata Knight Riders notched up an important six-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in match no. 49 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
With the IPL 2021 league stage reaching its business end and a cluster of teams fighting it out for the one final place left for the playoffs, the Knights ended up on the right side of the match today, going home with two important points.
The win saw Kolkata remain fourth on the points table with 12 points from 13 matches. Sunrisers, who are already out of the playoffs race, fell to their tenth loss of the season.
After being asked to bowl first, the Knight Riders bowlers, led by the spinners put up a clinical show to restrict Sunrisers to a paltry total of 115/8.
Tim Southee handed KKR a strong start removing SRH opener Wriddhiman Saha for a duck on just the second ball of SRH's innings. Though had Saha reviewed it, the SRH opener would have been safe. Jason Roy failed to click Shivam Mavi removed the opener for just 10 off 13 in the fourth over.
Skipper Kane Williamson (26 off 21) top scored for the Sunrisers, before a stellar runout by Shakib al Hasan saw the skipper back in the dugout. The Hyderabad batsmen failed to get going as they lost regular wickets. Abdul Samad's 25 off 18 saw SRH reach 115/8 in 20 overs. Southee, Mavi and Varun Chakravarthy pocketed two wickets each to keep SRH in check.
In reply, Shubman Gill played a match-winning knock to guide Kolkata home. Though the chase was a tricky one, the Gill's 57 off 51 set the stage for a win. Nitish Rana played a patient knock at the other end - 25 off 33 - to keep the scoreboard ticking.
Former skipper Dinesh Karthik's quickfire 18 off 12 in the end saw the Knights pocket two important points.
Here's how the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL match played out:
