END OF OVER:
20 | 16 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 163/5 | RR: 8.15

  • Dinesh Karthik29 (14b)
  • Basil Thampi4-0-46-1
  • T Natarajan4-0-40-2

Rishi: "Cummins vs Bairstow will be a key battle upfront"

Luqman: "Gill has to shift gears after facing 15 balls. He stayed too long on the crease. "

Amit: "Just a shade below par, this total. I'd back SRH to get it. "

Zubair: "Predictor was bang on target. 163 it is!!!"

JUZER BATLIWALA: "the 5th bowler of SRH - Shankar - turned out to be the most economical one and kept KKR total to a par one."

KKRfan: "I think this is KKR's best bowling attack considering the conditions this IPL and their player's form . They should back themselves to defend this."

3:52pm 16 come off the last over and that gets KKR over 160. That includes 58 off the last five overs, which shows how difficult they found it to get the scoring away in the middle overs.The pitch showed glimpses of slowness and they made sure to bowl into the pitch to encumber any attacking shots. Vijay Shankar in particular was responsible for that. Gill found it hard to switch gears before he fell, and at one point KKR's bet on Russell up the order also fell apart. It took Karthik's cameo at the end and Morgan's final over flourish to get them up to what should be a decent total to defend.

Basil Thampi to Morgan, OUT, taken at long-off. Good length ball outside off, hammed flat on the up and straight into Pandey's lap as he runs in from the boundary

EJG Morgan c Pandey b Basil Thampi 34 (23b 3x4 1x6) SR: 147.82

Basil Thampi to Morgan, 2 runs, yorker at middle stump, squeezed down to long-on with the angle
19.4
6
Basil Thampi to Morgan, SIX, lofted with the angle over square leg. Three yorkers missed, and this is one better from Mogan's perspective, because it's angled right into his pads. Waits on it and swishes from under that
19.3
2
Basil Thampi to Morgan, 2 runs, overpitched on middle stump, mistimed slog off the inside half. Long-on runs to his left and parries it in with two hands as it bounces up to his left. Pushes it into deep midwicket's path
19.2
4
Basil Thampi to Morgan, FOUR, full outside off, makes room and drills this over the bowler. Pandey sprints to his left, gets low and flicks this past long-on who was converging. They run an extra run as a result, but his foot was also on the boundary padding as he was letting the ball go. So that will be four probably. Looks like he had a fingertip on that as his knee made contact with the padding

Purv Negandhi: "Karthik is playing an absolute gem here..well played"

19.1
2
Basil Thampi to Morgan, 2 runs, high full toss at middle stump, miscued slog to long-off's left. Off the high part of the inside half

Thampi to finish, around the wicket

6
Natarajan to Karthik, SIX, mistimed slog clears long-on. Full slower ball wide outside off. He was deep in the crease again to set up behind this outside off. Was into the swing a little early because of the pace, but he went through with it and it landed quite a way behind long-on
18.5
1lb
Natarajan to Morgan, 1 leg bye, full and into leg stump, looks to whip that behind square and misses out. Crashes into the pad and deflects into the off side. Natarajan missed the yorker on this, he gets away

18.3
1
Natarajan to Karthik, 1 run, digs the slower ball in at a length, angled across off stump. Looks to lace it through the covers but that pings off the inside half and ends up long-on
18.2

Natarajan to Karthik, no run, good length, cutter, wide outside off. Steps into the off side for the sweep again but is beaten this time
18.1
