Russell's attack revives KKR's hopes

April 27, 2018 22:57

KKR 118-5 (13 ovs) vs Delhi 219-4 | Scorecard

KKR's last remaining hope is the dangerous Andre Russell, who is capable of turning the match on it's head from any situation.

He makes his intentions clear by pulling Plunkett for a four through midwicket but the England pacer does well to concede just six runs from his third over.

Russell has warmed up nicely as he swings Avesh for two sixes over midwicket to take KKR past the 100-run mark, in the 12th over.

Delhi's main bowler Boult comes back as they look for the wicket of the dangerous Russell, who is threatening to cut loose.

But no stopping Russell as the West Indian smokes a full delivery back over the bowler's head for a straight six. The next ball is short as Russell chops it over point for a four followed by a single.

14 from the over, makes it 35 from the last three, as KKR reach 118 for five in 13 overs, needing another 102 runs from seven overs for victory.

Russell has blasted his way to 30 from 13 balls, while Gill has made 28 from 23 balls.
