KKR 155-4 (16 ovs) vs CSK 178-5 | Scorecard


Fast bowler Asif comes back. He starts with a short ball as Shubman pulls it high over midwicket for a six. Three balls later, he cuts a short ball over thirdman as Rayudu leaps high but can't hold on as he ends up tipping it over the ropes for another maximum.

Asif fails to learn from his mistakes. He keeps dropping short and Karthik this time pulls it comfortably over the fine leg fence for the third six of the over, which goes for 21 runs.

KKR are comfortably placed on 141 for four in 15 overs, needing 37 runs from five overs for victory.

Gill drives Jadeja wide of mid-off for two runs to race to his maiden half-century in IPL from just 32 balls. The next ball is pitched as Gill slaps it through the covers for a four before taking one on the off-side.

Karthik makes room initially before he shuffles across and sweeps Jadeja fine for two runs. He reverse sweeps the last ball fine for a boundary as Karthik races to 23 from nine balls.

Karthik clips the last ball to deep midwicket for one as Jadeja goes for 14 in his final over.

KKR have changed gears quite efficiently, hitting 46 runs from the last three overs, to take the total to 155 for four in 16 overs, needing 23 from the last four overs for victory.
