April 21, 2019 17:43

KKR 159-8 (20 ovs) vs Sunrisers | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar to bowl the 19th over. He starts with a leg side wide to Russell before the West Indian clips a full toss over square leg for a six.

The next ball is clipped to fine leg but Russell turns down the single, having seen how Chawla struggled in the previous over.

Bhuvneshwar drops sort as Russell swats it over the square leg fence for another six.

But the bowler has the last laugh as Russell hits a full toss straight into the hands of Rashid at deep midwicket to perish for 15 from nine balls.

Strange tactics from KKR to send the in-form Russell so late down in the order as he hardly got any time or strike to make an impact.

Debutant Yarra Prithivraj blocks the last ball as Bhuvi concedes 12 runs but manages to pick up the key wicket of Russell.

Rashid to bowl the final over. Chawla swings the first ball over square leg for a four before he defends the next.

Chawla then goes for the reverse sweep but gets an edge and is caught behind by wicketkeeper Bairstow for four.

KC Cariappa top edges the slog sweep which goes over the wicketkeeper for two runs before he lofts the next over long-on for a six and then slog sweeps the last for a single to deep midwicket.

KKR finish on a below-par 159 for eight in their 20 overs.
