April 26, 2024 20:17

KKR 105-0 (8 Ovs) vs PBKS | Scorecard

With spin introduced into the attack, Rahul Chahar takes on the responsibility of providing the breakthrough. Narine starts the over by pushing the ball to point for no run, but the next delivery meets a different fate as Salt dispatches it to the boundary.

Attempting a reverse sweep, Narine misses the ball completely, but he manages to get a single off the next delivery. Salt receives another life as Rabada drops a catch, marking the third drop of the night. Rabada, positioned at backward point, is the unfortunate fielder this time.

The over concludes with a single, adding 7 runs to KKR's total. At the end of 7 overs, KKR stands at 83-0, continuing their strong start.

Rabada returns to the attack but starts with back-to-back wides, giving KKR an early advantage. Despite the erratic start, Narine swings wildly and misses the next delivery.

Narine then manages to find the gap, hitting a boundary just wide of the diving deep point fielder. With another boundary, he reaches his fifty in just 23 balls, showcasing his dominance at the crease. He follows it up with a single to rotate the strike.

Salt, not to be outdone, gets into his rhythm and ends the over with a boundary and a massive six, further boosting KKR's score.

A total of 22 runs come off the over, taking KKR's total to 105-0 after 8 overs. The opening pair's relentless onslaught continues, putting immense pressure on the bowling side.
