Harshal Patel returns to the attack, but Narine welcomes him with a boundary to maintain KKR's momentum. However, he fails to connect with the next delivery.

Harshal delivers a slower one, but Narine reads it well and smashes a massive six, forcing a change of the ball. Despite the change, Narine continues his onslaught, backing it up with a single. Harshal's next delivery is also dispatched for a huge six.

However, Harshal errs with a wide delivery, resulting in a no-ball. Although the subsequent free hit doesn't yield any more runs, Salt manages to collect a single.

Chahar is reintroduced into the attack, and Salt starts with a single. But Narine, attempting another big hit, skies the ball, presenting a straightforward catch to Bairstow, who takes it comfortably. Narine departs after a blistering innings of 71 off just 32 balls, providing the much-needed breakthrough for the bowling side.

Venkatesh Iyer is promoted to No. 3 in the batting order, but he starts his innings by getting beaten by a good delivery. However, he quickly finds his rhythm and gets off the mark with a boundary.

A leg-bye is also called, adding to KKR's total. Salt ends the over with a single, consolidating the team's position.

A total of 7 runs and a wicket come off the over, with KKR reaching 144-1 after 11 overs. Despite losing Narine's wicket, they continue to score briskly.
