April 26, 2024 20:04

KKR 76-0 (6 Ovs) vs PBKS | Scorecard

Curran returns to the attack, hoping to stem the flow of runs and provide his team with a breakthrough. However, Salt continues his aggressive approach, missing the first delivery but slamming the next one for a boundary.

Despite Curran's efforts, Salt manages to add a single towards point. Curran attempts a yorker to Narine, who squeezes out a single. Salt remains undeterred, slapping a short ball away to deep midwicket for another single.

Narine ends the over with yet another boundary, maintaining KKR's momentum.

A total of 11 runs come off the over, taking KKR's score to 70-0 after 5 overs. The pressure is mounting on the bowling side as the opening pair continues their onslaught.

As the humidity takes its toll, a quick drinks break is called. Arshdeep takes the ball for the last over of the powerplay, hoping to make an impact. However, Salt continues his aggressive batting display, treating him as he has treated the other bowlers, with a boundary.

Arshdeep responds well with a good comeback, delivering a yorker and three consecutive dot balls, applying pressure on Salt. However, Salt gets a reprieve as he's dropped by Curran, giving him a life on 34 runs.

Despite the missed chance, Arshdeep manages to concede only a single off the last ball of the over.

A total of 6 runs come off the over, concluding the powerplay with KKR at 76-0.
