Dominant KKR racing towards victory
May 26, 2024 22:32
KKR 106-2 (9 ovs) SRH 113 | Scorecard
Left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed comes into the attack. The second ball goes right through beating Gurbaz on the inside edge and also the wicketkeeper for four byes.
The next ball is down the leg side as Gurbaz sweeps it over the fine leg region for a six and flicks the next for one.
Venkatesh skips down the track and has a big swing but misses and is struck on the pads to collect a leg bye and Gurbaz defends the last ball.
Left-arm pacer Unadkat comes into the attack, to bowl the eighth over.
Venkatesh and Gurbaz take a single each before the former is beaten as he looks the slog the pacer over midwicket but is done in by the change of pace.
Venkatesh hits the fourth ball in the gap through the covers for two runs followed by a single.
Gurbaz pulls the last ball, a slower bouncer, over midwicket to end the over with a boundary.
Spinner Shahbaz continues as Venkatesh inside edges the first ball on the leg side for two runs and then misses the reverse off the next to collect a leg bye.
Gurbaz comes down and lofts Shahbaz back over his head for a six to take KKR past the 100-run mark, in the ninth over.
Gurbaz misses the sweep off the fifth ball as the ball goes fine off his pads for four leg byes. Infact, he has been given out leg before wicket before Gurbaz takes the review.
Interestingly, the ball tracking data is not available and even the Ultra Edge. The TV umpire says there is no conclusive evidence to overturn the decision as the leg before wicket stays.
Gurbaz walks back disappointed after a good hand of 39 from 32 balls, after putting on 91 from 45 balls for the second wicket with Venkatesh.
Shreyas Iyer reverse sweeps the first ball he faces, as he slams Shahbaz over short thirdman for a four.
