I mean largely the first half was good. Dre Russ is always a threat. Showed his class. We tried to create partnerships but KKR were really good. We have been struggling with creating momentum in the last few games. Sundar stepped up in the last over. Using our resources a little early didn't work for us today. We wanted to get off to a good start. We wanted to get some momentum. There were glimpses and signs but wasn't to be. The run rate got up and we were not able to pull it back. The game teaches us lessons and I am learning it right now.
Last over and Russell to bowl. Quite poetic that he'll be the one to wrap things up. Helped his team with the bat and now with the ball with 3 wickets. Bhuvneshwar starts with a four and that is followed by 2 dots. All over. KKR win by 54 runs
That's another one that goes straight up in the air but oh dear!! That's dropped. Should have been a comfortable catch for Mavi but what are you going to do. SRH 117/8 after 19 overs.
Another Hyderabad batter bites the dust as Shashank Singh hits a mistimed shot and the skipper Shreyas Iyer comfortably takes the catch off Southee's ball. SRH 113/8 after 18.1 overs.
Is that wicket number 3 for Russell??? Yes it is!!! Jansen went for the big heave-ho, gets the inside edge of the bat and that's gone straight to the keeper for the simplest of catches. SRH 113/7 after 17.5 overs.
That's another wicket for Russell as Washington Sundar tries to hit this one hard, gets the toe of the bat and Venkatesh Iyer takes a very easy catch in the deep. SRH: 107/6 after 17.1 overs.
We are back from strategic time out and Southee will bowl the 17th. 4 runs from the first 3 balls. And that's gone!!! The umpire thinks about it before raising his finger. Looked close though. Hyderabad review. Yeah, that's too high. Decision overturned. Shashank survives. SRH 107/5 after 17 overs.
That's another one gone as Umesh strikes. Markram was looking very dangerous as he hit two sixes in Varun's over and started Umesh's over with anotyer 6. Umesh gets the last laugh though. Clean bowled him. SRH 99/5 after 14.4 overs.
Another down!!! Narine gets the huge wicket of Pooran. Totally foxed him for another caught and bowled. Hyderabad are wobbling now. SRH 76/4 after 12.3 overs
Chakaravarthy gets the big wicket of the dangerous Abhishek Sharma as he is caught by Sam Billings. Huge wicket in the circumstances. SRH 72/3 after 11.5 overs.
10th over now and Russell will bowl this one and bang!!! That's hit for a four by Sharma. Beautifully timed. Just 9 off this over ultimately as SRH post 66/2 after 10 overs.
Southee to bowl the 9th over and that's caught and bowled. Tripathi hits the ball hard and what a catch by Southee on the followthrough. SRH 54/2 after 8.2 overs.
Narine in to bowl the 8th and Tripathi starts with 2 runs. Tripathi rotates the strike and Sharma knocks the next ball out of the park for a six!!! Made it look very easy. Next ball, the same result. Just hits it over the bowler's head for another six!!! SRH 54/1 after 8 overs.
Varun Chakaravarthy in to bowl the 7th and he starts off with a dot ball. Tripathi hits him straight for a boundary in the 3rd ball. Just 7 from this over. SRH 37/1 after 7 overs.
Last over of the powerplay and Russell has been brought into the attack. And yes!!! He cleans up Williamson. Tries to play a scoop over the keeper's head and departs. SRH 30/1 after 5.2 overs
Umesh in to bowl the penultimate over inside the powerplay as Kolkata look for wickets. Isn't really forthcoming at the moment as Hyderabad batters have navigated him quite well. SRH 30/0 after 5 overs
Narine in to bowl the 4th and that's played over his head for a four by Sharma. Just 10 runs from the wily's veteran's over ultimately. Hyderabad ticking along. SRH 27/0 after 4 overs.
Umesh in to bowl the 3rd over. Ohhhhhhh!! Nearly a caught and bowled. Umesh couldn't quite get a hold of that followthrough. Next ball, Williamson punches him for a four. SRH 17/0 after 3 overs.
Tim Southee in to bowl the second and Sharma smacks him straightaway for a four. Is that a drop? That fell just short of an advancing Russell. Sharma hits another four to end the over. SRH 11/0 after 2 overs.
