After 15 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 104/3 ( Shreyas Iyer (C) 8 , Sam Billings 11)
A bit easy for KKR right now. They are getting the quota of runs that’s needed per over. 6 runs off the Jadeja over. 28 needed off 30 balls.
After 14 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 98/3 ( Shreyas Iyer (C) 6 , Sam Billings 7)
A decent over from Santner. He conceded 5 runs in the over. CSK lost a review in that over as the umpire turned an LBW appeal down while Billings looked to reverse sweep one. Replays showed it had hit Billings’ gloves. CSK are building up some pressure but KKR still pretty much in driver’s seat with less than 6 runs required an over. 34 needed off 36 balls.
After 13 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 93/3 ( Shreyas Iyer (C) 5 , Sam Billings 3)
CSK need more wickets. The required rate is below six. KKR can do this in singles. Santner picked the wicket of Rahane in the 12th over. Jadeja then bowled a tight over to give away just three singles. 10 runs and a wicket off the last 2 overs. 39 needed off 42 balls.
OUT! A soft dismissal. Rahane departs. A big wicket for CSK. A touch short on middle and leg, Rahane gets back and whips it straight to short mid-wicket where Jadeja takes a good reflex catch.
After 11 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 83/2 ( Ajinkya Rahane 41 , Shreyas Iyer (C) 1)
CSK picked up a wicket but KKR have got the scoreboard ticking. KKR score 6 runs off the Bravo over which saw him take the wicket of Rana. Rahane then gets a boundary off the Jadeja over as he reverse sweeps one wide of backward point. KKR take 7 runs from the Jadeja over. 13 runs and a wicket off the last two overs.
OUT! Bravo gets his second and gets a much-needed breakthrough. Rana is caught at short fine leg. Short on the leg stump, Rana looks to pull but gets the shoulder of the bat and miscues it to short fine leg where Rayudu makes no mistake.
