KKR outshines SRH to script a seven-wicket win

Our Correspondent

Kolkata Knight Riders registered their first IPL victory on September 26 with a seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at Abu Dhabi. Chasing a meagre 143, they reached their target with two overs to spare.

KKR opener Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 70 came from 62 deliveries and was studded with five boundaries and two sixes, while England captain Eoin Morgan made an unbeaten 42 off 29 balls with three boundaries and two sixes. Together they put 92 runs for the fourth wicket.

Gill, who was adjudged man of the match, scored his fifth IPL half-century.

After electing to bat, SRH could cobble up only a below-par total of 142 for 4 in 20 overs. No.3 batsman Manish Pandey’s half-century (51 from 38 balls) went in vain. Opener and captain David Warner made 36, while keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha scored 30.
SRH, a former IPL champion, is now the only team without a win so far.
