Match 3: SRH VS KKR
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was successful in making a victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 3 of the VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
Jonny Bairstow and Manish Pandey played steadily, ending the powerplay with 35 runs on the board. Pandey hit a six against Shakib over long-off in the seventh over as SRH started to shift gears. Andre Russell, who bowled the next over, gave away 15 runs as Bairstow targeted him, hitting two fours and a six.
The Bairstow-Pandey duo brought up their fifty-run partnership and continued to score at an extreme pace. Although SRH were positively heading towards their target, Pat Cummins dismissed Bairstow to give KKR a vital breakthrough in the 13th over.
Further, with SRH needing a wicket, Warner introduced Rashid Khan into the attack in the seventh over. Rana notched up his half-century in style with a maximum, attacking the right-arm medium pacer, Vijay Shankar in the 10th over.
SRH then dismissed the KKR skipper Morgan on consecutive deliveries. Finally, Dinesh Karthik played really well in the end, scoring 22 off 9 deliveries thus making a win.
