It might be hoping against hope, but the Kolkata Knight Riders are not ready to call it quits yet. The KKR bowlers' excellent work helped them exact sweet revenge on Sunrisers Hyderabad and keep them alive in this IPL by recording a 54-run victory at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Saturday.
The road ahead became more difficult for SRH as they suffered their fifth consecutive defeat.
The SRH bowling unit, back to its full strength with the return of T Natarajan, Marco Jansen and Washington Sundar, should get credit for making good use of the yorker to keep the KKR big-hitters quiet for most of the innings after they opted to bat first.
It was the 66-run sixth-wicket stand between Sam Billings and Andre Russell that actually made the difference and saw KKR putting up a fighting score of 177 for six. The West Indian allrounder came good with the ball too, finishing with three for 22.
