17th over
Hardik is in to bowl his final over. Aand Pandey welcomes him with a huge SIX! Hardik follows it up with a wide but MI has opted for a review. The decision stays and MI loses a review. HARDIK STRIKES RIGHT BACK! Pandey perishes as he is deceived for pace and miscues it to Brewis at extra covers. Andre Russell is in next. That is one way to make an entrance! SIX! Pandya goes short and wide, Russell slashes his bat and gets the desired connection as the ball sails over the ropes. Iyer moves to his right, Hardik adjusts his line but it doesn’t matter as Iyer picks it up and smokes it past the fence. HUGE MIX UP! Iyer tried a switch hit and initiated a run, as Russell was half way through, he was sent back. Before Russel could make it to the non-strikers end, Hardik collected the ball and castled the stumps. RUSSEL WALKS BACK! Ramandeep Singh is the next batter in.
Manish Pandey c sub (D Brevis) b Pandya 42 (31b 2x4 2x6) SR: 135.48
Andre Russell run out (Thushara/Pandya) 7 (2b 0x4 1x6) SR: 350
KKR 133/5 in 16 overs
Thushara back in action, replaces Bumrah. Venkatesh Iyer gets to his half century with a single, he has taken 36 balls. Thushara bowls an over the waist no ball. Short and outside off Pandey lofts it and gets a single from it. Just five came off the over
KKR 128/5 in 15 overs
Hardik continues. Three runs off the first two deliveries, including a double. Hardik goes short this time, Pandey tries to replicate the ramp shot from last over but misses, dot. Single to finish the over. Strategic timeout
KKR 121/5 in 14 overs
Bumrah back into the attack, replaces Coetzee. He directs it towards Pandey’s thigh pad and he flicks it to deep midwicket for a FOUR. Short and that’s put away for a SIX! Pandey just had to ensure he got the elevation right. Good over for KKR, 13 off the over
KKR 108/5 in 13 overs
Hardik returns, replaces Chawla. Starts off with a dot and follows it up with a wide but MI goes upstairs and that’s spot on, the decision is reversed as the ball was within the reach of Pandey. Eight runs came from that over
KKR 100/5 in 12 overs
Coetzee replaces Naman. He goes short and on the body but Iyer anticipates it to perfection and pulls it for a FOUR. Full and pitched outside, Iyer gets his bat to it and it was running away but Tilak’s dive saves a couple of runs. Outside off yet again, Iyer steps out and goes inside out to end the over with a maximum! And that brings up KKR’s 100 as well
KKR 91/5 in 11 overs
Chawla continues. Down the legside yet again, Iyer comes down the track and chips it deep to get a double. Wrong-un this time, it’s down the legs as well but Iyer flicks it fine as the ball races away to the boundary! Iyer steps out, goes through the line and smacks straight but SKY’s brilliant effort at long-off restricts it to just a single
KKR 84/5 in 10 overs
Wide and outside off from Naman and its put away for a FOUR through the cover region, easy pickings for Pandey. Towards the pads, Iyer flicks it and finds the gap to collect a quick double
KKR 72/5 in 9 overs
Chawla to Venkatesh, one run. Nearly another caught and bowled. The batter punches down the ground off his back foot but gets it in the air. Thankfully for him, it goes wide of the bowler. Just four runs from it.
KKR 68/5 in 8 overs
Naman Dhir again. Eight runs from the over. The batters duly focussing on picking the singles now to keep the scorecard running.

KKR 60/5 in 7 overs
WICKET! Piyush Chawla strikes first ball. Rinku Singh looks to work the ball through the on side but the wrong one gets him to hand a leading edge back to the bowler.
Rinku Singh c & b Chawla 9(8)
Manish Pandey in the middle now. He is the KKR Impact Sub. He drives the first ball to deep cover to get off the mark. Venkatesh gets the ball between deep mid wicket and long on to get two runs.
KKR 57/4 in 6 overs
Naman Dhir for the first time. Venkatesh taps the first delivery wide of mid on for a single. Rinku flicks the fourth off the front foot to collect a run. FOUR! Venkatesh picks a boundary with a sweep, some help for him too as Piyush Chawla misfields at square leg.
KKR 51/4 in 5 overs
Hardik to Narine, SIX! Short ball and Narine smokes it over square leg. BOWLED HIM! Another back of a length delivery but this time Narine does not connect. The leg stump is flattened.
Sunil Narine b Pandya 8 (8)
Rinku Singh in next. FOUR! Rinku gets it on the pads and he swipes it away down fine leg. FOUR more! Width on offer for Rinku and uses his levers to loft it through the off side.
KKR 37/3 in 4 overs
Gerald Coetzee to bowl the next. Narine gets the first delivery through mid wicket to get off strike. FOUR! Venkatesh Iyer off the mark with a cover drive. He’s beaten trying to slash outside off on the next delivery. FOUR more! Driven again but this time between cover and mid off.
KKR 28/3 in 3 overs
Thushara to Angkrish, SIX! Angling down leg and the batter just guides it over fine leg. GONE! Angkrish holes out at covers. A soft dismissal!
Angkrish Raghuvanshi c Suryakumar b Thushara 13(6)
Deft! Shreyas Iyer carves the ball through third man region. Clips the next off his pads for two runs. GONE! Thushara gets his third and the KKR captain is on his way back. It is full and on Shreyas’ pads which he chips straight to mid on.
Shreyas Iyer c David b Thushara 6 (4)
KKR 16/1 in 2 overs
A tidy start from Bumrah. Angkrish was nearly played on after getting an inside edge but the ball flew wide of the stumps.
KKR 14/1 in 1 over
Thushara to Salt, one run. Drives it on the up and it hangs in the air but flies wide of the point fielder. A leg bye to fine leg for Narine. FOUR! Driven down the ground by Salt, it is in the air again but beats mid off. A wide down leg next. OUT! Salt top edges the next and Tilak Varma runs back from point to collect that even after colliding with Naman Dhir.
Phil Salt c Tilak Varma b Thushara 5 (3)
Angkrish Raghuvanshi in at No. 3. Another wide down the leg side. Beaten outside off on the next. Angkrish pulls the next for SIX!
