A resounding win for KKR and they keep their 100% win record against SRH at the Eden Gardens intact.
They come out winners by 17 runs.
SRH struggled to find boundaries in the first 6 overs. Things didn't improve much after the powerplay either.
Warner and Dhawan did try and build a solid foundation at the start but once the spinners arrived, they were tied down with some great accuracy, and apart from Yuvraj, most of the batsmen struggled against some accurate bowling.
Overall, SRH lost by 17 runs on a track where Uthappa scored 68 off 39.
The man of the match for this game is Robin Uthappa
Here is what he has to say in the post match presentation:
“
I have been hitting the ball really well. Finally after years of hardwork, I feel settled with my new technique and really feeling comfortable.
”
Thus, a great win for KKR and they stamp their authority over this fixture yet again.
