Match highlights

Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and chose to bowl first and the Sunrisers Hyderabad then put on a show. Harry Brook led the way with an unbeaten 100 off 55 balls while captain Aiden Markram scored 50 in 26 and Abhishek Sharma smashed 32 off 17. Heinrich Klaasen also chipped in with an unbeaten 16 off six balls.

For KKR, it was Andre Russell who was the highest wicket-taker with three scalps but he had to be helped off the pitch after bowling the first ball of the third over. Given a target of 229 to chase, KKR has got off to a sluggish start to their chase and Venkatesh Iyer is trying to change that situation. While he couldn't do much in that department, it is Captain Nitish Rana who has kept them alive along with Narayan Jagadeesan first and then Rinku Singh.

Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), N Jagadeesan, Nitish Rana(c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, Suyash Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakaravarthy
