KKR 98 runs win

Phil Salt and Sunil Narine’s quickfire runs led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 98 runs during an entertaining IPL match at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. When put into bat first inning by captain Rohit Sharma, Sunil Narine hit an outstanding 81 off 41 balls with six fours and seven sixes; off-spinner Phil Salt shared an opening over partnership of 79 between both players until KKR reached 100 without loss for just one wicket.

KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis’ impressive 82-run partnership in the second over provided some much-needed momentum for LSG; however, it quickly petered out as regular wickets fell for home side. After an initial 50-run second-wicket stand had seen some early promise restored, LSG innings rapidly unraveled before their late innings collapse with only Salt’s late surge and 25 from Ramandeep Singh providing any respite – they were eventually all out for just 137.

Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy led KKR’s charge with their spinners as they decimated LSG’s batting lineup to limit them under 200 runs scored. Both spinners claimed three wickets each while Andre Russell added another.

LSG were always going to face an uphill task in their chase of LSG’s target of 284, but any hopes of making a comeback quickly disappeared when key players such as captain KL Rahul and opener Deepak Hooda both perished cheaply as their team’s batting collapsed around them. Even Marcus Stoinis who scored 36 and had looked secure at the crease eventually fell prey to Yudhvir Singh’s bowling.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Phil Salt made an invaluable late push with a 67-run sixth wicket stand before Ravi Bishnoi was caught off Andre Russell’s bowling, leaving just 137 runs for LSG’s bowlers to bat with; which was their lowest batting performance ever in IPL history! With this win KKR notched their fourth victory of the season to move them up into second spot on the points table while getting closer to qualifying for playoffs with just two victories remaining before facing Delhi Capitals on Monday in their next matchup!
