In the match, SRH captain David Warner won the toss and invited Kolkata to bat. Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill got KKR off to a solid start, stitching a 50-plus stand for the opening wicket. 

Gill fell for 15 but Rana kept going and slammed a stroke-filled half-century. In a bid to accelerate, Rana perished for 80.

He got good support from Rahul Tripathi who also scored a fine half-century. A late cameo from Dinesh Karthik (22 off nine balls) helped KKR to a competitive total of 187 for six from their allotted 20 overs. 

In reply, SRH lost their skipper Warner and Saha cheaply. Manish Pandey and Jonny Bairstow scored half-centuries to keep their side in the hunt but KKR bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals as SRH eventually fell 10 runs short of the 188-run target.
