IPL Highlights, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson Leads Hyderabad To Victory vs Kolkata
IPL Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Highlights: SRH beat KKR by 5 wickets
Kane Williamson starred with a valiant half-century guiding Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a 5-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Saturday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Chasing 139 run-target set by KKR, Wriddhiman Saha (24) gave a solid start to the Sunrisers. Saha was eventually dismissed in the 4th over by KKR bowler Sunil Narine. Shikhar Dhawan was the next to depart for SRH after Narine clean bowled him for 7 runs. Shakib Al Hasan was the next batsman for Sunrisers and he ably supported skipper Williamson in the run-chase. Narine returned with bowling figures of 2/17 while Piyush Chawla (1/20), Mitchell Johnson (1/30) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/23) shared a wicket each. Deepak Hooda (5) and Yusuf Pathan (17) ensured the visitors crossed the finishing line to ensure their third win in this season of the IPL. (SCORECARD)
Earlier, India pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets as SRHÂ made the most of hour-long rain break and some excellent catching by Manish Pandey to restrict Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to 138/8 in 20 overs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) game at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. Kumar (3/26) -- returning to the team after recovering from a sore back -- was ably supported by pacer Billy Stanlake (2/21) and Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan (2/21) also taking two wickets. Highly-rated leg-spinner Rashid Khan went wicketless, leaking 31 runs. Former KKR batsman Pandey took two outstanding catches to send Nitish Rana (18; 16b 2x4 1x6) and Andre Russell (9; 5b 0x4 1x6) -- who hit a 36-ball 88 in the last game -- back in the hut as SRH bowlers reined in after skies opened up to halt play for 58 minutes when KKR were going steady at 52/1.

19:18 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog updates of the tenth match of this season's Indian Premier League (IPL) between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
But in SRH, they will have an opponent that has made it two wins in as many matches with a thrilling one-wicket victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday night. The win took them to the top of the standings as they have better-run rate than Chennai Super Kings, who too have four points. Having restricted MI to 147/8, SRH made heavy weather of a chase-able target but in the end, rode Deepak Hooda's unbeaten 25-ball 32 to get past the line. It was a nail-biting end as Billy Stanlake scored the winning run off the last ball. Needing 11 off the final over, bowled by Ben Cutting, Hooda started with a huge six over the long-off which was followed by a wide ball. SRH seemed to be in control as they needed four off the final five balls, but they could manage just four off the next four deliveries. It was down to Stanlake then and the Aussie pacer held his nerves to loft a slower delivery over mid-wicket to seal the game for the hosts. SRH's strength lies in their bowling which has a lot of variety. Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who bowled 18 dot balls against MI, is a prime example.
Teams:
SRH: Kane Williamson (Captain), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Manish Pandey, Rashid Khan Arman, Shikhar Dhawan, Wriddhiman Saha (wicket-keeper), Sandeep Sharma, Shakib Al Hasan, Carlos Brathwaite, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Nabi Eisakhil, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Billy Stanlake, Siddharth Kaul, Deepak Hooda, Syed Khaleel Ahmed, Shreevats Goswami, Basil Thampi, T. Natarajan, Bipul Sharma, Mehdi Hasan, Ricky Bhui, Sachin Baby, Tanmay Agarwal.
KKR: Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Chris Lynn, Dinesh Karthik (Captain & wicket-keeper), Robin Uthappa, Kuldeep Yadav, Piyush Chawla, Nitish Rana, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi, Mitchell Johnson, Shubman Gill, Vinay Kumar, Rinku Singh, Cameron Delport, Javon Searless, Apoorv Wankhade, Ishank Jaggi, Tom Curran.
