In the 25th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Su𒆙nrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defౠeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by seven wickets at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium on Friday.
Chasing 176, the Sunrisers lost both openers – Abhishek Sharma (3) and Kane Williamson (17) – early inside the powerplay. Before the Knight Riders could capitalise further, Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram led SRH’s comeback in the game.
The duo formed a dominating stand of 94 runs for the third wicket to take the momentum away from the Knight Riders. Tripathi was looking well set to cruise through, but Andre Russell dismissed him to give some relief to KKR.
However, it wasn’t enough as Mar𓂃kram stayed unbeaten at 68 off 36 to take Sunrisers over the line with seven wickets in hand.
Earlier, Nitish Rana and Andre Russell powered the Knight Riders to a competiti𒆙ve total after a shaky start. Rana roared back into form and 🍰smashed a tremendous half-century. He made 54 from 36 deliveries with the help of 6 fours and a couple of sixes.
Similarly, Russell provided the finishing touch w💎ith a blistering unbeaten knock of 49 runs off 25 balls. The Caribbean all-rounder sl🍬ammed eight boundaries, including 4 sixes, to help KKR post 175/8 in their allotted 20 overs.
