Live Cricket Score - KKR vs RR, Match 54, IPL 2020

That's all from us tonight. Until next time, ciao!

Pat Cummins is the Man of the Match.

Big win for KKR

Morgan with the bat and Cummins with the ball were KKR's heroes tonight. With 1000 on the board after 13 overs, KKR were in deep trouble but Morgan and Russell counterattacked, and how! They finished with 191, Morgan leading the way with an unbeaten 68. It was a very competitive score to finish with but in front of them was a team that had mastered the art of tall chases this season. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be tonight for RR. The wheels came off early, in the powerplay itself, with half the team back in the hut in first-five. Cummins, who had struggled to justify his price tag for large part of the season, was the star there, taking four of those five wickets. It was a tough blow to recover from, despite Tewatia and Buttler and later Shreyas Gopal showing some fight. 191 did eventually prove too tall a mountain to climb for them as they fell short by 60. KKR have done their NRR a favour too with this big win, but not enough to enjoy the two remaining games stress free.

KKR win by 60 runs

And that's a massive win by T20 standards. But more importantly, it's the end of the road for RR. They fall to eighth spot from the fifth, CSK are now seventh and KKR have leapfrogged from eighth to straight into top-four. They have done everything that was in their hands to give themselves the best possible shot at a top-four finish. Now they'll be watching the two remaining games closely because they don't have a very great NRR.

Inching closer

Mavi gets his second wicket tonight and KKR are now just a wicket away from top-four. Right from the bottom slot they currently occupy. Of course that still doesn't guarantee a top-four finish. Such has been this IPL. Such has been 2020.

Nagarkoti gets his first

It's Jofra Archer, who can wield the long handle. But not tonight. RR edge closer towards defeat and exit gate, unfortunately.

Chakravarthy gets Tewatia too

This was coming, wasn't it? He had no support left so Tewatia decides to go big. Attempted a slog sweep but the ball was wide and he had to fetch it. Gets an edge through to the keeper. No miracles tonight, then. RR are 105/7. Only a matter of time now...

Buttler departs

A brief recovery for RR and now KKR have managed to break the partnership with the big wicket of Jos Buttler. Varun Chakravarthy claims his first tonight. RR in deep, deep trouble now. Tewatia is their very last hope. Buttler tried to pull to midwicket but can't clear the fielder. Cummins has his fourth

Cummins had definitely saved his best for the last! Morgan wanted to sneak another over in the powerplay from his best bowler on the night and he's delivered! Takes out Riyan Parag with a bouncer. Parag was only trying to duck, but the ball takes a top edge and goes straight to Karthik. Easy catch. KKR on top. Well on top. But RR have Rahul Tewatia still.

Mavi into the action now

Samson nicks behind for just 1 and RR have lost their fourth on just 32! KKR now in with a big chance to give their NRR a big boost, unless there's another twist in this tale.

Third for Cummins!

He's come back very strongly after the caning in the first five balls. This time he has Steve Smith chopping on against a back of a length delivery. KKR all over RR now as they slip to 32/3.

WICKET: Karthik stunner ends Stokes' stay

It's Pat Cummins who strikes again, getitng Stokes to get a thick outside edge. It looked to be flying to the third man fence but Dinesh Karthik lunges out full length and sticks his left glove to pluck out a stunner!

Wicket and 19 from the first over!

Pat Cummins manages to come back and strike off the last ball as Uthappa flicks straight to deep square leg. But the five previous balls yielded 19 as Stokes and Uthappa got stuck in. Rajasthan will keep going hard, they have no other choice.

Here's something to track
