Kartik Tyagi to Ishan Kishan, no run, 118ks slower short of length delivery
7.4

Kartik Tyagi to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. This was touch and go. Full pitcher around off, Kishan wanted to go over mid-off as the fielder was inside the ring, does not quite middle it but gets enough to evade the leaping fielder

Kartik Tyagi to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, nicely done! 146.2ks very full and outside off, close to yorker length, Kishan bends down and reaches it, squeezes it to the right of backward point and beats the diving fielder

Kartik Tyagi to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, the off-pace delivery is not working for Kartik. He went for runs against Head as well. 117.3ks slower ball bowled into the surface, sits up nicely and Kishan nails the pull in front of square, splits the two fielders in the deep perfectly
7.1
Kartik Tyagi to Ishan Kishan, no run, 143.3ks good length ball angled across, Kishan throws his bat and is beaten on the outside-edge. Not much bounce on this delivery as it barely carries to Raghuvanshi

Timeout! This is the Sunrisers Hyderabad we have come to know in the last few years. Head got them going, giving Abhishek the time to settle in, and once that happened, it was absolute carnage as the pair recorded the highest powerplay score of the season. Kartik broke the dangerous stand and gave Kolkata Knight Riders some respite, but Abhishek has carried on and just taken Narine apart. 220-230 seems par on this surface and anything more will be a challenging chase.

Sunil Narine to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, once again Narine misses his line and is made to pay. 94.6ks short and around leg, Abhishek swivels around in the crease and pulls it high towards deep square leg. He gets the distance as well..
Big knock from Abhishek
The SRH opener is in full flow. He will continue to play his shots and expect the southpaw to score 80+ View Complete Forecast...

Sunil Narine to Abhishek Sharma, no run, slower and the ball stops a bit, Abhishek is early into the push and checks his shot, angles it to backward point

Sunil Narine to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, bad delivery and put away. Very small margin for error. 90ks short of length and angling away, Abhishek had the width and he flays it over extra cover. There's a valiant dive in the deep by Anukul but he's nowhere close to stopping that

Sunil Narine to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, 92.4ks flatter and at the stumps, Kishan moves across and clips it to deep mid-wicket

Kartik Tyagi to Travis Head, out Caught by Cameron Green!! Finally Eden Garden finds its voice. Loud cheer as Green hangs on. The partnership has been broken. Kartik is pumped. Much needed wicket for the home side. 142.2ks back of a length delivery, angled across the left-hander, Head tries to fetch the flat-batted shot and loses his grip, the bottom hand comes off the bat handle, he gets the shot off the cue-end and the ball goes straight up, Green backtracks from mid-on and hangs on safely. A nice little cameo from Head comes to an end. Travis Head c Cameron Green b Kartik Tyagi 46(21) [4s-6 6s-3]
Kartik Tyagi to Travis Head, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
