  SRH vs KKR Live Score: KKR wins

  With seven runs needed off three balls, the tension was palpable. The bowler delivered a good length ball against Markande, who attempted a scoop shot but missed the ball entirely. Markande then tried to go straight, but could only manage a single run. With six runs needed off the last ball, all eyes were on Bhuvneshwar Kumar as he stepped up to the plate.

  The final ball was a back of a length pacy delivery, but unfortunately, Bhuvi was unable to connect with the ball. It was a disappointing end to the match as KKR had pulled off a heist.

  SRH vs KKR Live Score: Kolkata Knight Riders opt to bat

  Nitish Rana - We'll bat first. Looks like a good wicket, hopefully we'll post a good score and then restrict them. We're not thinking too much ahead, just have to take game-by-game. We have had injurioes in many games, but they're back now. We're playing an extra batter due to the impact rule, need to get those 10-15 extra runsm. Twi changes - Jason is back in place of David Wiese, Vaibhav Arora replaces Jagadeeshan

  Aiden Markram - We would have batted first as well, we have tended to do well with a score on the board. We need to start playing good consistent cricket and tonight's an opportunity, looking forward to a positive outcome. Batting needs to improve, bowling has been outstanding, but we've underperformed with the bat. Couple of changes in out 16 with kartik Tyagi back in the group.
