Malik scores a single run from the next two balls, and it appears that Kolkata's chances of winning are dwindling. Despite their valiant efforts, it seems that Sunrisers Hyderabad will emerge victorious tonight. Kolkata manages to hit a six, bringing their total score to 200, but it's not enough. The game is over, and Sunrisers Hyderabad has won by 23 runs.
KKR 205/7 (20)
SRH 228/4 (20)
Rinku Singh has proven to be a shining star on the field! He punished Jansen with two impressive sixes, keeping Kolkata in the game. However, it seems that there is a lack of communication within the SRH camp, as Washington Sundar dropped a crucial catch.

Shardul Thakur 12(6)
Nitish Rana has been dismissed by Natarajan, who has taken the wicket. Rana attempted to hit the ball over the off-side, but failed to achieve the necessary distance.

The shot from Rinku Singh's bat was a thing of beauty as it sailed over long-on for a maximum. Rana followed suit with a smashing boundary to keep Kolkata's hopes alive. Despite their efforts, Hyderabad remained firmly in control, with Kolkata needing 94 runs from just 36 balls to secure a victory.
KKR 135/5 (14)
Rinku Singh 13(9)

Marco Jansen has returned to the attack and is performing exceptionally well. He is expertly angling the ball into the pads, leaving no room for the batsmen to maneuver. Although he did over-step, Jansen quickly recovered and delivered a brilliant yorker, leaving the batsman with no opportunity to hit the ball over the top.
KKR 96/4 (10)
Andre Russell 3(5)
Nitish Rana 42(20)
Nitish Rana's impressive performance against Umran Malik is a cause for concern for Hyderabad.

The atmosphere at the Eden Gardens was electric as KKR hosted their first and only game of the season. Fans were on the edge of their seats as Shardul Thakur stepped up to the plate, channeling the legendary AB de Villiers with his impressive batting skills. However, KKR's spin trio - Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, and Suyash Sharma - proved to be too much for RCB, who crumbled under the pressure.
The Kolkata Knight Riders have a dominant head-to-head record against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL matches, with a score of 15-8. These two teams have faced each other 23 times in IPL history, and KKR has emerged victorious in 15 of those encounters.
