    5.4 Eden finally finds its voice!! Green at mid-on moves back a few steps and takes the catch with a reverse cup. Short of a length at 142kph from Tyagi, who bowls this around seventh stump. Head looks to swat it back down the ground, but loses his bottom hand off the bat. The ball is ballooned up without timing, and Head falls after 46 off 21 balls 82/1
    8.4 great catch by Varun!! He isn't doing it with the ball at the moment, but he does it really well on the field. But wait. Abhishek is hanging around to check for the cleanliness of the catch, as it's referred by the umpire. Varun was at deep square leg, and went low to try and catch the ball, which was dipping on him. The third umpire checks multiple replays from multiple angles, even as it appears that Varun's hands are beneath the ball. But we'll wait for that confirmation. Repeated change of angles finally satisfies the third umpire. He gives it out, and Eden roars. Abhishek walks back frustrated 112/3
    8.2 well taken by Rinku at the deep cover-point boundary!! He tip-toes on the fence, but his left leg doesn't touch the boundary. Short of a length from Muzarabani, who got the ball to climb outside off. Kishan looked to slash at it aerially by riding the bounce, and nearly timed it all the way for six 111/2
    19.4 Picks out deep midwicket. Muzarabani has his third. Pace-off, full and wide. Klaasen has to reach out as he tries to go over the leg side but ends up dragging it straight to long-on. This was at 104kph! 222/7
    9.2 Rinku takes another good catch!! KKR are back into the contest. SRH have to rebuild. Anukul teased Aniket by going on a short of a length, and wide of off. Aniket went slashing away from his body and lofted it wide of long-off, but Rinku, at the long-off boundary, moved swiftly to his left to pouch the ball. It's all going KKR's way suddenly 118/4
    18.1 Reddy's second life lasts just one ball. Wide slower ball bouncer and Reddy has to wait on it and tries to carve it over point. But there's a fielder in the deep and it's Varun again in the thick of it all, and this time he makes no mistake. Quick respite for him 200/5
    18.2 Knocks him over first ball! Arora's brilliant spell at the death continues. Nails this yorker, and Salil Arora has to make the long walk back the way he came from. Fired in at 138kph in the blockhole, Arora was looking to whip it across the line and is beaten by the pace. The ball goes off his pads and onto the stumps 200/6

    19.6 Four for Muzarabani. Short and wide, pace off again, and Shivang can only chip it to cover. We have the highest total of IPL 2026 already, but will that be enough for SRH? 226/8

    4.6 Good catch by Malinga!! Short of a length around middle, as Unadkat bowls a slower ball. The ball seamed away, and Rahane went for the pull - but the bounce wasn't much off the pitch because of the lack of pace, and the ball went off the top edge. Malinga did well running in from deep midwicket, and took a sliding catch 67/2
    1.3 got him!! Slammed back hard, and Dubey is alert. Relief for SRH. Dubey did well to react and catch quickly, as Allen went slogging at this full ball wide of off, but ended up getting it off the toe-end of the bat. Chance for SRH to break KKR's flow 30/1
    10.6 Mix-up, and after all that, Raghuvanshi is run-out in the end! Rinku slashes this to backward point and takes off, but is also ball-watching and doesn't quite commit to the run. Raghuvanshi has run more than half the length of the pitch when Rinku stops and can't really scramble back in time. Rinku says it was Raghuvanshi's call. Good throw, close to the stumps at the non-striker's end and Shivang does the rest 120/4
    5.6 wow, he's run out this time!! Raghuvanshi gave up midway into the run, as Malinga whipped the bails off at his end. This is what happened earlier: Malinga bowled it full, as Raghuvanshi drove it back. Malinga fumbled, though, as the ball flicked off his boot and dribbled back. Hang on!! Just as Raghuvanshi made his way to the boundary to walk back, he's stopped to confirm who's the batter who's actually out as the batters crossed while Malinga broke the stumps. And guess what? It's Green who's out. Damn!! What luck!! 74/3
    13.4 Edged to short third! Is that the game for KKR? Slower ball does the trick again. Full outside off and Rinku flashes at it. Goes off the toe end of the bat straight to Unadkat at short third and he takes a neat catch falling to his right 139/6
    11.2 Nicked behind, NKR strikes second ball! Shorter side of good length just outside off, with the seam up. Anukul tries to run it down fine on the off side and ends up with a thick edge and Kishan gobbles it up as a pumped up Reddy veers away in celebration 120/5
    14.6 Another one goes. Another catch for Unadkat. Pace-offf length ball at 108kph, Ramandeep waits on it and gets low to slash it away, but hits it straight to backward point 159/8
    14.3 This time it's taken at long-on. Aniket Verma the fielder. Malinga went for the blockhole with pace off. Narine can't quite get under it as he tries to loft it down the ground. Aniket gets behind the line and makes a timely jump to grab it above head height, while making sure the momentum doesn't take him over the rope 154/7
    15.5 Gone! Umpire reckons Tyagi has nicked behind, but he's reviewed it. Full outside off, Tyagi was looking to work it leg side. There was a noise as the ball went past the inside edge. Kishan was convinced, so was Unadkat and so was the umpire. And UltraEdge confirms it. KKR go nine down 161/9

    15.6 Gone, first ball and SRH are on the board! Quick yorker outside off, 130kph. Varun got the bat down but ends up inside-edging it onto the stumps. KKR are knocked over for 161 and SRH register a big, big victory 161/10
