90/1(8.1)
165/10(19)

SRH won the toss and elected to bat first
Kolkata Knight Riders need 76 from 71 balls
On runs and in hand, chase in a better spot than the first innings was.

165 — competitive, dangerous, chaseable but only if everything goes right. SRH will feel they have enough. Head's 61 off 28 (SR 218) was the innings that held everything together, with Kishan (42 off 29) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Chakaravarthy (3/36 in 4.1 ov), Tyagi (2/30 in 4.1 ov), Narine (2/31 in 4 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 5 wickets fell as SRH tried to accelerate, and what looked like 185+ became 165. KKR need 166 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
Last wicket — innings done.

165 — competitive, dangerous, chaseable but only if everything goes right. SRH will feel they have enough. Head's 61 off 28 (SR 218) was the innings that held everything together, with Kishan (42 off 29) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Chakaravarthy (3/36 in 4.1 ov), Tyagi (2/30 in 4.1 ov), Narine (2/31 in 4 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 5 wickets fell as SRH tried to accelerate, and what looked like 185+ became 165. KKR need 166 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
Last wicket — innings done.
