Kolkata Knight Riders need 23 more runs to win off 24 balls. Shubman Gill is batting on 59 and giving him company is Eoin Morgan who is batting on 29.

26 Sep, 22:40 (IST)

That's fifty up for SHubman Gill. He has played a valuable part in this chase. Sunrisers will be hoping to pick his wicket as quickly as possible now, before it gets too late.

26 Sep, 22:13 (IST)

OUT! Rashid Khan strikes in his first over! Big blow this to Knight Riders. Dinesh Karthik is trapped in front of the wickets. He opts for review as well but all in vain. Duck for KKR captain. D Karthik lbw b Rashid Khan 0(3)

26 Sep, 22:02 (IST)

OUT! T Natarajan into the attack and he strikes for his captain. Knight Riders two down now. Nitish Rana edges one to the wicketkeeper. Some relief for Sunrisers. N Rana c W Saha b T Natarajan 26(13)

26 Sep, 21:55 (IST)

Excellent batting this by Nitish Rana. He has come out all guns blazing but has played proper shots. He looks in top form. Knight Riders would love to see him continue this way. Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed are under some pressure now.

26 Sep, 21:48 (IST)

OUT! Sunrisers Hyderabad pick an early wicket as Sunil Narine is caught near mid-on. Khaleel Ahmed playing his first game of the season, picks his first wicket. S Narine c Warner b Khaleel Ahmed 0(2)

26 Sep, 21:27 (IST)

So, that’s the end of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s innings. In the end good job by KKR bowlers to restrict SRH to under 150. The wicket appears to be on slower side and will be interesting to see how Knight Riders respond with the bat. Do join us back for Kolkata’s chase.

26 Sep, 21:20 (IST)

OUT! Good through and some mix up and Wriddhiman Saha is run out. Looking for a double there, he was sent back by Mohammad Nabi. W Saha run out (Cummins/Karthik) 30(31)

26 Sep, 21:09 (IST)

OUT! Andre Russell strikes. That's the end of a fine knock by Manish Pandey. High full-toss by Russell and Pandey couldn't keep it down, was looking to keep it down but the ball popped up from his bat and Russell takes the catch. M Pandey c and b Russell 51(38)

26 Sep, 21:05 (IST)

Three overs remain now and Sunrisers Hyderabad need to up the ante now. Manish Pandey and Wriddhiman Saha have added 59 runs for the third wicket so far. Meanwhile, Pandey has completed his half-century off just 35 balls. Good knock by the right-hander but he needs to finish on a high here, now that he has done all the hard work.

26 Sep, 20:22 (IST)

OUT! BIG wicket this for Knight Riders! Varun Chakravarthy gets rid of David Warner. The SRH captain was looking dangerous. Warner chips it back to bowler first ball after the strategic time-out. D Warner c and b Chakravarthy 36(30)

26 Sep, 20:14 (IST)

David Warner is looking in good touch and he got an able partner in Manish Pandey. Both of them are not just rotating the strike but scoring big hits as well. Knight Riders need another wicket here to put on the brakes.

26 Sep, 19:53 (IST)

OUT! Pat Cummins with the first blow! He cleans up Jonny Bairstow. Sunrisers lose early wicket. That one came in a bit and went between Bairstow's bat and pad. J Bairstow b Cummins 5(10)

26 Sep, 19:40 (IST)

David Warner and Jonny Bairstow are the Sunrisers Hyderabad openers. Sunil Narine was handed the new ball and he gave away six runs in the opening over with both the batsmen looking cautious. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins with the second over and both SRH openers are not willing to take any risk and thus playing with the straight bat.  

26 Sep, 19:10 (IST)

Sunil Narine, Shubman Gill, Dinesh Karthik(w/c), Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Shivam Mavi.

This will be the 18th encounter between the two sides. Knight Riders have an upper hand over Sunrisers and have defeated the ten times. SRH, on the other hand, have won just seven games against KKR. While KKR lost to Mumbai Indians, SRH were defeated by Royal Challengers Bangalore.

After the defeat in their first matches, it will be interesting if both teams make some changes. Sunrisers, however, will be forced to make once change as Mitchell Marsh is out of the IPL 2020 due to an injury. His replacement Jason Holder is unlikely to get a game straightaway. So, Sunrisers management could bring in either Kane Williamson, Mohammad Nabi or Fabien Allen. KKR vs SRH IPL 2020 Dream11 Team Selection: Recommended Players As Captain and Vice-Captain, Probable Lineup To Pick Your Fantasy XI.
