Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: IPL 2024

- HYDERABAD -AFP

That’s it from our live coverage of Kolkata Knight Riders against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

KKR sealed a four-run win in the third match of the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League.

Andre Russell top scores with 64 from 25 balls as KKR posted 208-7.

Heinrich Klaasen hit 63 off 29 to nearly pulled off a dramatic comeback with the bat by SRH but the South African fell in the final over. We hope you enjoyed the coverage and can join us again soon.

For now though, from me Kevin Hand, it’s goodbye.

Ramandeep Singh talks through his 35 off 17 in KKR’s comeback with the bat

“I was enjoying by time in the middle and trying to play with intent,” he told Sky Sports. “I was striking well in domestic cricket but they way these guys have backed me is tremendous.

“I really want to play like [Russell] maybe one day I can play like that.”

Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins gives his response

“It was a close game and a wonderful game of cricket,” he told Sky Sports.

“I was impressed with how we bowled but Andre Russell did what Andre Russell does. “We had our plans but he’s a tough guy to bowl to.

“We could have bowled a few balls differentl­y, but he’s the toughest guy to bowl to in the world when he’s playing like that.” An IPL classic at Eden Gardens We were so close to one of the greatest comebacks in T20 history but, similarly, the comeback by KKR in the final over with the ball was incredible.

Huge pressure on Harshit but the seamer came up with the goods.

An amazing death over from the rightarmer. Kolkata Knight Riders win by four runs! A swing and a miss from Cummins as Harshit delivers a slower ball and KKR win a thriller.

WICKET! Klaasen is out! Sunrisers Hyderabad 204-7

Klaasen skies it and is caught at shortthird for 63 off 29.

Five needed from one.

Single for Jansen

Five to win from two, but Klaasen is on strike now.

Shahbaz holes outs as he attempted to go back over the bowlers head.

Six to win from three. Jansen is on strike. Four sixes in the over and this could be one of the great comebacks.

Klaasen takes Starc down with three of the sixes before Shahbaz cashes in as well off the final ball as he bludgeons it over square leg.

Thirteen to win off the final over.
