KKR Bowlers Bamboozle SRH Batting Line-up

Opting to bat first, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma wanted to give their side a strong start for the final time this season. However, it was a bowling fiesta for the Kolkata Knight Riders as their big buy Mitchell Starc took Abhishek Sharma out of the game in the first over courtesy of a spectacular delivery that caught Abhishek off guard.

What stunned the SunRisers even further was the dismissal of Travis Head in the very next over. Vaibhav Arora also delivered early on the night and dismissed Head with a brilliant delivery. What followed was a batting order meltdown as wickets at quick intervals saw SRH struggle at 71/6 at 11.5 overs.

Pat Cummins’ men crumbled under pressure as the KKR bowlers dominated the proceedings early on in the final. It was the skipper himself who topscored with a xx-ball xx on the night.
