KKR are crumbling though they could still post a big target since they have players like Russell and Rinku in their ranks. Hyderabad definitely has the upper hand and I am expecting them to restrict Kolkata to something around 180-190 now.
Both Kolkata openers started badly today. De Kock scored just 1 run from 6 balls and Narine scored 7 runs from 7 balls. Kolkata lost both openers by 16 runs. Hyderabad's batting order is strong. Although the performance of the batsmen is a bit erratic. Still, a big target is needed to win against this team. Kolkata definitely needs to collect around 200. I am waiting to see how Kolkata bats in the last few overs.
Kolkata's collection Kolkata scored 166 runs for the loss of 4 wickets after 18 overs. Although the two openers could not play well, each of the following batsmen played well. Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored 50 runs from just 32 balls. Rinku Singh remained unbeaten on 31 runs from 16 balls. Let's see if Kolkata can collect up to 200. Two hard hitters like Rinku and Iyer are now at the crease
