Abu Dhabi: Shubman Gill and Eoin Morgan starred as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured two points following their seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the eighth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in Abu Dhabi yesterday.
Needing 143 runs to win, KKR lost Sunil Narine in the second over as David Warner held on to a catch off Khaleel Ahmed’s bowling. Nitish Rana and Gill, though, scored at a brisk pace, taking on the SRH pacers.
However, their 21-ball 37-run partnership was broken as T. Natarajan dismissed Rana after the left-hander had scored a quickfire 26. Dinesh Karthik was the next man to get out as Rashid Khan got him out LBW soon after KKR crossed their fifty.
