Last Match Between SRH and KKR
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders last met in the IPL on 26 September 2020 at Abu Dhabi. Batting first, SRH scored 142/4. After the early loss of Bairstow’s wicket, they recovered through respective partnerships of 35 between Warner (36 off 30 balls) and Pandey (51 off 38 balls) and 62 between Pandey and Saha (30 off 31 balls). But on a slow wicket, SRH failed to accelerate in the slog overs and ended up with a modest score that was probably about 40 runs short of a winning total. Pat Cummins was the best KKR bowler on display, taking 1/19 in his four overs. Varun Chakravarthy (1/25) and Andre Russell (1/16) also helped restrict SRH. In their reply, KKR lost the early wicket of Sunil Narine. But Shubman Gill anchored the innings, scoring 70 off 62 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes, sharing an unbeaten partnership of 92 with Eoin Morgan (42 in 29 balls) to shepherd KKR home in 18 overs.
