SRH’s last game was against Delhi Capitals, and they were unfortunate not to walk away with both points. Led by their captain Pat Cummins’ fiery spell, SRH had reduced DC to 29/5 and then 62/6. In the end, DC finished their innings on 133/7.
Your daily dose of cricket!
However, SRH did not get the chance to bat as rain brought a premature end to the match. The Hyderabad-based outfit will be eyeing a similar performance against KKR and will be keen to win the game.
KKR faced Chennai Super Kings in their last game and suffered a 2-wicket defeat at home. Batting first, the reigning champions posted 179/6 in 20 overs. With the ball, they had reduced CSK to 60/5. However, a whirlwind fifty from Dewald Brevis revived CSK’s hopes before MS Dhoni took the team home.
KKR’s chances of qualifying for the playoffs are now extremely low. Even if they win their remaining games, they will have to depend on several other results to make it to the next round.
