10.52pm Shivam Mavi and Shubman Gill are given their fielding caps by Jacques Kallis and Simon Katich. Kallis is giving a speech to the KKR boys. They'll need all the motivation they can gather, if they are to win tonight's game. Saha and Dhawan walk out
10.40pm Chris Lynn made 49, but even that was scrappy. The Knight Riders batting seemed out of sorts today, and the Sunrisers bowlers made full use of the Knight Riders' weird batting choices. Bhuvneshwar took three, Shakib was excellent, and the SRH fielding was electric. Momentum's with them as we take a short break. We'll be back in ten minutes with the chase.
Shams: "SRH well-oiled machine: buy the right players; replace captain without hiccup with another national captain; win toss; bowl first; trust your five bowlers and give them their full quotas; combine pace with a leggie and SLA for all pitch conditions; open with dhumdham Dhawan and unleash during the power play; have Kane dig in at one end. Let the all-rounders do their thing. Win. "
Pranav: "Hyderabad has always been a strong bowling team. 4 purple caps of the 10 awarded."
pramod: "4 of 5 Sunrisers bowlers are in top 10 wickets takers so far. That summarizes how effective they were. SRH has beecome Purple cap home"
Shivam Mavi c Kumar b Kaul 7 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 87.50
Ragul: "Can KKR touch 140?"
Final over. Can KKR touch 150? Kaul to bowl.
