ഗ്രൗണ്ടിലെ ഈര്പ്പത്തെ തുടര്ന്ന് ഒന്നേകാല് മണിക്കൂര് വൈകിയാണ് കളി ആരംഭിച്ചത്. ഭുവനേശ്വര് കുമാര്, ജോഷ് ഹേസല്വുജ്, റാസിഖ് സലാം ധര് എന്നിവര് ഓരോ വിക്കറ്റ് വീതം വീഴ്ത്തി.
ENGLISH SUMMARY:
In a crucial clash for playoff survival, Kolkata Knight Riders set a challenging target of 193 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Raipur. After a rain delay of over an hour due to a wet outfield, KKR recovered from early stutters to finish at 192/4 in their 20 overs. Youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi was the star of the innings, scoring a brilliant 71 runs and anchoring significant partnerships with Cameron Green and Rinku Singh. Rinku Singh provided a vital late surge with an unbeaten 49, ensuring KKR reached a formidable total despite disciplined bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood. With RCB needing 193 to stay in the hunt, the chase promises to be high-octane as the dew factor might play a role in the second innings.
