Achi news desk-
Sunrisers Hyderabad fought and lost in the match against Kolkata Right Knights at Eden Garden. Heinrich Klaasen (63 off 29 balls, 8 sixes) took Hyderabad to the brink of victory with his brilliant knock but the game turned upside down in the last over. Hyderabad lost by just 4 runs in this exciting high scoring game. Hyderabad, who came in chasing 209 runs, could only manage 204 runs for the loss of 7 wickets at the end of the specified 20 overs. No one else in the Hyderabad team made any big runs except Klaasen. Openers Mayank Agarwal (32) and Abhishek Sharma (32) excelled but the middle order declined. Tripathi (20), Markaram (18), Abdul Samad (15) and Shahbaz Ahmed (16) could not score much, so Hyderabad was bound to lose. Among the Kolkata bowlers, Harshit Rana took 3 wickets and Andre Russe took 2 wickets.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and invited Kolkata Knight Riders to bat. Despite the failure of Taparder and middle order, West Indies pinch hitter Russell played a brilliant innings. He remained unbeaten with 64 runs in just 25 balls with 7 massive sixes and 3 boundaries. Phil Salt (53 off 40 balls, 3 fours, 3 sixes) and Raman Deep Singh (35) and Rinku Singh (23) played well as Kolkata scored 208 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the stated 20 overs. Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Upadhyay completed 60 runs in the powerplay while chasing the target of 209 runs. But after both of them got out, the pace of runs slowed down. Consecutive wickets were also taken. On the other hand, the spin trio of Sunil Narine, Varun Chakraborty and Suyash Sharma were tying down the Hyderabad batsmen. The score was just 145 runs when Abdul Samad fell on the fifth ball of the 17th over. But that’s where Classen’s destruction began. The dashing batsman could not win Hyderabad even if he brought the game to the last over.
