Braithwaite to bowl the final over. Rana slices the first ball to third man and Sandeep Sharma puts in a dive but it isn’t enough as the ball escapes for a FOUR. CAUGHT! Just 1 run required and Rana goes for the pull but finds the fielder at fine leg and he has to depart. Karthik punches the 4th ball to mid on and picks up a quick single to take KKR to victory with 2 balls to spare. Big win for KKR as they walk into the playoffs.
Kumar back into the attack. Karthik works the 2nd ball to long on and picks up a quick double. Good over by Kumar as just 5 runs come off it. But KKR need just 5 runs off the last over to win.
Kaul to bowl the 18th. DROPPED! Russell gets a top edge on the 3rd delivery and Sandeep Sharma does all the hard work at fine leg to get there but the ball slips right though his hands as he puts in the dive escaping for a FOUR.
CAUGHT! Kaul sends in the knuckle ball and Russell mistimes his swing sending the ball high up in the air and Manish Pandey keeps his cool to take the catch safely at long on. 10 runs and a wicket come off the over.
KKR need 10 runs from 12 balls to win.
Brathwaite back into the attack. CAUGHT! Brathwaite sends down the short ball and Uthappa goes for the pull but gets a big top edge sending the ball high up and Goswami runs towards the gully region to take the catch safely between his gloves. Karthik then shows how it’s done as he slaps the 4th delivery bowled short and outside off through midwicket for a FOUR. 8 runs and a wicket come off the over.
KKR need 18 runs from 18 balls to win.
Rashid to bowl his final over. Karthik punches the 2nd ball to midwicket and picks up a quick double. Uthappa launches the 4th ball straight over Rashid’s head for a FOUR. He follows this up by picking up the next delivery bowled outside off and sending it flying over deep midwicket for a SIX. 15 runs off the over.
KKR need just 26 off 24 balls to win.
Kumar back into the attack. The second delivery hits Karthik on the pads and the KKR skippers tries to steal a single, but Kumar is quick to the ball and dislodges the bails, however Karthik is safely in. Karthik then swings hard at the 4th ball and a top edge carries the ball high over fine leg and into the stands for a SIX. 11 runs off the over.
Kaul back into the attack. CAUGHT! That was some great presence of mind by Manish Pandey at the edge of the boundary. Lynn launches the first ball flat towards long on and Pandey who came running in took the catch before realizing he was headed for the ropes, he then threw the ball back into the field before his foot crossed the line and then came back in to complete the catch. Great over by Kaul as he gives away just 2 runs and get a wicket off it.
KKR need 52 runs from 36 balls to win.
