Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are currently involved in a crucial encounter where KKR have made a solid comeback with four wickets inside 7 overs to put panic in SRH's camp as they hope to chase down the target of 172.

SRH batters came out with positive intent but that also led to their downfall as they lost three wickets in the Powerplay despite scoring 53 runs in it. Mayank Agarwal scored 18 off 11 balls and then Tripathi smashed 20 off just 9 balls but played one shot too many to hand Russell a wicket in his first over.

Anukul Roy was brought in after the Powerplay and he made sure that Harry Brook's struggle against spin continues and trapped him in front for a 4-ball duck. SRH were reduced to 54-4 at one point in time and at the time of writing, they are 69-4 in 9 overs.

SRH now have Klaasen and Aiden Markram in the crease, and it is up to the South African duo now to take SRH home from this precarious position. KKR, on the other hand, have Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy, who have been brilliant in the death and things are not going to be easy for SRH.
