KKR 116-6 (16 ovs) vs Royals 155-9 | SCORECARD

KKR need a few sixes in the next couple of overs to getting the asking rate back in control.

Rinku, who was dropped on 8, needs to make lost of the lifeline and push KKR towards victory.

Rinku makes his intent clear as he slog sweeps Bishnoi's first ball over midwicket for a six to take KKR past 100, in the 16th over.

Bishnoi bowls a wide down the leg side before Rinku misses the clip and collects a leg bye.

Anukul punches the third ball over the covers for two runs as Hetmyer makes a good stop at deep extra cover followed by another wide.

Singles off the next two balls before Rinku hammers Bishnoi's last ball inside out over the covers for the second six of the over.

Rinku has raced to 26 from 20 balls as Bishnoi goes for 19 runs in his final over.
