KKR 129-1 (14 Ovs) vs SRH 165 | SCORECARD

Shivang Kumar continues, and Raghuvanshi starts cautiously -- flicking one towards third man but getting no run as he's beaten by the googly. He then drives along the ground to long-off for a single, moving to 47 off 35 balls. KKR keep things under control through the over, collecting just 3 runs. After 13 overs, they are 122/1, needing 44 off 42 balls.

Post timeout, Harshal Patel is back into the attack. Raghuvanshi, on 48, is first tested with a short ball and can only find the fielder. He then picks up a single towards fine leg. Rahane misses one before responding with a well-timed boundary, keeping the scoreboard moving. A drive to long-off fetches another single.

Harshal goes full and slow next, and Raghuvanshi calmly works it to long-on -- and brings up a composed fifty off 39 balls.

A steady over overall -- 7 runs come off it, and after 14 overs KKR are 129/1, needing 37 off 36 balls.

Eshan Malinga returns. Raghuvanshi stays watchful, but Malinga's slower delivery gets punished -- it takes a faint tickle off Kishan's glove and races away to the boundary. Four more added to the total. A single follows to end the over.

9 runs come off it, and after 12 overs KKR are 119/1, needing 47 from 48 balls.

Sakib Hussain is brought into the attack. He starts down the leg side and Raghuvanshi can't get a run. There's an appeal for caught behind from Ishan Kishan, but SRH choose not to review. A single follows off the next ball. Sakib then strays again down leg and it's called wide.

The batters continue to rotate strike comfortably, picking up singles with ease.

Just 6 runs come off the over, and after 10 overs KKR are 105/1, needing 61 off 60 balls.

Raghuvanshi rotates strike again with a back-foot push to long-on. Rahane then can't pierce the field, jabbing one to cover for no run. A steady finish to the over with just a single coming off the last ball.

8 runs off it, and after 7 overs KKR are 79/1.

That brings up the timeout. SRH also make a change -- Sakib Hussain comes on as Impact Player in place of Aniket Verma. Harshal Patel is introduced into the attack.

Rahane starts him off with a pull to deep square leg for a single. KKR continue to keep things ticking with smart singles. Raghuvanshi then finds the boundary again, before the pair finish the over with two more singles.

6 runs come off it, and after 5 overs KKR are 55/1.

Eshan Malinga is brought back into the attack as the powerplay nears its end. Raghuvanshi wastes no time -- he greets him with a six straight away. He then finds mid-off for no run, before rotating strike with a quick single. Rahane follows with a classy flick through midwicket for another run. Raghuvanshi responds again, launching another six to keep the momentum rolling.

He swings and misses next, with the ball going down leg for a wide, before finishing the over with a single.

17:46

Allen falls after blazing start

KKR 49-1 (4 Ovs) vs SRH 165 | SCORECARD

Pat Cummins continues, but it starts poorly -- a horror delivery well outside the tramlines as Finn Allen shuffles across. It sails past Ishan Kishan's dive and is signalled five wides.

Allen then switches gears immediately, smashing a huge six. He follows it up with a flick through midwicket for a couple, and KKR are suddenly racing. Another six comes soon after as the momentum builds. Back-to-back boundaries keep the charge going, with SRH under real pressure.

But Cummins finally gets his man! Allen goes once more, only to find Heinrich Klaasen in the deep, who takes a clean catch. Allen departs after doing serious damage.

A dramatic over -- 27 runs and a wicket. After 4 overs, KKR are 49/1.

17:42

Rahane lifts KKR early in chase

KKR 22-0 (3 Ovs) vs SRH 165 | SCORECARD

He then tries a flick towards midwicket but can't get a run. Rahane squeezes out a couple off the final ball to keep the strike moving.

8 runs come off the over, and after 3 overs KKR are 22/0.

Rahane then plays one back to the bowler for no run, but recovers quickly with a wristy push to the right of mid-on for another single. Allen closes out the over with a single of his own.

A steady start for KKR -- 8 runs off the opening over. They now need 158 off 114 balls.

Pat Cummins comes on from the other end with a slip in place.

Finn Allen starts with a calm knock down to long-on for a single, before Ajinkya Rahane tucks one neatly through square leg for another run. Allen then defends a few solid deliveries, keeping things tight. There's a brief appeal from Ishan Kishan, but Cummins is unconvinced and doesn't entertain it.

Allen finishes the over in style, cracking a boundary to keep the scoreboard moving.

6 runs come off it, and after 2 overs KKR are 14/0.

17:20

SRH collapse for 165 as KKR bowl them out

SRH 165 all out (19 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

KKR will be pleased with their bowling after a shaky start. SRH raced to 71/1 in the powerplay despite losing Abhishek Sharma for 15, with Travis Head smashing a 22-ball fifty and sharing a strong stand with Ishan Kishan as they reached 105/1 in the ninth over.

The game turned when Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Head, sparking a collapse. Klaasen fell to a brilliant Powell catch for 11, and SRH never recovered. Varun removed Smaran and Aniket, while Sunil Narine struck twice in the same over to dismiss Salil Arora and Kishan. The spinners finished with 5/67, sealing SRH's dramatic collapse.

17:13

SRH collapse for 165 as KKR bowl them out

SRH 165 all out (19 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Eshan Malinga walks in as the new batter and is immediately under pressure. He swings and misses first up, then can't connect again. A wide is also called outside off before he finally gets off strike with a single. It's a tight over -- just 3 runs and a wicket, and after 18 overs SRH are 159/9.

Kartik Tyagi returns to the attack. Harshal Patel starts positively, greeting him with a boundary, but then can't find the timing on the next shot. He manages a single to point, while Malinga continues to struggle against the pace and movement.

Then the breakthrough! Harshal goes for another big shot but miscues it, and Vaibhav Arora takes a clean catch.

Harshal Patel departs for 6 off 5 balls, and SRH are all out for 165 -- their first all-out of this IPL season.

17:02

SRH collapse to 9 down

SRH 156-9 (17.1 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

And the review pays off! A clear edge on the bat, and it's taken safely by Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Vaibhav Arora has struck.

Arora departs for 1 off 2 balls, and SRH are now 9 down.

16:59

Anukul removes Cummins, SRH 8 down

SRH 156-8 (17 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Shivang Kumar is the new batter at the crease as Anukul Roy comes into the attack. Pat Cummins starts cautiously, jabbing one to cover for no run before both batters exchange a single each. Then Cummins goes big -- he smashes a huge six to lift the tempo.

But Anukul hits back immediately with a yorker on the stumps. Cummins jams it back straight to the bowler. There's an appeal -- Anukul goes up in celebration! Confusion follows as the umpire sends it upstairs to the TV official.

After replays, the decision is confirmed -- it's a brilliant caught-and-bowled. A sharp reflex effort from Anukul Roy.

Pat Cummins departs for 10 off 10 balls. SRH are 156/8.

16:54

Narine's 200th wicket rocks SRH

SRH 148-7 (16 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Sunil Narine is back into the attack, with a slip in place for Salil Arora. And he strikes immediately!

Arora is completely beaten -- the ball drifts in and goes straight through to clean him up. It's a landmark moment as Narine picks up his 200th IPL wicket. Salil Arora departs for 2 off 6 balls.

Pat Cummins walks in next and gets off the mark by turning one neatly to deep square leg for a couple of runs. He then shoulders arms to the next and picks up a single.

Ishan Kishan then tries to counterattack -- he launches a huge six, but the next delivery does the damage. Narine floats one up wider and slower, and Kishan miscues it straight to long-off where his Jharkhand teammate Anukul Roy takes a comfortable catch.

Kishan departs for 42 off 29 balls.

A big over for KKR -- 9 runs and 2 wickets. After 16 overs, SRH are 148/7.

16:43

Varun continues his damage in middle overs

SRH 135-5 (14 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Aniket Verma departs for 6 off 8 balls.

Salil Arora walks in as the new batter and safely negotiates the final two deliveries, showing solid defence under pressure.

Just 4 runs and a wicket come off the over. After 14 overs, SRH are 135/5, as KKR continue to chip away in the middle overs.

16:38

Varun strikes again, SRH lose quick wkts

SRH 131-4 (13 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Cameron Green continues. Aniket Verma nudges one to short midwicket for no run before cutting one down to fine leg for a single. He then goes for the pull but can't connect cleanly. A bouncer follows, and it's called wide for height.

Ishan Kishan then finds the gap -- he swivels and pulls superbly for four. He defends the final two balls to close out the over.

6 runs come off it, and after 13 overs SRH are 131/4. The momentum has dipped slightly, with SRH managing just 26 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the last four overs -- a real opening for KKR to pull things back and tighten the grip.

16:31

Varun strikes again, SRH lose quick wkts

SRH 125-4 (12 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Varun Chakravarthy continues, and Ishan Kishan first drills one straight back -- it strikes the bowler's left boot, leaving Varun in visible discomfort.

A miscued shot, and Smaran is gone for 4 off 4 balls.

Aniket Verma is the new batter at the crease. Varun Chakravarthy tosses one up, it grips and turns back in -- going right through the gate as Aniket comes forward to push at it. A sharp start from the bowler.

Ishan Kishan steadies things with a drive towards long-off for a single. Aniket then gets one off a fractionally short ball, chopping it towards the point region.

Just 4 runs and a wicket come off the over. After 12 overs, SRH are 125/4.

16:25

Powell stunner ends Klaasen cameo

SRH 121-3 (11 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Heinrich Klaasen walks in as the new batter. Sunil Narine continues, and Ishan Kishan can only manage a blocked shot back to the bowler before nudging one to deep midwicket for a single. Klaasen plays out the rest of the over cautiously, and just 2 runs come off it. After 10 overs, SRH are 107/2.

Cameron Green is brought back into the attack. Klaasen starts positively, punching one to cover for no run before launching a huge six. But there's drama next ball -- a chance goes up, and it's dropped! There were high expectations on that one, but it just doesn't stick. He follows it up with a boundary as well.

Then comes a stunning moment in the field! Rovman Powell pulls off a sensational one-handed diving catch. He stretches fully, somehow holds on to it, and tumbles to the ground after completing the grab. The umpire goes upstairs for multiple replays to check the fairness of the catch.

Klaasen departs for 11 off 8 balls in a dramatic turn of events.

Smaran Ravichandran walks in as the new batter and gets going straight away. He times a drive through cover and follows it up with a confident boundary to get off the mark in style.

16:18

Varun strikes as blazing Head falls

SRH 105-2 (9 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Varun Chakravarthy continues. Ishan Kishan wastes no time -- he greets him with back-to-back boundaries. A single follows down to long-off. A wide is also added to the tally. Head then defends one before unleashing again -- a massive six brings up SRH's 100. They opted to bat first, and their top order has fully justified that decision.

But Varun strikes back! Head goes for another big hit, but this time he finds Cameron Green at deep midwicket. A superb catch. Travis Head departs after a blazing 61 off 28 balls.

A dramatic over -- 16 runs and a wicket. After 9 overs, SRH are 105/2.

The batters continue to keep the scoreboard ticking with a single each.

And then comes the big moment -- Travis Head finishes the over in style, launching a six to bring up his fifty off just 22 balls. What an innings it's been so far.

SRH 71-1 (6 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Change in bowling as Cameron Green comes into the attack. Ishan Kishan starts quietly, jabbing one to point for no run before picking up a single through third man.

SRH 45-1 (4 Ovs) vs KKR | SCORECARD

Narine continues. Abhishek Sharma works one to square leg for a single. Head starts quietly -- one straight to mid-on, then another to cover.

Kartik Tyagi is introduced into the attack to halt the momentum. Abhishek greets him with a boundary straight away. He then mistimes one for a single. Head backs away looking to cut loose, but is beaten for height -- a rare wide. He follows it up with a flick to backward point for one.

And Tyagi strikes! Abhishek goes for the pull, gets cramped for room, and only manages a top edge. The ball loops up towards midwicket where Cameron Green settles under it comfortably. A well-planned short-ball tactic pays off. Abhishek departs for 15 off 10.

Head gets going with a single before Abhishek shifts gears -- launches a massive six to get the crowd going! A quiet finish to the over, but 9 runs come off it.

Vaibhav Arora takes over from the other end. Abhishek nudges one to point for a single, and then Head takes charge -- cracks a boundary, swings hard and misses, but Arora errs in line and gets punished again. Back-to-back boundaries! And then another -- make that three in a row. It's raining boundaries in Hyderabad!

After 2 overs, SRH are flying at 26/0.

15:33

Here are the playing XIs

Here are the playing XIs

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan(w), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Aniket Verma, Smaran Ravichandran, Pat Cummins(c), Shivang Kumar, Harshal Patel, Eshan Malinga

Impact subs: Praful Hinge, Harsh Dubey, Liam Livingstone, Sakib Hussain, Zeeshan Ansari

Kolkata Knight Riders: Ajinkya Rahane(c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi(w), Cameron Green, Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Rinku Singh, Anukul Roy, Sunil Narine, Vaibhav Arora, Kartik Tyagi, Varun Chakaravarthy

Impact subs: Finn Allen, Ramandeep Singh, Tejasvi Dahiya, Navdeep Saini, Tim Seifert

15:13

SRH opt to bat first vs KKR

Toss time in Hyderabad -- Sunrisers Hyderabad win it and choose to bat first against KKR.

Pat Cummins kept it simple at the toss. He feels the pitch looks really good, with not much moisture around. Admitting he's no pitch expert, he smiled and said it looks like a belter and could turn into a high-scoring game. He also confirmed two changes: Ravichandran Smaran and Harshal Patel come in for Nitish Reddy and Harsh Dubey.

KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane said he would've batted first as well, but feels the long break has done his side some good. KKR also have made two changes -- Tim Seifert and Manish Pandey come in, replacing Finn Allen and Ramandeep Singh.

14:51

SRH aim to extend winning streak

Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to continue their five-match winning streak and climb the IPL standings when they face a resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders in Hyderabad on Sunday.

SRH are third with 12 points from nine matches (6 wins, 3 losses), while KKR, coming off two consecutive wins, sit eighth in the 10-team tournament.

SRH boast a formidable batting line-up, led by Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen, the tournament's second and third highest run-scorers. Explosive Ishan Kishan can turn a game in moments, while Travis Head is back in form after a 76-run knock against Mumbai Indians in SRH's last match. Youngsters Nitish Kumar Reddy and Salil Arora have also stepped up when needed.

Containing SRH's firepower will be a major challenge for KKR's bowlers. SRH are bolstered by skipper Pat Cummins' return, supported by Praful Hinge, Eshan Malinga, Reddy, and Sakib Hussain. Confidence will be high after their 65-run victory over KKR at Eden Gardens earlier this season.

KKR are on a mini revival, winning two matches after five losses and a washout. Ajinkya Rahane's continued captaincy has been debated following a lackluster IPL 2025, though he has shown glimpses of positive intent with the bat.

KKR need contributions from players like Rachin Ravindra, Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Cameron Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and Rovman Powell, while their pace attack remains depleted and Varun Chakravarthy quiet.
