Best match in the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad head-to-head
Back in October 2018, the Knights and Sunrisers were involved in an absolute thriller at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium where the match went right down to the Super Over.
Here is a look at how the match unfolded:
Game No – 19
After being put in to bat first, the Knights put up a decent score of 163 for the loss of five wickets. Shubman Gill was the top-scorer for the Knight Riders after he scored 36 runs off 37 balls with the help of five fours.
But it was Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik, who both gave the KKR innings a finishing kick. While Morgan scored 34 off 23, Karthik stayed unbeaten on 29 off 14 with two fours and as many sixes. T Natarajan picked up two wickets for the Sunrisers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar couldn’t get a wicket, but gave away only 27 runs in four overs.
Jonny Bairstow and Kane Williamson laid a decent platform for the Sunrisers by putting on 58 runs for the opening wicket off 6.1 overs. But the Sunrisers struggled somewhat after Lockie Ferguson got the wicket of Williamson. However, David Warner scored 47 off 33 to take the game into the Super Over.
In the one-over eliminator, Ferguson dismissed Warner and Abdul Samad. With KKR needing three runs to chase, Karthik and Morgan took KKR past the finish line. Ferguson became the Player of the Match for finishing with figures of 4-0-13-5 and holding his nerve in the Super Over/
