Punjab Kings vs Knight Riders, IPL 2022 Highlights: Punjab Kings Hit by Russell Muscle; KKR Win With 33 Balls To Spare

Back to back sixes again and KKR made a mockery of Punjab Kings to beat them by six wickets. That over from Odean Smith changed the game completely….30 runs coming off it.

FIFTY for Andre Russell, single handedly turned the game in their favour, meanwhile he gets FIFTY off just 27 balls. Awesome stuff.

That over from Odean Smith was 30 runs! The last ball was a no ball which went for maximum by Sam Billings. KKR need 24 off 43 balls. This game has turned.

Three sixes….by Andre Russell and this game has changed completely. He hit his own compatriot for 18 runs and the equation has reduced to 37 off 49 balls. KKR 102/4(12)

As it seems, Rahul Chahar is the dangerman since he is bowling at the right areas. Therefore, KKR is playing out his overs safely, so that they can target the rest. They need 59 off 54 balls.

KKR were struggling to get the runs and that’s when Andre Russell came up with this huge six..maximum. KKR needed this. As Punjab Kings continue to operate with spinner. KKR 72/4(9.5)

Wow…what an over from Rahul Chahar there. Accounted for a double wicket maiden which saw the wickets of Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana—two mainstays and now the pressure back on KKR. PBKS 54/4(8.1)

KKR fans must be getting anxious as Shreyas Iyer throws his wicket away. Rahul Chahar tries to hit it around the ground but mistimes that one, gets caught and Punjab Kings are right back into this. KKR 51/3

Another failure for Venkatesh Iyer here. It was short from Odean Smith which he hit straight to the covers which was expertly held by Harpreet Brar. In comes Sam Billings. KKR 51/2(5.4)

Both the Iyers are in the middle and looking really good. Unlike Arshdeep, Kagiso Rabada is keeping it really tight. But couldn’t stop a boundary. KKR 33/1(4)

Back to back boundaries off Shreyas Iyer here. First one he hit it through the covers and the next one was helped away towards the third man. KKR going great guns as they are 26/1(3.1)

Rahane didn’t see the short ball coming and edged it straight to slip where Odean Smith took an outstanding catch. Really impressive performance from Rabada who had hit some lusty blows with the bat and now picks up Rahane with the ball. KKR 15/1(2)

And gets off the mark with a boundary on the leg side. The ball was straying on his legs and he just helps it on its way. What a shot. Two balls later another FOUR. Great start. KKR (8/0)(1)

Ajinkya Rahane taking guard in the middle. A nice opportunity for him to get some runs here as the score is not on the higher side. Will he make it count? KKR 0/0(0.0)

That will be it. A run out and stupendous catch from Tim Southee makes sure that KKR bowl out Punjab for 137 runs. The first six overs saw 62 runs and then it all came to a crashing hault. Do join us after the break.

A bad over ends with a huge SIX. That was Shivam Mavi who had conceded an excess of 30 runs in his two overs. Erratic bowling, as Punjab gets all the crucial runs. 17 coming off it. PBKS 137/8(18)

Kiwi pacer gets away with the over after giving away 16 runs. Comes back well with the good old slow balls and finishes his four overs, giving away 36 runs for 2 wickets.  PBKS 120/8(17)

Wow, what an over this is turning out to be, 4,4,6 and a NO BALL. Batter is Kagiso Rabada. Can you believe this? This is an awesome counter attack from this tail ender…crucial runs. PBKS 120/8(16.4)

WICKET! Another wicket for Umesh Yadav, can he take a fifer? No. His four over ends. 4-0-23-4…outstanding figures. PBKS are on the verge of getting bowled out at Wankhede. PBKS 102/8(15)
