IPL 2024 Final LIVE UPDATES - KKR beats SRH by 8 wickets; clinches title for the third time
Cummins strikes early!
OUT! Narine goes for six runs. The skipper picks up an early wicket SRH. Just one ball after hitting a six, Narine gets top edge which was comfortably taken by Shahbaz Ahmed.
A much needed start for SRH.
KKR 5/0 in 1 over
Bhuvneshwar Kumar starts off with the new ball. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine opens for KKR. Bhuvi is spot on with his lengths.
KKR need 114 runs to win
114 runs to win for Kolkata Knight Riders in 120 balls. Not a huge task for the two time champions. But anything can happen in a final. However, this is the lowest total ever in a IPL final.
SRH bowled out for 113 runs in 18.3 overs
OUT! That's it. Russell picks his third. And Cummins went for a big one but didn't time it well, caught in mid-on by Starc.
SRH 113/9 in 18 overs
OUT! Sunil Narine gets Unadkat (4). It's a LBW.
5 runs and a wicket from that over.
SRH 108/8 in 17 overs
Harshit Rana bowls his final over. Cummins hits it over extra covers and.... it's a SIX! Good effort from Russell, but he touched the rope with the ball in his hand. Something to cheer for the SRH fans.
It's Strategic Timeout!
SRH 98/8 in the end of 16 overs. They need their skipper to do some miracle to post a decent total from now on.
SRH 98/8 in 16 overs
Sunil Narine bowls his third over. Cummins hits it over mid on didn't time it well.... Ah! Starc puts in down. Well that's unusual.
Cummins survives.
SRH 90/8 in 15 overs
In comes Jayadev Unadkat with the bat. Not something he would have thought coming into the game.
It's a wicket maiden! Harshit Rana bowled a stellar over.
