KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS vs ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE live score

Over 20. 10 runs. Bowler: Chris Morris. Kolkata Knight Riders: 8-84(rr 4.20)

OUT! Run Out. Chris Morris to Lockie Ferguson. Full toss, to leg backing away flick, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 1 run, fielded by Singh, by Morris. Run Out!! Goodness, gracious! What happened there? Hare-brained running has cost KKR a wicket here off the last ball. KKR looking for any runs possible but Gurkeerat Singh comes up with a decent throw to the bowler's end. KKR have lost yet another wicket and have only managed to make 84 for the loss of eight wickets. This is the lowest total in IPL without being bowled out. Previously it was 92 for eight. Probably not the record KKR were rooting to break but it's just not their day. Eoin Morgan top-scored with 30. He has played the role of an anchor but others haven't helped him. For RCB, Mohammed Siraj picked up three wickets and he is also the only bowler to bowl two consecutive maidens in the history of IPL. Yuzvendra Chahal picked up a couple of wickets. RCB might experiment with their batting as they are chasing a very low total. Stay tuned for the second innings.
