IPL 2024: KKR Crushes Lackluster RCB at Home

Last night, the Kolkata Knight Riders defeated their arch rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore convincingly at the Chinnaswamy stadium.

RCB batted first and posted a very respectable total of 182 runs on the Board. Virat Kohli played anchor on a slowish double paced pitch, scoring an uneaten 83*.

In reply, KKR never looked under pressure with the bat. Phil Salt and Sunil Narine went after the bowlers from the very first over. The power play score of KKR was 85/0. Narine departed for 47 off 22 deliveries and Venkatesh Iyer took over. Venky Iyer was joined by Shreyas Iyer in the middle and the two finished the job for KKR.

KKR got to their target with 19 balls to spare, earning a huge boost in their Net Run Rate.
