It was not like any other matches as it was a very important and deciding match between the two teams, by which one could go for the finale. And by winning the match, KKR did so and they got to the finale
The Match
Toss went in the favour of team SRH, who opted to bat first and set the chasing mark for the other team which were the Kolkata Knight Riders/ KKR to chase after.
SRH Inning's
Starting the match, Abhishek Sharma, who has bagged the highest number of sixes in this years IPL T20 season, 2024 went for opening the match yesterday pairing up with Travis Head against KKR. But even playing this very good in this season and being in form didn’t helped them to bring the win for their team SRH last night in Narendra Modi’s Ahmedabad stadium, as the Bowlers of the opponent team KKR was full on Bang On! Taking Wickets on Wickets, Mitchel Starc gave some really fearsome bowls on the pitch which made Abhishek sharma and travis head go back to pavillion with a broken heart.
Also, Nitish Reddy and shabbaz Ahmed too, fell prey for the briliant bowler of the match yeasterday at the Modi stadium ahmedabad, he made them go back to the pavillion disheartened.
KKR's Response
KKR opens up its duo, Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and those two players played it very well yesterday.But after some time Venkatesh Iyer joined Sunil Narine when Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out. Then comes the Skipper Shreyas Iyer and both of them took the team to victory not losing any more wickets after they came, and the catch misses by SRH went well for KKR.
Players of the Match!
Shreyas Iyer Being the captain of the team KKR is the one who led two teams to the finals till date. He took Delhi Capitals in 2020 for the finals and this time its KKR. By this he became the first ever captain to do such thing, taking two teams to the finals of the IPL T20 India.
Mitchell Starc, taking some of the most crucial wickets and making the game easier to play for the batsmen of his team ‘KKR’ has done an incredible job.
Conclusion
SRH winnning the toss and deciding to Bat first maybe was their wrong decision. But KKR took the advantage to it and played very well, both bowlers and batmen played it to their best for the team which led them to victory and got the position to be on the finale table.
