KKR strangle LSG at Eden Gardens
KKR managed to contain LSG to 161/7, thanks to Sunil Narine's tight bowling during the middle overs and Mitchell Starc's effective final over. Narine conceded only 17 runs in four overs, and Starc capped off the innings by taking two wickets for just six runs in the last over.
LSG's innings seemed in trouble at 111/5 by the 15th over, but Nicholas Pooran provided a vital boost with a brisk 45 runs off 32 balls, hitting four sixes and two fours. However, his efforts to reach a half-century were thwarted in the final over by Starc, who dismissed him and then Arshad Khan, securing a strong finish for KKR.
KL Rahul, comfortable against the pacers, faced difficulties later in the innings. He managed a six off Andre Russell but then lost his wicket the next ball, caught by Ramandeep Singh at deep midwicket.
