Hardik Pandya returned for GT as he won the toss and chose to bat. While other batters struggled to get going he got to his third consecutive 50 of the season as he came into bat at no 3. His 50 propelled GT to 156.
At one time it looked like GT might get anywhere close to 170-180 but they lost their way in the end overs as they lost 7 wickets for just 23 runs, including 4 in the final over of Andre Russell.
KKR did not start their chase well as they lost both their openers to Mohammad Shami. GT continued to chip away with wickets. But Andre Russell kept KKR in the game till the last over of the match. But a brilliant catch by Locky Ferguson ended his innings.
KKR have just 3 wins in 8 games and their problems are just increasing with each loss.
