Live Cricket Score - KKR v RR, Match 47, IPL 2022

Glimmer of hope after 5 losses for KKR

Oh, after five losses, there is some hope for KKR. They have beaten RR by seven wickets. Rinku and Rana played the key roles with an unbeaten alliance of 66. In fact, Rinku took the pressure off his team-mate with a slew of shots.

In the 19th over, Rinku scored a couple of boundaries and 17 came off that over bowled by Prasidh, which in turn made the result of the match a foregone conclusion. Even though a few wides and a misfield helped KKR's cause. The umpiring in relation to adjudging wides has been inconsistent.

Rana provided the finishing touches with a six off Kuldeep Sen.

KKR inch closer

31 needed off 3 overs, with Rana still at the crease. Rinku Singh has also played his part with a six and a four off Kuldeep Sen and Prasidh Krishna. Even though the boundary was via the top-edge. But that four gave KKR some breathing space.

Wicket against the run of play

Oh, that wicket has come against the run of play and that too via a strangle down leg. Iyer aimed to pull but could only eke out an edge to the 'keeper. The umpire, though, didn't seem to hear the sound of the leather meeting the willow. He ended up giving it as a wide too! But Samson took the review and got it overturned.

RR needed that wicket desperately.

Key alliance

KKR needed a big over to get some momentum. It came in the 11th over when Rana smacked Ashwin for two fours and a six. KKR perhaps have edged ahead slightly now, with Iyer and Rana sharing a key alliance.

Hit-the-deck - trump card for RR

Prasidh followed Kuldeep Sen by removing Indrajith with a bumper. It was a good bouncer as he bent his back from a high-arm action and also gave no room for Indrajith. The batter could only pull it to fine leg. RR have two hit the deck pacemen and both are doing a fine job.
