Andre Russell delivered the final blow as KKR wrapped up a dominant victory at Eden Gardens. Harshal Patel attempted a wild heave across the line but only managed to send the ball straight up in the air. Russell calmly took the catch, sealing SRH’s crushing defeat.  

It was a one-sided affair, with KKR outclassing their opponents in every department. SRH’s batting lineup crumbled under relentless pressure, and their chase never gained any real momentum. The writing had been on the wall for quite some time.  

This emphatic win will be a massive boost for KKR, not just in points but also in net run rate. Meanwhile, SRH will have plenty to reflect on as they attempt to bounce back from this heavy defeat. KKR win by 80 runs.

Here’s the next part of the summary:

Varun Chakravarthy struck twice in the 16th over, tightening KKR’s grip on the match. Pat Cummins fell first, miscuing a slog straight to long on, leaving SRH reeling at eight down. Simarjeet Singh followed immediately, bowled through the gate by a stunning delivery that spun sharply back in.

With SRH down to their last wicket, Mohammed Shami walked in to join Harshal Patel. Chakravarthy nearly completed a hat-trick, but Shami survived. The required run rate had skyrocketed to 21 runs per over, making SRH’s task nearly impossible.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack continued to strangle SRH, with Varun and Arora leading the charge. Every dot ball pushed SRH further into desperation, and their chase looked all but over.

Sunil Narine struck in the 10th over as Kamindu Mendis mistimed a pull shot straight to deep midwicket. Aniket Verma walked in and immediately made his presence felt with a classy boundary. However, with SRH needing 129 off the last 10 overs, the pressure was mounting.

Varun Chakravarthy joined the attack in the 11th over and removed Aniket Verma, who miscued a slog to deep midwicket. Pat Cummins arrived at the crease and got off the mark with a cheeky lap shot for four. Klaasen, at the other end, looked determined to take the game deep.

Klaasen took charge in the 14th over, smashing Narine for back-to-back sixes to keep SRH's hopes alive. However, KKR missed a chance to dismiss him when UltraEdge revealed a nick that went unnoticed. With the required run rate soaring past 15, SRH needed something special.

Vaibhav Arora delivered a crucial blow in the 15th over, dismissing Klaasen for 33 with a well-disguised slower bouncer. SRH’s chase took another hit, leaving Cummins and Harshal Patel with an uphill task. Despite some quick singles, the asking rate climbed to an almost impossible 17.4 runs per over.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Arora and Narine, kept SRH in check. The fall of Klaasen all but sealed the game for KKR, with only tailenders left to chase an improbable 87 off 30 balls. Cummins and Harshal needed a miracle from there.

With the match slipping away, SRH’s batters struggled to find the boundary. KKR’s bowlers maintained tight lines, and the fielders backed them up with sharp work. As the equation worsened, KKR edged closer to sealing a convincing victory at Eden Gardens.

Kamindu Mendis takes on Russell with two massive sixes and a cracking four.  

Nitish Kumar Reddy throws his wicket away with a soft flick straight to Narine. He won’t believe how easily he gifted that.  

Klaasen joins Kamindu, keeping the strike moving.  

SRH in trouble at 51/4 after 7 overs.

Sunrisers only managed to get 33 from the powerplay and they are now falling far behind of total. 

Arora struck in the first ball as Ajinkya Rahane took a top catch to dismiss Ishan Kishan.

Arora could have had a double-wicket maiden if Russell had not missed Kamindu Mendis’s catch in the final ball.

SRH 9/3 after 3. 

Rapid Rahane, Rampant #KKR 🔝 👊

A superb catch to highlight a dream start for KKR in the field 👌

After two singles in the next four balls, Raghuvanshi took advantage of a full toss in the final ball to get a four through the cover region!

KKR 71/2 after 8. 

On a wicket where we can expect a slow turn, SRH introduces spin in the 7th over. 

A couple came from the first ball and then Rahane punched one for a four, helped by a missed fielding by Nitish Kumar Reddy on the boundary line. 

Zeeshan bowled a tad short in that over but it was not coming not to the bat that great for Rahane to take charge. 

KKR 63/2 after 8 as we head into a break. 

It was a good power play for KKR after a poor start.

He only managed to get an edge to Klassen! 

KKR 17/2 after three overs! 

Pat Cummins gets the better off Quinton de Kock! 

Cummins pitched it short and knew the southpaw batter will go for the shot. 

Quinton made a good connection but it went straight to the only deep fielder on the leg side. 

Earlier Sunil Narine started the over well with a six over leg side but SRH ended the over on a happy note! 

KKR 14/1 after 2! 

Steady start from both sides! 

Four leg byes from Shami was the only poor thing we had in the over.

Shami is someone who knows this wicket and ground. 

Seven from the first over!

KKR subs: Manish Pandey, Vaibhav Arora, Anukul Roy, Rovman Powell, Luvnith Sisodia

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss, and they will bowl first.

The story is almost the same for SRH, but they have a better NRR than KKR.

After winning their first match of the season, with nearly a record first inning total, SRH could not keep their momentum. They lost their second game at home against Lucknow Super Giants and then suffered a huge defeat against Delhi Captials in Visakhapatnam. 

1 win in 3 games and 2 defeats; the defending champions have not looked their best till now. They first faced a defeat in the opening match of the season at Eden Gardens. Then, they came back with a win over RR in Guwahati. However, the could not keep the momentum as they faced a huge defeat against Mumbai at Wankhede. 

After many rumours and speculations, we will see a dry pitch at Eden Gardens, which will surely help the spinners of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Ajinkya Rahane and company will surely look to take the "home advantage" to restrict the batting lineup of SRH. 

However, SRH also has someone like Adam Zampa in their ranks, who can be lethal on this wicket as well, 

KKR has dominated the team from South India in the IPL so far. In the 28 games between the teams so far, KKR has won 19 and SRH, in the meantime, were victorious only 9 times. 

Moreover, currently, KKR has a 4 games winning streak over SRH in IPL.

Date: 3rd April 2025

Time: 7.30 am IST

Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata

What a thriller unfolded in the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur!

Jamshedpur FC struck a late winner in the first leg of the second semi-final to beat Mohun Bagan SG 2-1!

The Red Miner had drawn the first blood in the 24th minute with Javier Siverio's header. However, Jason Cummings netted a world-class free-kick in the 37th minute of the game to equalize it for the Mariners. The game was all square at the break, and despite salvaging many opportunities, both teams failed to score in the regulation time. However, Javi Hernandez fired a powerful strike right into Bagan's net in the first minute of the stoppage time to snatch away the lead in the semi-final tie.

Jamshedpur will be boosted by this victory and will travel to Kolkata to face Mohun Bagan SG in the return leg on April 7th, 2025.

In: Lazar Cirkovic, Sreekuttan

Out: Jordan Murray, Nikhil Barla

Anirudh Thapa flashed a well-placed right-footed strike on target that was saved and punched over the bar by Albino!

Following this, Stephen Ezer received a yellow card, and he will be suspended for the second leg.

JAMSHEDPUR ARE AHED IN THE TIE!

Ritwik Das had all the space in front of him on the right as Javi Hernandez made a trigger run into the box. Ritwik produced a brilliant grounder; and Javi, the Jamshedpur skipper, stormed it home with a powerful strike from inside the box in an unmarked position!

The former Mohun Bagan man puts the Red Miners ahead at home!

Dimitri Petratos tried to curl the ball past the defensive wall while attempting a free-kick far from the target, but the wall denied him well.

In: Ritwik Das

In: Ashique Kuruniyan, Dimitri Petratos

Out: Sahal Abdul Samad, Jason Cummings

Jordan Murray looked dangerous as he danced through the Bagan defence, but Alberto obstructed him with a touch on the ball. The ball bounced off the pitch, but Javi's header was way over the target.

Vishal Kaith made an immediate collection following Murray's cross from the right that deflected off Subhasish.

In: Jamie Maclaren

Out: Greg Stewart

Liston sailed a brilliant cross from the right as the ball bounced off the pitch, where Subhasish had a touch in front of the ball but failed to connect with it well.

Deepak Tangri unleashed an ambitious right-footed strike from a distance, which was deflected by Pronay.

Although the match sees the tempo slowed down, both teams will definitely offer more actions. As of now, the Mariners and the Red Miners are keeping their defence intact.

Vishal Kaith was way off his line, and Stephen Eze produced a long-ranger shot from all the way down the middle from the left, but the ball went wide off the post.

Alberto Rodriguez's header following the Liston corner went upwards inside the box as Albino Gomes jumped high to claim the ball.

In: Rei Tachikawa

Out: Javier Siverio

Javier Siverio received a booking for a rough tackle on Tom Aldred from behind.

Anirudh Thapa anticipated the second ball inside the box. He sliced a strike that was resiliently blocked by Mohammad Uvais.

Anrirudh Thapa made a brilliant forward pass to find Stewart on the left inside the box, but the Bagan midfielder's strike was denied by Albino coming off the line!

Sahal chipped the rebound ball into the penalty area, but Jason Cummings touched it with his hand while trying to chest-trap, resulting into a foul.

Liston Colaco unleashed a right-footed curling strike from a distance, but the chance went begging as the ball went wide of the right post.

Jamshedpur gets things going again.

Jordan Murray produced a cross from the right in a quick turn, as Sanan met the ball on the other end. However, his header went inches off the near post.

Sahal Abdul Samad unleashed a powerful strike from a distance, but that went wide off to the right post.

Liston Colaco, Anirudh Thapa, and Greg Stewart orchestrated the string of passes in a triangle manner inside the box, trying to utilize the half-space, but Pronay made a good clearance.

JASON CUMMINGS IS UNBELIEVABLE!

Mohun Bagan received a free-kick almost 35 yards out into the middle, as Jason Cummings stormed his left-footed free-kick with a perfectly placed strike that went into the net through the right top bin!

Absolute world-class from the Australian wizard!

The Mariners are back in business!

Ashutosh Mehta is shown the yellow for a nasty tackle on Jason Cummings, obstructing him in an open attack.

He will be suspended for the return leg on April 7th.

So so close for Mohun Bagan!

Greg Stewart sailed the ball into the penalty area from a set-piece free-kick, which was headed by Alberto on target. However, the ball hit the woodwork and bounced off right in front of the goal-line. Albino turned behind and quickly collected the ball, killing off the danger.

The Jamshedpur defence line has completely shut down Bagan's attacking frontier. Brilliant defensive workload from Ashutosh Mehta, Pronay Halder, and Nikhilm Barla.

The ball drifted away from Eze's header following the cross delivered from the left. Javier Siverio found himself unmarked in an open space on the right side of the goal and swiftly headed the ball into Bagan's net through the bottom right corner! 

The hosts are ahead! 

Uvais produced a long throw that was headed in by Eze, but Vishal stays alert in making a good collection.

Asish Rai seems to have sustained a mild concussion while blocking Sanan's cross as the ball hit his head. He is receiving medical attention.

Javi Hernandez sailed a sublime cross into the box from the set-piece free-kick, which was brilliantly claimed by Vishal Kaith, who came off his line.

Sahal Abdul Samad produced a through pass in a short space on the edge of the box, but Pronay Halder seems to have started from where he left off in the knockout.

Anirudh Thapa and Asish Rai played one-two on the right to generate some space, but Stephen Eze shielded Rai well to let Albino easily collect the ball.

Such a brilliant attack was executed by Jamshedpur FC, as Barla put up a grounded cross from the right that was guarded by Aldred at first. The rebound ball struck by Sanan seemingly hit Asish Rai's hands. The Red Miners appealed loudly, but the referee did not give attention.

Javi Hernandez sprinted solo upwards from the left and passed it to Jordan Murray, but the forward sailed his cross over the crossbar.

Things are underway in Jamshedpur!

So it will be another El Classico in the Copa Del Rey final in Sevilla. Barcelona were the better team and attacked more in the first half, resulting in a goal from Ferran Torres. They could have scored more if they had latched onto the chances created mainly by Lamine Yamal. 

But atletico Madrid brought in three changes at the start of the second half, which made them attack more frequently and freely. 

However, despite a few chances, they were not able to score. Jules Kounde was excellent for Barcelona, making multiple blocks in the final 15 mins of the game. 

This means that Barcelona will meet Real Madrid in the Copa del Dey final and will be another step closer to their target of a treble.

However, there was no red and white shirt at the far post to take advantage. 

I think I will have to keep saying his name throughout the match. 

Yamal with a side of the boot pass for Raphinha at the front of the box. But, Azpilicueta came in rescue for Atletico. 

Cubarsi with a long ball for Lmaine Yamal to make the run on the right. 

Yamal went for the cross for Torres, but Giménez came in between. His deflection went straight to Musso. 

Here we go in Madrid!

Barcelona, in their away jersey, starts things off!
