IPL 2024: Narine, Venkatesh Iyer Help KKR To Easy 7-wicket Win Over RCB Despite Kohli's 83* (Ld)
Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine hammered a 22-ball 47 and Venkatesh Iyer struck an electrifying half-century for Kolkata Knight Riders after their bowlers came up with a decent performance to restrict Royal Challengers Bengaluru, propelled by Virat Kohli's unbeaten 83, and set up a seven-wicket win that broke the trend of home-team wins in the Indian Premier League 2024, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Friday.
After Narine set the tone for KKR with a blazing innings on a pitch that had eased out in the second innings with the dew too playing a role, Venkatesh (50) and Shreyas (39 not out) ensured KKR won with a bit of gas still in the tank.
It was an emphatic victory for KKR as they won with 19 balls to spare and maintained their domination of Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Chinnaswamy, winning their sixth successive match at RCB's home. This is their second win in as many matches this season. KKR thus moved to the second spot on the points table behind Chennai Super Kings. RCB suffered their second defeat in three games and how they lost will leave them disappointed.
