IPL: KKR survive Klaasen epic in thrilling last-over win over Sunrisers

Andre Russel's all-round effort headlined Kolkata Knight Riders' sweaty four-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match on Saturday. Russell's brutal unbeaten 64 off 25 balls with three fours and seven sixes and Phil Salt's more pragmatic 54 off 40 balls guided KKR to 208 for seven. At several points, SRH threatened to chase 208 down, particularly when Heinrich Klaasen (63, 29b, 8x6s) went berserk in the backend of the innings. But the Hyderabad side fell agonisingly close to the target.

India's series-levelling win against England at the ACA-VDCA Stadium was boosted by Rohit Sharma's team's ability to withstand England's aggressive approach.

England needed 205 more to win at that stage but Jonny Bairstow lost the review after being given out to Bumrah by Chris Gaffaney and England went to lunch at 194/6. from Cricket News: Latest Cricket News, Live Scores, Results, Upcoming match Schedules | Times of India https://ift.tt/RGX9E7Q via IFTTT
