Chasing 199, KKR had a shaky start with Rahmanullah Gurbaz dismissed early. Ajinkya Rahane tried to steady the innings with a gritty 50 off 36 balls, and Sunil Narine added 17 runs before departing.

However, lack of partnerships and consistent wickets hindered KKR’s chase. Andre Russell (21), Rinku Singh (17), Venkatesh Iyer (14), and Ramandeep Singh (1) failed to convert starts. Impact Player Angkrish Raghuvanshi remained unbeaten on 27, with Harshit Rana alongside him (1*), but the target was too far.
