KKR Crushes SRH in lopsided Qualifier 1 win!

KKR's bowlers were on FIRE tonight! They shut down the dangerous SRH batting order for a measly 159 runs. Starc was the star of the show, taking 3 wickets and swinging the new ball like a madman.

SRH tried to fight back with Tripathi's fifty, but a mix-up ended their only good partnership. They even had to use their impact sub early, who got dismissed after just one ball! ‍

Chasing a low total, KKR's openers got them off to a flying start. Then, Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer (not related!) took over with some amazing batting, scoring their fifties in no time and sealing the win with almost 4 overs to spare! Easy peasy for KKR!

This win books their spot in the IPL 2024 finals! SRH, on the other hand, will have to fight their way back through the Eliminator.
