Kolkata: Sunrisers Hyderabad continued their winning run in the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL) by beating Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets at the Eden Gardens on Saturday.
Earlier in the first innings, Bhuvneshwar Kumar starred as the visitors restricted Dinesh Karthik and co to 138-8. And they continued the momemtum in the second half to clinch their third victory of the season.
Wriddhiman Saha delivered an explosive start for the Sunrisers but the hosts bounced back through spinners Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav as they claimed three quick wickets.
Later on, Kane Williamson and Shakib Al Hasan steered the innings with a crucial 69-run stand. The men in purple dismissed the duo soon but by then things had already slipped out of their hands. (DC)
