KKR Win Over SRH IPL Match 47 2023: In the 47th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) held on May 04, 2023; the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) faced off against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.

The match was a thrilling encounter between two teams that desperately needed a win. At the end of the game, KKR emerged victorious, winning by a narrow margin of 5 runs.

Winning the toss, KKR chose to bat first, hoping to put up a decent total and put pressure on their opponents. However, the match didn’t start well for KKR as their opening pair, Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, failed to live up to the expectations.

Gurbaz, playing his first game for KKR, was dismissed for a golden duck by Marco Jansen, while Roy struggled to get going against Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s swing. KKR was soon reduced to 35-3 in the fifth over as Roy was dismissed by Kartik Tyagi, who was playing his first match this season.

However, KKR’s middle-order batsmen, Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh, managed to steady the innings, scoring at a decent rate and taking the score past the 50-run mark. Markram introduced spin into the attack, and Mayank Markande and Aiden Markram were successful in slowing down the run-rate.

Rana was dismissed by Markram after scoring 42 runs, and Andre Russell, who was sent in to bat at number 5, struggled against the spinners before being dismissed by Markande.

KKR was in trouble at 106-5 in the 14th over, but Rinku Singh continued to play aggressively, hitting Jansen for two sixes in the 16th over. KKR scored 65 runs in the last five overs, thanks to Rinku’s 46 runs off 31 balls, which included three fours and three sixes. KKR finished their innings at 171-9, a total that they would have been satisfied with at the halfway stage.

KKR’s fast bowlers continued to trouble SRH’s batsmen, and Shardul Thakur picked up two quick wickets, dismissing Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi.

SRH was in trouble at 54-4 in the eighth over, but Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram steadied the innings with a 62-run partnership. Klaasen was particularly impressive, scoring 36 runs off just 24 balls, including three fours and two sixes. With SRH needing 48 runs off the last six overs, Klaasen was dismissed by Thakur, and the pressure started to mount on SRH.

Varun Chakravarthy, who had bowled two overs for just 12 runs earlier in the innings, was brought back into the attack in the 16th over, and he immediately put the brakes on SRH’s scoring.
