KKR vs LSG, IPL 2024 Live: BIG WIN FOR KOLKATA!
A sensational innings by Phil Salt leads KKR to a commanding victory at Eden Gardens. With a below-par target set by LSG, Salt ensured they had no chance of defending it. Apart from Mohsin Khan, the visitors' bowling lacked direction, and Salt capitalized on it. Conversely, KKR's bowling was spot on earlier in the day. Mitchell Starc excelled with the new ball and in the death overs, while Sunil Narine delivered another brilliant spell, conceding only 17 runs and building immense pressure on the timid LSG lineup. Despite a favorable batting pitch, there was a lack of urgency to score quickly until it was too late, leaving Pooran with too much to do to achieve a competitive total. Despite his efforts, they fell significantly short on that wicket.
