IPL 2020: KKR, KXIP hold their nerves to trump SRH, MI in dramatic Super Over finishes

Kolkata Knight Riders' Lockie Ferguson impressed on his first outing in IPL 2020 as his team beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in a thrilling Super Over finish. Ferguson registered figures of 3/15, and also picked up both wickets during the Super Over to take KKR over the finish line. It was a dramatic night in IPL altogether, with the later clash between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab witnessing two Super Overs, where Punjab finally prevailed. Sportzpics
It was a mixed outing for KKR batsmen as most of them got starts again, but failed to capitalise. Shubman Gill was the team's top-scorer with 36 runs, as KKR finished at 163-5 after being put into bat. Sportzpics
T Natarajan was the top wicket-taker, finishing with figures of 2/40. Sportzpics
Chasing 164, SRH's move to promote Kane Williamson up the order backfired after he scored just 29 runs off 19 balls. However, he was involved in a 58-run stand with Jonny Bairstow to lay the momentum for Hyderabad. Sportzpics
With wickets falling at the other end, the onus was on Warner, who scored 47 runs off 334 balls to level the scores and force into a Super Over. SRH could manage only two runs in the Super Over, and Kolkata eased past in that chase within the first four balls. Sportzpics
