In one of the most exciting matches of IPL 2020, Kolkata Knight Riders edged past Sunrisers Hyderabad in a Super Over cliffhanger at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Lockie Ferguson, playing his first match of the season, cleaned up David Warner and Abdul Samad in the space of three deliveries with two runs on the board in the Super Over. After that, Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan finished off proceedings without any hiccups.

With valuable contributions from the batting unit, the Knight Riders posted 163 runs in 20 overs, with Shubman Gill top-scoring with 36.
Defending a modest total, Ferguson was instrumental in picking up three crucial wickets of Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg and Manish Pandey in the middle overs. His exploits of 3 for 15 runs in his four overs, along with his two wickets in the Super Over, helped us get over the line in a thrilling encounter.
The Kiwi fast bowler picked up the wicket of Williamson on the first ball after the field restrictions to break a promising 58-opening stand. He followed up with two vital scalps in the middle overs to turn the match in favour of Knights.
