Abhishek Sharma (3) and Vaibhav Arora then put the game to bed early. However, Rahul Tripathi showed some threat with his action. He was run out after scoring 55 runs off 35 balls with the help of a six and 7 fours and Hyderabad once again suffered a bad defeat. Mitchell Starc returned to the pavilion along with Nitish Kumar Reddy (9) and Shabash Ahmed (0) on consecutive balls.

Heinrich Klaasen scored 32 and Battkmins scored 30 runs to give Hyderabad a respectable target. For the Kolkata team, Mitchell Starc took 3 wickets and Varun Chakraborty took 2 wickets. Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell took one wicket each.

Batting with a target of 160 runs, Kolkata Knight Riders won by scoring 164 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 13.4 overs. Captain Shreyas Iyer's 58 runs with the help of 4 sixes and 5 fours in 24 balls and Venkatesh Iyer's 51 runs with 4 sixes and 5 fours in 28 balls kept Vlasi unbeaten. Earlier, Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 23 runs and Sunil Narine scored 21 runs.

With this win, Kolkata Knight Riders qualified for the final for the fourth time. The team won the title in 2012 and 2014. In 2021, they lost to CSK and finished second. Commenting on the win, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer said, “It is great to make it to the final. Everyone in the team worked responsibly. The overall performance of the team is pleasing. We took full advantage of whatever opportunity we got.”

The way each bowler performed understanding the condition of the pitch was amazing. Despite the increase in the run rate, the batting technique of the batsmen is excellent. Each of our bowlers can perform differently. No one takes things lightly.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz played his first game but made an impact right from the start. Sunil Narine also continued that inspiration. After this, Venkatesh Iyer and I successfully completed the game in the middle order. We hope we will perform well in the final as well. Shreyas Iyer says.
