47/0 vs RCB Sharjah
51/0 vs MI Abu Dhabi

Short from Russell this time but doesn't have the height to threaten Bairstow who had backed away early to make room. Muscles the pull away through square leg. This is a rollicking start for Hyderabad. SRH- 35/0 after 4 overs
Kane Williamson is out to open with Jonny Bairstow in a surprise move. Pat Cummins has the ball and he begins well for Kolkata. Five dot balls at a stretch. Bairstow's got survival on his mind right now and he ends the over with a two. SRH: 2/0 (1 over)
Eoin Morgan (34 off 23) and Dinesh Karthik (29* off 19) bring back Kolkata from the dead as they looked once to end for a paltry score. With 42 runs in the last three overs, the veterans thumped Thampi and co. to guide KKR to 163/5 at the end of the 20 overs.
With the burden of captaincy gone, Karthik (29*) has come into fine form. After hitting Sandeep for a flat six to the leg side in the previous over, Karthik now smacks Natarajan for a four and a spell-ending maximum. 14 runs off the over. KKR: 147/4 (19 overs)
Finally! After 14 balls without any ball going to the ropes, Morgan injects some confidence in his side with a four against Thampi. Karthik hits another. KKR have two finishers at the crease and one of them will have to stay till the last ball. KKR: 121/4 (17 overs)
Another one bites the dust! Natarajan gets the big fish as the unsettled Russell fell prey to his delivery. With the pressure of dot balls piling up, the West Indies all-rounder tried to hit it big but instead finds Shankar. He departs on 9. KKR: 105/4 (15 overs)
And down goes the house of cards! After Gill, now Rana makes his way back to the pavilion as his lofted shot is caught by a running Garg. That man again. Shankar with the dismissal. Both the set batsmen are gone. Rana gone for 29. KKR: 88/3 (12.1 overs)
BREATHROUGH! Rashid gets his revenge! After being hit by a six by Rana (28*) again, the leg-spinner spins a web around his partner. Gill mistimes his shot and the ball lands in the hands of the diving Garg. The opener departs on 36. KKR: 87/2 (11.4 overs)
Kolkata were aiming to target Shankar before the match, but with him bowling comparatively well, Gill and Tripathi have taken the tougher route. Rana hits Rashid of all people for two brilliant straight boundaries. 13 runs off the over. KKR: 77/1 (10 overs)
David Warner brings on Vijay Shankar immediately after the powerplay and gets hit for a fortuitous four by Gill. Rashid Khan follows it up with yet another economical over giving away just four runs. Gill and Rana taking it slow for now. KKR: 57/1 (8 overs)
After Gill smacked Thampi for three consecutive boundaries in the last over, he takes on Natarajan now. Just how Tripathi hit him for boundaries, the youngster clobbers him for a four down the leg-side. Tripathi is hit on his elbow and receives some treatment, and on the very next ball... Natarajan just sends his bails flying in the air. Bowled. The batsman departs on 23*. KKR: 48/1 (6 overs)
T Natarajan, the yorker king, comes into the attack and he is smacked for a humongous six off his second ball of the innings by the more enterprising Tripathi (21*). He ends the over with a well-timed pull towards the rope. 13 runs off the over. KKR: 28/0 (4 overs)
Basil Thampi comes into the attack, and he almost get his first wicket of the season but Rashid fails to hold on to a simple catch. Gill survives a scare there. Just the six runs off the over. The batsmen are taking time to settle here. KKR: 12/0 (2 overs)
Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi are in the crease. Sandeep Sharma has the ball. Gill takes a single, and Tripathi starts the party early with the first boundary of the innings. Six runs off the over. A balanced start. Hyderabad has six bowling options today as they have included Basil Thampi and Abdul Samad in places of Shahbaz Nadeem and Khaleel Ahmed. KKR: 6/0 (1 over)
Eoin Morgan: "We will have to improve our basics better, we didn't do that against MI in our last match. Two changes for us - Kuldeep and Lockie in, for Green and Prasidh. We don't want to rush Sunil back, we'll give him some time."
