CSK vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2023: Rinku, Rana do it for the Knight Riders

 

What looked like a tough chase as the Kolkata Knight Riders were reduced to 33/3 in the fifth over. However, those three were the last till the start of the 18th over as Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana put up a 99-run match-winning partnership in 76 balls. It was more than enough for the Kolkata side to chase down 145 with nine balls to spare even as Rinku was run out with 13 runs yet to be scored. 

 

Deepak Chahar took three wickets for his team. Earlier in the evening, after winning the toss and electing to bet first, Chennai were restricted to 144/6 as the spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy picked four wickets and conceded only 51 runs in the eight overs that they bowled together.
