SRH VS KKR: Lockie Ferguson shines as Kolkata beat Hyderabad in Super Over

SRH needed 17 to tie the scores in the last over and Warner, who didn't face the first delivery, smashed three consecutive boundaries as he knocked off 15 to extend the duration of the match.

Abu Dhabi: Fast bowler Lockie Ferguson on Sunday was the star as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a Super Over at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. This was the third time this season that a match had to be decided with a Super Over but Ferguson ended up making it a farce as he took both of SRH's wickets for just two runs in three balls.

SRH captain David Warner, who came at no.4 instead of his usual opening position, struggled to get going for most of the innings but smashed three consecutive fours in the last over to swing the momentum SRH's way. A single off the last, which was called leg bye, ensured that SRH reach 163/6 and the game thus went into a Super Over. Warner was unbeaten on 47 off 33 balls.
