Qualifier 2, KKR vs SRH: 4 Reasons why Kolkata lost to Hyderabad 

#4 Sunriser’s spinners have a field day

Kolkata got off to a strong start courtesy same big hitting at the top. Hyderabad needed their trump card, Rashid Khan, to get some wickets in the middle overs and the Afghan did not let them down. He started off with a peach of an over in which he gave away just 3 runs. In his next over, he got Hyderabad back in the game by dismissing Robin Uthappa. He trapped Chris Lynn in front of the stumps in his next over. In his last over, Rashid got Andre Russell caught at in the slips. His magical spell was responsible for taking the Sunrisers into the final. Khan got good support from Shakib from the other end who gave away just 16 runs from his 3 overs and picked up the crucial wicket of Dinesh Karthik.
