IPL 2022, KKR vs SRH: Kolkata Knight Riders keep their slim hopes intact with win over Sunrisers Hyderabad
AS IT HAPPENEDThe road ahead became more difficult for SRH as they suffered their fifth consecutive defeat.

But it was the 66 run sixth-wicket stand between Sam Billings and Andre Russell that actually made the difference and saw KKR putting up a fighting score of 177 for six.
