Kolkata Knight Riders Enter Fourth IPL Final With Dominant Win Over Sunrisers Hyderabad
Mitchell Starc-powered Kolkata Knight Riders' juggernaut rolled into the IPL final as the two-time champions produced a ruthless performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad for an eight-wicket win in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday.
