Rashid Khan comes for his final over. It's all very easy at the moment for KKR. Tonight, SRH bowlers have not been able to keep up the pressure and failed to bag wickets. Not the time has come to take chances against Rashid too. Uthappa goes down the ground for a 4. He then follows it up with a monstrous six through the mid-wicket region. 15 runs come from it. It's 147/2 in 16 overs. KKR need 26 from 24 balls.
