The Indian spinner and Sunil Narine shared three wickets as SRH failed to post a massive total. Rahul Tripathi's 55-run knock and a Cummins cameo (30) lifted SRH to 159 in 19.3 overs.

Replacing Phil Salt as Sunile Narine's opening partner, Rahmanullah Gurbaz smashed 23 off 14 balls as Kolkata Knight Riders reached 63-1 in 6 overs. However, Gurbaz was removed by pacer T Natarajan inside the first six overs. For the ninth time, KKR crossed the 60-run mark in the powerplay.

Narine's entertaining 16-ball 21 was followed by quick-fire half-centuries from Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer as Kolkata Knight Riders made a mockery of the 160-run chase at the world's largest cricket stadium. Venkatesh smashed 51 off 28 balls while Shreyas played a captain's knock of 58 (24) to help KKR thrash SRH by 8 wickets. With the statement win in the playoff 2024, two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders have made it to their fourth IPL final.
