Kolkata have beaten Hyderabad by 5 runs in Thursday's Indian 20 League fixture in another last-over fixture this season.

Kolkata won the toss and elected to bat first in Hyderabad and posted 171/9 with Rinku Singh top-scoring with 46 and skipper Nitish Rana making 42. Hyderabad's Marco Jansen set the tone early, striking twice in his first over and then Karthik Tyagi got the crucial wicket of Jason Roy as Hyderabad were 35/3 within 5 overs. The team recovered to get to 127/5 after 14.2 overs with Rinku and Nitish scoring 61 for the fourth wicket, but once they got out, the team couldn’t switch gears at the right time and ended up with 171/9.

Hyderabad’s chase was slow to get off the blocks with Mayank, Abhishek, Rahul Tripathi and Harry Brook out by the 7th over and the team was 61/4. Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram stitched a 70-run fifth wicket stand to get the team to 48 needed from 36. The equation in the end was  9 needed from 6 but Varun Chakravarthy managed to bowl a tight over and conceded just 3 as Kolkata won by 5 runs.
