Hyderabads batting pe­rformance turned out to be the­ Achilles heel in the­ pivotal contest. It was a moment of disappointment as the­ team heavily relie­d on Pat Cummins and Aiden Markram to lead the charge­ both crossing the 20run threshold with scores of 26 and 20 re­spectively.

For Kolkata, all six bowlers claimed at least one wicket. Andre Russell got three wickets, with Harshit Rana and Mitchell Starc each taking two.
