Bumrah and Coetzee delivered thunderbolts
The Kings struggled early in their chase of 193. Coetzee got them off to a good start by having Prabhsimran Singh caught behind down the leg side in the first over. Bumrah, at the other end, took the new ball and quickly removed franchise debutant Rilee Rossouw for a duck and new opener Sam Curran for 6.
Liam Livingstone, batting at No. 4, was dismissed after facing only two balls. He attempted to pull a 150kph Coetzee delivery but ended up slicing it back to the bowler. The score quickly deteriorated from 14 for 4 to 49 for 5 after Harpreet Singh Bhatia was caught by legspinner Shreyas Gopal. The situation worsened to 77 for 6 when Jitesh Sharma was dismissed lbw for nine by Madhwal.
