Brook hundred eclipses Rinku, Rana as SRH coast to successive wins

Harry Brook registered his maiden IPL ton – also the first century of IPL 2023 – to lay the platform for SRH’s massive score of 228 for 4 after they were put in to bat. In reply, KKR started slowly but Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh cracked quick-fire half-centuries to help the side past the 200-run mark but eventually fell 23 runs short of SRH’s score, handing the visitors their second away win on the trot, at the Eden Gardens on Friday.

Brief scores:

Sunrisers Hyderabad 228/4 in 20 overs (Harry Brook 100*, Aiden Markram 50; Andre Russell 3-22) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 205/7 in 20 overs (Nitish Rana 75, Rinku Singh 58*; Mayank Markande 2-27) by 23 runs
