How Mitchell Starc’s fiery spell sent Kolkata Knight Riders into IPL 2024 final

Australian sliced through Sunrisers Hyderabad’s vaunted batting with a three-wicket haul

Mitchell Starc came with a $2.98 million price tag. The Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler showed that he’s worth every cent with a three-wicket burst that broke the back of Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR sealed the fate of the first qualifier right there. Hyderabad never really recovered, and Kolkata breezed to their fourth IPL final , on Tuesday.

I expected a high-scoring game in Ahmedabad. That was borne out of the fact that these are two superb batting sides, and two of the three IPL matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium had seen a run deluge. In such encounters, the better bowling team wins.

The last part was correct. Kolkata, the better bowling team, romped to victory. Starc struck with the second ball, beating the defences of his fellow Australian Phil Head to seize the initiative, which Kolkata never surrendered through the rest of the game.

The key wicket

Head’s wicket was crucial. He had been providing supersonic starts for Hyderabad, who have been amassing huge totals. The loss of the other opener, Abhishek Sharma, to Vaibhav Arora exacerbated matters before Starc struck twice more to send Hyderbad reeling. They never recovered, although Rahul Tripathi and Heinrich Klassen threatened briefly before mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy snuffed out their aspirations.

Starc’s deadly initial spell (3-0-22-3) wasn’t expected. He had struggled throughout the season to strike a rhythm, and has been very expensive. The pickings were slim too. It was hard to believe that the same bowler killed off India’s hopes in the 50-over World Cup final last year.

The Narendra Modi Stadium seems to be Starc’s favourite hunting ground. In the 2023 World Cup final, he grabbed three wickets to push India on the backfoot. For a bowler who regularly clocks over 140km/h, Starc showcased his white-ball cricket skills with slower deliveries, including slow bouncers, and yorkers to confound the Indian batsmen. Again, he wasn’t potent throughout the World Cup and was dropped for some matches, but he returned to his best to deny India in the final.

Six months later, he has led Kolkata’s IPL title charge in Ahmedabad with his trademark left-arm pace bowling. If the second ball swung and seamed to knock back Head’s stump, prolific scorer Nitish Kumar Reddy couldn’t get under a delivery that was too fast and too steep, and he ended up top-edging it. Shahbaz Ahmed hardly knew anything about the next delivery that rattled the stumps, and Starc was soon wheeling away in celebration.

Three blows, three decisive blows, knocked the wind out of Hyderabad’s sails, and they finished with 159 (KKR overhauled it with eight wickets and 38 balls to spare). The parallel with India’s World Cup match is inescapable. Hyderabad couldn’t get going after that. Even the Tripathi-Klassen partnership looked to delay the inevitable. The Starc specials had done Hyderabad in. Little wonder, he was named the Player of the Match.

How does he do it? Starc’s big-match temperament is incredible. The big occasions seem to spur him into producing his best spells. With every wicket, Starc’s smile grows broader. He relishes the moment and thrives in it.

Starc still has work to do. He has to reprise his role in the final at Chepauk on Sunday. A clutch of wickets from the Australian will set up Kolkata for their third championship. If that happens, Starc would have earned his $2.98 million payday. KKR might even give him a bonus.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, 2nd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Zimbabwe's slow starts have inevitably cost them two matches now in the series. Raza said they'll have to learn and they'll have to learn quickly. Can they come back better in the next game? That's a day match with the game starting at 3 pm. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

Najmul Shanto - The bowling was excellent, we can't control rain, it's not easy for the batters (to play for DLS). There are a lot of areas where we can still improve, they batted really well in the middle-overs, that's something we can work on but I'm not worried about our bowling. Tamim and Litton have given us good starts, their partnerships set us up nicely for the chase. The next match is a day match and we'll have to plan for it.

Towhid Hridoy | Player of the Match - I was just thinking as to how I could win the match all the time. I want to play according to the demands of the situation. I'm really happy that I stayed till the end and finished the match

Sikandar Raza - You couldn't said it any better (on the top-order batting), getting no boundaries in the batting PP meant we were playing catch-up cricket. Credit to the middle-order for their efforts in taking us to 138. A lot to learn and hopefully we'll learn quickly. We are grooming some youngsters with an eye on the future and those two did really well (on Campbell and Bennett). Hopefully, we'll do some soul searching and get better for the rest of the games. I don't think we could have bowled any better, the wicket got better with the two rain breaks, the ball became wet and we couldn't have done any better. We could have fielded a tad better though and they're those small things that matter a lot in the end.

21:58 Local Time, 15:58 GMT, 21:28 IST: Another match that was won in the first half. Bangladesh's bowlers kept things very quiet and had Zimbabwe in a hole at 38 for 4 at the halfway stage of their innings. It was difficult to come back from that position - Brain Bennett and Jonathan Campbell made enterprising 40s and gave their team a chance. Chasing 139, Bangladesh lost some early wickets, but with the run-rate still under control, they were always ahead of the chase. Zimbabwe did sniff a chance when rain came with them 3 runs ahead on DLS, but that spell of rain quickly abated and with it ended Zimbabwe's hopes. Towhid Hridoy remained unbeaten for the second match running and Mahmudullah batted in a carefree manner to ensure an easy win for the hosts. Luke Jongwe's two wickets in an over had given the visitors a chance, but his 17th over all but sealed the match in favour of the hosts. Back shortly for the presentations.

Muzarabani to Mahmudullah, FOUR , Bangladesh win, they go 2-0 up , fuller length delivery outside off and Mahmudullah leans into the cover drive, placing it wide of cover

Muzarabani to Mahmudullah, no run, fuller length delivery outside off, Mahmudullah looks to drive and drags it off the inner half to the bowler. They're checking if it was a return catch / a bump ball? It bounced off Mahmudullah's boots, but looks like it did hit the ground first - NOT OUT is the call

Muzarabani to Mahmudullah, no run, yorker length delivery outside off, Mahmudullah had backed away and can't reach out on the drive

Muzarabani to Mahmudullah, wide , banged in short by Muzarabani - Mahmudullah sways away from the line and lets it go, too high and it's called as a wide, scores are level now

Blessing Muzarabani [3.0-0-14-0] is back into the attack

Ngarava to Towhid Hridoy, no run, short and at the right-hander, Hridoy finds mid-wicket with the pull

Ngarava to Towhid Hridoy, SIX , cracking shot , they're two runs away now - slower ball from Ngarava, but it's too full and it's whippedd away over deep backward square leg, almost cleared the ground once again, it's a 99m hit

Ngarava to Towhid Hridoy, no run, full-toss outside off, Hridoy shimmies down the pitch and is beaten on the drive

Ngarava to Towhid Hridoy, 2 runs, another slower ball from Ngarava, width on offer and it's a one-handed swat over backward point for a couple of runs

Ngarava to Mahmudullah, 1 run, slower ball outside off, steered square on the off-side for a single

The ball bounced off the chairs and went past the compound wall, it'll not come back and will have to be replaced

Ngarava to Mahmudullah, SIX , lovely , tad too short from Ngarava - Mahmudullah picks the length early, swivels across and then hammers the pull over square leg, went soaring for a 103m six

Richard Ngarava [3.0-0-17-1] is back into the attack

Jongwe to Mahmudullah, 1 run, low full-toss outside off, dragged down to long-on for a single, 16 off the over

Jongwe to Mahmudullah, no ball , 2 runs, oh dear! A beamer and it's called as a no-ball, shovelled away to deep mid-wicket where the fielder fumbles the catch, it wouldn't have mattered though - this over is taking this game away from Zimbabwe's grasp. A free-hit for Mahmudullah
