Left-arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad delivered a match-defining spell, capturing 4/31 as the Chennai Super Kings successfully restricted the Kolkata Knight Riders to 179/6 in a crucial IPL tie on Wednesday.
KKR, who started confidently at 67/1 during the power-play, witnessed a dramatic collapse due to Ahmad's pivotal bowling.
With strategic spin support from Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, the Super Kings effectively applied pressure, reducing KKR to a streaky 112 runs in the last 14 overs.
