New Delhi, May 26 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong> Two time champions Kolkata Knight Riders' campaign in Indian Premier League 9 ended after going down to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 22 runs in the eliminator here on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Famed Hyderabad's bowling line-up led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar with three wickets, proved too good for the KKR batsmen, who failed to put up a fight to finish at 140\/8 in their 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Chasing 163, KKR were off an identical start as Hyderabad losing in-form opener Robin Uthappa (11) cheaply before skipper Gautam Gambhir (28) and all-rounder Colin Munroe (16) took the team to 46\/1 in the powerplay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gambhir and Munroe batted sensibly to put on 38 runs for the second wicket before the New Zealander perished to a silly run out off a sensational throw from Yuvraj Singh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Playing at his home ground, Gambhir failed to read the bounce of the Kotla track as he miscued a short delivery from Ben Cutting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With KKR needing 99 from the last 10 overs, the team landed in further trouble as incoming batsman Yusuf Pathan (2) fell to a beautiful running catch from Bhuvneshwar Kumar off Moises Henriques.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Next in Manish Pandey (36) and Suryakumar Yadav (23) batted sensibly to take the team past the 100-run mark by the 14th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Yadav, who survived a scare on 15, when pacer Mustafizur Rahman dropped him at the third man boundary, could add only eight runs before a brilliant running catch from Shikhar Dhawan off Henriques ended the 46-run fifth wicket stand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Requiring 39 from the last three, Pandey, in his attempt to cope with the growing run-rate fell to a miscued shot off Bhuvneshwar after adding only 10 runs with Rajagopal Sathish (8).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With hopes of reaching the second qualifier fading, West Indian Jason Holder (6) joined Sathish but the duo could do little as Bhuvneshwar packed them off in the last over. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tailenders Sunil Narine and Morne Morkel failed to trouble the scores as the side fell short by 22 runs to bow out of the cash-rich tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For Hyderabad, Bhuvneshwar was the wrecker-in-chief with three wickets while Henriques took two. Cutting and Barinder Sran chipped in with a wicket each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Earlier, KKR restricted Sunrisers to 162\/8 after sending them to bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kuldeep Yadav put up yet another impressive show with three wickets to break the backbone of the Sunrisers batting, who were off to a disappointing start.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Yuvraj (44) and Henriques (31) top-scored for Hyderabad after the side lost the key wicket of in-form opener Dhawan (10) cheaply.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

After losing Dhawan, skipper David Warner (28), who was dropped by Pathan in the fifth over, resurrected the innings with incoming batsman Henriques to take the team to 43\/1 in the powerplay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Both the Australians pounced on the easy offerings from the KKR bowlers to raise a 59-run stand for the second wicket before Henriques was brilliantly caught and bowled by Yadav. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

With Hyderabad struggling at 71\/3 after 10 overs, incoming batsmen Yuvraj and Deepak Hooda (21) took the attack to the opposition with some glorious shots to take the team past the 100-run mark at the start of the 15th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The left-right combination went on milking runs at will before the Haryana batter threw away his wicket to a silly run-out ending the 49-run fourth wicket stand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Coming in next, Aussie all-rounder Cutting failed to trouble the scorers as Yadav packed him with the first ball of his second spell to be beautifully stumped by Uthappa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wicketkeeper-batsman Naman Ojha (7) then joined Yuvraj in the middle and the duo added a quickfire 21 runs for the sixth wicket before the Punjab southpaw was clean bowled by Jason Holder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

All-rounder Bipul Sharma (14) hit a couple of lusty sixes off Morne Morkel in the final over to take Hyderabad to 162\/8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For KKR, Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets while Holder and Morkel chipped in with two wickets each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Sunrisers will now take on Gujarat Lions in the second qualifier on Friday for a place in Sunday's final against Royal Challengers Bangalore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brief Scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad 162\/8 (Yuvraj Singh 44, Moises Henriques 31, David Warner 28, Kuldeep Yadav 3\/35) vs Kolkata Knight Riders 140\/8 (Manish Pandey 36, Gautam Gambhir 28, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3\/19, Moises Henriques 2\/19)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
