Ali, who announced his retirement from Test
Cricket in September, scored a 20-ball 37 as CSK set a target of 192 in Dubai. But despite an impressive start – with Shubman Gill (51) and Venkatesh Iyer (50) both making half-centuries – KKR slumped to a 27-run defeat. Captain Eoin Morgan scored just five runs on a disappointing evening.
