End of 10 overs, and Kolkata Knight Riders are cruising courtesy Gambhir and Uthappa. KKR 74-0, with Gambhir 41 (34) and Uthappa 33 (26)
|
| 13.3 : WICKET! Exceptional piece of fielding there from Glenn Maxwell. Uthappa hits the ball straight to him, but Gambhir on the other end, anticipating a run, is already off his crease and Maxwell makes a brilliant throw to run him out. Yusuf pathan comes out next!
|
| 2.4 :
|
|
WICKET! Unnecessary running from KXIP batsman. 155-8 now. They require 10 off 3 balls!
|
| 5.6 : Solid start for the Knight Riders as they are 40 for no loss after the end of powerplay.
|
|
|
|
FOUR! And that brings up Gautam Gambhir's half century. Brilliant innings from the Kolkata skipper and it also brings up the century partnership. End of 13 overs, KKR 100-0.
|
|
DROPPED! Horrible communication between Mohit Sharma and David Miller. Uthappa had just reached his fifty with a magnificent four, and mistimed the very next ball which flew up straight towards long on. David Miller looked set to catch it, but Mohit Sharma pops in front and horribly drops it down.
|
|
OUT! Another mix-up and another run out. Yusuf Pathan fails to connect to Mohit Sharma's slower one. The ball hits Pathan's chest and falls just in front of him. But Uthappa who is way off his crease can't get back before Sharma picks up the ball and runs him out. Andre Russel walks out now.
|
|
WICKET! And it's another run-out. Last ball of the innings is missed by Russell and he is late to sprint for the final run. Keeper Saha collects and throws the ball to bowler Sandeep Sharma who calmly runs towrds the wickets and runs Russell out. End of KKR innings. And a good bowling effort from KXIP in the death overs. With KKR cruising at 100-0 in 13 overs, the bowlers did well to restrict them to 164 runs.
|
|
That's it. What a thrilling match this was. Just when Kings XI Punjab looked to snatch away a victory, out came Russell to deny them any points. This win propels KKR to the top of the table while KXIP are still rock bottom. Russell surely will be in contention for the MOTM after figures of 4-20 and running out 2 others.
