KKR skipper played an unbeaten 66-run knock off just 44 balls to lead his team to the third victory in this season. Jacques Kallis also played his role contributing by 30 off 23 to ease up the target of 125 set by Punjab (KXIP).
KXIP won the toss and elected to bat first; but Adam Gilchrist (40 off 30) and Shaun Marsh (33 off 30) were the two main contributors to the total of 124/7. No other batsmen succeeded to get into double figure except David Hussey (10 off 14). KKR bowlers kept a very tight line to curtail the host’s batsmen silent throughout their batting. Brett Lee and Sunil Narine picked up 2 wickets each for KKR.
