KKR made one change to their playing eleven – Lakshmipathy Balaji made way for Jaydev Unadkat.
KXIP made a couple of changes to their playing eleven – Paul Valthaty and
Parvinder Awana made way for Paras Dogra and Bhargav Bhatt.
On winning the toss, Gautam Gambhir, KKR’s skipper, chose to field.
The first Powerplay of KXIP’s innings – which was the mandatory
Powerplay – was between the first and the sixth over. They scored 26, and lost
a couple of wickets.
Adam Gilchrist, KXIP’s skipper, who faced N(ar)ine balls, scored five.
Seventeen balls into the match, he was caught by Manoj Tiwary. Sunil, the player
of the match, broke the 16-run stand.
Shaun Marsh, who faced half-a-dozen balls, scored a run. Nine balls
later, Narine broke the five-run stand.
KXIP scored 50 off 9.1 overs (55 balls). KKR had conceded four extras at
that point.
The third-wicket pair put on 50 off 42 balls. While Mandeep Singh’s
contribution to the partnership was 27, David Hussey’s contribution to it was 24.
Extras didn’t contribute to the partnership.
Mandeep, whose 34-ball innings included three boundaries and a six,
eventually scored 38. Forty-six balls after Marsh’s dismissal, he was caught by
Ryan ten Doeschate. Shakib Al Hasan broke the 52-run partnership.

included a boundary and a six, scored 32. Thirteen balls later, Gambhir and

Dogra, who faced 11 balls, scored half-a-dozen. Fourteen balls later, he
was caught by Debabrata Das. Bhatia broke the 14-run stand.
KXIP scored 100 off as many balls (16.4 overs). The number of extras
they had conceded at that point gave KKR no reason to be in seventh heaven.
That was, incidentally, the number of extras they eventually conceded.

of balls after Dogra’s dismissal, he was caught by Manvinder Bisla. Bhatia
broke the one-run stand.

ball, didn’t open his account. A ball after Sharma’s dismissal, he was
dismissed by Narine.
Harmeet Singh, whose six-ball innings included three boundaries, scored
14. Ten balls (Bis)later, he was caught behind. Narine broke the 24-run stand.
