In one of the more one-sided games of the tournament, Kolkata Knight
Riders breezed to an eight-wicket win and made amends for fluffing a
chase against the same opponents, Kings XI Punjab, three days ago. A
deflated Kings XI limped to 124 on their home surface after winning the
toss but there were no twists as Knight Riders, led by Gautam Gambhir, attained the target with a risk-free approach.
Gambhir remained strong square of the wicket on both sides, cutting when given width and nudging away deliveries on the pads.
Bisla launched Harmeet Singh for a six over mid-off but was bowled
dragging one on to his stumps just before the halfway stage. With a
paltry target to defend, Kings XI could have attacked more, kept a slip
or a couple of men in close catching positions to force a mistake.
Gambhir had the freedom to use his feet against the spinners, getting to
his half-century off 36 balls.
