Finally another win for KKR. But another poor performance by the Pune warriors.
Manvinder Bisla (wk), Gautam Gambhir (c) and Ryan doeschate played extremely well to put up a score of 152 runs with loss of six wickets. Although the score which PW has to chase was not big, but their batting side got bundled up easily and they just scored 106 with loss of all wickets.
None of the players from the PW side played well expect Angelo Mathews who scored 40 runs and played only 28 balls.
Gautam Gambhir was declared man of the match.
Pune: 106-all out (19.3 Overs)
Kolkata: 152/6 (20.0 Overs)
Kolkata won by 46 runs
Saying of some players:
Gambhir: 'It was a professional effort from everyone. We played smart cricket. A lot of credit needs to go to Tendo for batting well in the end. One has to attack in the first 6 overs when the ball is new, we wanted to do that.
Finch: 'We were really disappointing on that wicket, we didn't bat intelligently and that let us down. We thought we had to really cash-in in the first 6 overs.
