Kolkata 68-0 (6 ovs) vs Pune

Ashok Dinda starts his second over with a wide as Kolkata bring up their 50. Gambhir lashes at a wide delivery and gets it past point for two more runs and then takes a single from the following delivery.

Dinda is unlucky as McCullum looks to defends but gets an outside edge which flies past the wicketkeeper into the boundary at thirdman.

Gambhir then takes a few steps down the wicket and lofts Dindia high into the stands at midwicket for a SIX. The next ball is again down the leg side and Gambhir helps it fine on the leg side for a four.

19 runs from that over as Kolkata race to 68 for no loss in six overs with Gambhir on 35 from 18 balls, and McCullum on 20 from 18 balls.
