Live CLT20: Guptill, Vincent ensure Aces a great start

October 15, 2012 22:58

Scorecard:

Martin Guptill and Lou Vincent open the batting for Auckland and it will be Lakshmipathy Balaji first up for Kolkata.

KKR have taken a risk by dropping Brett Lee on a wicket like this and Balaji has to more than make up for it.

Vincent smashes the third ball over the mid-off fielder for a four, the first of the Auckland innings. The fifth ball is also hit for a boundary and the last ball over the long-on fence as 17 runs come off the opening over. Something KKR can ill-afford.

Shakib Al Hasan shares the new ball and Guptill welcomes him with a boundary over cover.

The third ball is hit by Vincent over the midwicket boundary for a six.

Auckland 31 without loss after two overs.
