Kolkata 158-4 (20 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard


Praveen bowls a very slow bouncer as Shakib waits before pulling it right over the wicketkeeper for a four to bring up his fifty in some style, from 41 balls.

Some drama as Pathan pulls out at the very last minute just about when Praveen was about to deliver. He lets the ball go through as it strikes the stumps with Praveen appealing but the umpire calls it a dead ball. Pathan pointing out to some movement behind the bowler's arm for him pulling out at the last minute.

Shakib then shuffles across and paddles it fine on the leg side for a four as Praveen goes for 12 runs in his final over. Despite the runs, he finishes with splendid figures of two for 19 in four overs, including a maiden.

Bravo, who has struggled with the ball, will bowl the final over. A single from the first ball before Shakib swings Bravo square on the leg side for a six.

Bravo bowls a slower bouncer as Shakib swings again but misses before he keeps out a yorker for one.

Bravo then bowls a wide down the leg side plus the batsmen steal an extra run before Shakib hits the last ball through the covers for two runs.

What a superb recovery from KKR as they finish on a healthy 158 for four in 20 overs.

Shakib cut loose at the end, hitting 66 from 49 balls, while Pathan smashed 63 from 41 balls, with the duo putting on a record unbeaten stand of 134 runs from 85 balls for the fifth wicket, the best for KKR.
