Kolkata: 124-8

Ravindra Jadeja is the new man in. A boundary by Raina, off Holder, helps Gujarat get past the 100-run mark, in the 11th over.

Raina gets another boundary as 10 runs come off Holder's second over.

Narine ends with not so impressive figures (4-0-30-1). An inside out boundary off Yusuf helps Raina complete a well-deserved half century.

And a single by Raina (53 not out) off Morkel helps Gujarat seal an impressive win with more than six overs left.

Gujarat move up to second.

Scorecard:

Gujarat: 97-4

Kolkata: 124-8

Jason Holder is handed the ball in the ninth over, replacing an expensive Rajpoot (3-0-35-1). He gives away four runs first up.

Narine to bowl the 10th over. Finch smashes the third ball for a six over extra cover, the shot helping raise the 50-run partnership for the fourth wicket.

However, a collision with Raina, while completing a third run, cuts short Finch's (26) innings.

Finch's 23-ball innings was inclusive of a boundary and two sixes, and he helped his captain add 59 runs (off 36 balls) for the fourth wicket.

At the halfway mark, Gujarat have reached 97 for four.

Scorecard:

Gujarat: 83-3

Kolkata: 124-8

Raina hits a glorious six over cover in the first ball of Morkel's second over, the hit helping Gujarat get past the 50-run mark.

The six also helps Raina pass the 4000-run mark in the IPL, joining RCB captain Virat Kohli.

Gujarat reach 55 for three in the Powerplay period.

Rajpoot's third over costs KKR 16 runs while Finch helps himself to a six over long-on in Morkel's third.

Scorecard:

Gujarat: 45-3

Kolkata: 124-8

KKR make their first bowling change in the fourth over, Morne Morkel replacing Narine (1-0-8-1). Karthik helps himself to successive boundaries in the over.

However, the bowler has the last laugh, getting through the defense of Karthik with his fourth ball.

Aaron Finch joins his captain at the crease. And it's a change of ends for Narine, replacing Rajpoot (2-0-19-1) in the fifth over.

Finch cuts the second ball behind point for his first boundary.

Scorecard:

Gujarat: 20-2

Kolkata: 124-8

Sunil Narine to bowl the second over. He strikes with his second ball, having McCullum (6) out leg before.

Dinesh Karthik joins his captain with their side in a spot of bother.

Scorecard:

Gujarat: 12-1

Kolkata: 124-8

Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith to open the batting for Gujarat and it will be Ankit Rajpoot to start the proceedings for Kolkata.

He strikes first ball, having Smith (0) caught behind. Golden duck for the guy who starred with the ball.

Suresh Raina, the skipper, is the new man in. He too gets a leading edge, but is fortunate.

McCullum eases the pressure with a huge six off the fifth ball.

Scorecard:

Kolkata: 124-8

Jason Holder is the new man in. He starts off with a boundary, followed by huge six over midwicket.

Dhawal (4-0-34-1) to bowl the penultimate over. He strikes with his second ball, having Yusuf (36) caught by Raina at extra cover.

Sunil Narine is the new man in. Bravo to bowl the final over. He strikes with his third ball, having Holder (13) caught by Finch.

Gujarat restrict KKR to a paltry 124 for eight.

It is definitely not enough.

Scorecard:

Kolkata: 108-6

Another bowling change for Gujarat. Ravindra Jadeja replaces Jakati (2-0-7-0) in the 13th over. He gives away three runs first up.

Change of ends for Jakati, replaces Smith in the 14th over. He gives away just five runs.

Yusuf eventually cuts loose in Jadeja's second over, with a boundary, followed by a six.

A six over extra cover by Yadav off Jakati helps KKR get past the 100-run mark, in the 17th over. However, Jakati (4-0-22-1) has the last laugh, having Yadav (17) caught by Dhawal at fine leg.

Scorecard:

Kolkata: 61-5

Smith has a change of ends, replacing Bravo (1-0-2-0) in the 10th over. He strikes with his second ball, getting through the defense of Chawla (11).

KKR's gamble of promoting the leggie has boomeranged. On the other hand, Gujarat's move of handing the ball to Smith has worked, the part-timer taking three wickets so far.

Shakib Al Hasan is the new man in. KKR reach 55 for four at the halfway mark.

Smith gets a fourth wicket in his final over, having Shakib (3) caught by Eklavya Dwivedi at third man.
