Punjab 96-0 (8.2 ovs) vs KKR 191-7 | Scorecard


The third spinner in the attack for KKR as Kuldeep Yadav is introduced, to bowl the seventh over.

He starts with a short ball as Rahul pulls it through midwicket for a four and then takes one.

Gayle warming up nicely as he smashes a full delivery for a six over long-on. The tall West Indian has gone past the 200-run mark in the tournament in just his third innings and also bags the 'Orange Cap'.

Three more singles as Kuldeep goes for 13 in his first over with Punjab's openers dishing out a flurry of boundaries.

Narine comes back, replacing Chawla, as he bowls with a slight drizzle in the air at the Eden Gardens.

He manages to keep things tight, conceding just three singles from his second over.

Chawla also back from the other end as KKR shuffle their spinners around.

A single to Rahul off the first ball before Gayle takes on Chawla and seems to have miscued it, but the ball goes high and the breeze carries it over the ropes for a six.

The rain has gone a bit heavier forcing the players off the field.

Punjab are pretty well placed on 96 for no loss in 8.2 overs with Rahul on 46 from 23 balls and Gayle on 49 from 27 balls.
