After asking to Kolkata Knight Riders to bat first, Kings XI Punjab made a brilliant start, reducing KKR to 10/3 in just the second over. However, a brilliant partnership between Shubman Gill and Eoin Morgan steadied the Kolkata innings. And a late cameo from Kiwi pacer Lockie Ferguson saw that the two-time champions have a par score of 149/9 on the board.
Chasing the target, Kings XI Punjab made a steady start as the openers KL Rahul and Mandeep Singh played at run-a-ball in the power play. KXIP skipper was soon dismissed after that but a brilliant partnership between Cries Gayle and Singh – where both scored a half-century – meant that Punjab crossed the line with ease. Fans were impressed with the display and praised the duo for their performance.
