Kolkata Knight Riders recorded their second straight IPL win after narrowly defeating The Deccan Chargers by 5 wickets at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
It was Hyderabad Chargers turn to bat first but despite their strong batting line-up, they could only manage 110 from 18.4 overs, as they were bowled out. Murali Kartik was the pick of the bowlers for Kolkata, as he recorded figures of 17-3 from his 3.4 overs. Andrew Symonds top scoring with just 32.
The low total was harder to reach for Kolkata then they would have first envisaged, as tight new-ball bowling from Chaminda Vaas and R.P Singh gave the home side a slow start in reply. However, the total proved to small to defend for the Chargers as David Hussey (38 n.o) managed to get the Knight Riders home with an over to spare, despite floodlight failure on the 16th over.
Final result: Kolkata Knight Riders won by 5 wickets.
