Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Match Stats

Another two! Shorter and on off, it is pushed through covers for a couple.

OUT! TAKEN! There is the wicket Kolkata wanted! There is glimmer of hope they needed. Can they capitalize on it now? Krishna does the job. It is angled into the pads, Agarwal looks to whip it over the mid-wicket fence but fails to get the power behind it. He holes out to the fielder in the deep. Gill makes no mistake. A brilliant innings from Agarwal comes to an end. He has done his job. 50 needed in 34.

Pooran is off the mark! This is on middle and angling away. Pooran guides it down to third man for one.

Another single! Length and outside off, it is pushed through covers for one.

A dot now! On middle, Pooran defends it onto the ground.

Another dot! A wicket and four runs from it. Kolkata needed an over like this. On middle, blocked. 48 needed now in the last 5.

Two! Fuller and outside off, Rahul drives it through covers and takes two.

FOUR! Poor bowling! Short and wide outside off, Rahul stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and cuts it through point. No chance of stopping that.

Easy two again! Fuller and on middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for a couple.

A slower one, fuller and outside off, it is carved through covers for one.

FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff! Length and outside off, Pooran stands tall and crunches it through covers for a boundary. So this is probably the over which turns the tide completely in Punjab's favor. 35 needed in 25.

SIX! Smashed! Just the 29 needed now! Short and on middle, it sits up to be hit. Pooran pulls it hard and over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Outside off, it is pushed through covers for one.

Tossed up on middle, it is pushed to covers.

FOUR! In the gap! Probably now where Pooran wanted to hit it but he finds the gap. Fuller and outside off. Pooran swings but miscues it. It goes over cover and trickles over the fence. He wanted it to hit it a lot straighter than he did.

On middle, it is pushed to the right of the bowler.

On off, it turns away a touch. Pooran looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge towards short third man for one.

On off, it is guided towards point for one. 22 needed in 18.

Shorter and around off, it is pushed through covers for one.

OUT! TIMBER! Pooran is out of here but is it too late! They should have probably given Narine the over they gave to Nagarkoti. It is on middle, Pooran swings but misses. You miss I hit stuff from him. 21 needed in 16. A wicket more and the game might just get interesting.

On middle, it is worked to mid-wicket. One more dot. Need a couple more.

Pressure building! One more dot! On middle, the batter goes back and keeps it out.

Three dots in a row! Shorter and outside off, it is slapped hard but to covers.

A single which Kolkata surely won't mind. 20 needed in 2 now. What a brilliant over from Narine. Just the two runs and a wicket from it. On the pads, it is worked down to fine leg for one.

A couple to begin! Fuller and on middle, this is hit down towards the long on fielder. It is to his left and two is taken.

A yorker outside off, Prabhsmiran looks to jam it out. It goes off the toe-end down to third man for one.

Just one again! Shorter and around off, it is guided down to third man for one. 16 needed in 9.

OUT! TAKEN! Kolkata back in this one! Prabhsimran walks back after an innings which could well cost his team the game. It is shorter and around off. He looks to pull but is done in by the pace. It goes off the splice towards point where Rana runs back and takes a good catch. 16 in 8. Boundary needed.

A couple! 14 needed in 7 now. A low full toss outside off. It is carved through covers for a couple. A very important ball coming up!

OUT! TIMBER! That is a huge, huge wicket. Game now in Kolkata's favor. Rahul can't believe what he has done. Krishna is over the moon. It is a full toss outside off. Rahul looks to heave it on the leg side but gets an inside edge which hits the stumps. What a turnaround. Wow! Just Wow! 14 needed in the last over with two new batters out there.

A couple to start! Shorter and on middle, Maxwell swings. It goes off the inner half through mid on for two. 12 needed in 5.

Make that 12 needed in 4! Lovely bowling! It is very slow and into the pads. Maxwell is early in the swing. He misses to get hit on the pads.

FOUR! Important boundary! 8 from 3 balls now! Innovation and it pays off. Maxwell brings out the reverse sweep. Nails it over the cover region and it goes for a boundary.

NOT OUT! It is going down leg! More importantly for Kolkata, it is just a single and Maxwell is off strike. It is slower again and angling into the pads. Maxwell swings but once again misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but turned down. The ball rolls towards short third man. A leg bye is taken. Karthik reviews but replays show that the on-field call is the right one.

OUT! TAKEN! The bigger side of the ground and Mandeep does not strike it cleanly and hence holes out. 7 needed from the last game. Kolkata can't lose unless an extra is bowled. It is slower through the air again and on middle. Narine gives no pace on the delivery. Singh goes for the slog sweep but only manages to hit it high up in the air. Green, the sub, settles under it and takes it brilliantly.

FOUR! Just short! Just short. Oh boy! Maxwell wants it to be checked but it is just short. Narine would have had his heart in his mouth for a second. What drama, what an anticlimax! It is a game of millimeters says Ian Bishop and that is oh so right. Coming to the ball now, what did Narine just bowl there. He fires it outside off. He invites Maxwell to hit towards the short side and Glenn does exactly that. He lofts it over covers. It bounces just inside the ropes and then goes over. A boundary signaled. They though go to check it upstairs as it is too close to call but replays show it lands just short. Heartbreak for Punjab. THEY LOSE BY 2 RUNS!
