Knight Riders: 129/7 (16.0 Ovs) | Royal Challengers: 124/4 (16.0 Ovs) | Kolkata Knight Riders won by 5 runs. After Ganguly opted to bat after rains reduced the rematch of the curtain raiser to 16 overs-a-side on Thursday, the hosts just managed 129-7 against Bangalore, who would be licking their chops at the target they have in front of them. Kolkata Knightriders survive the Royal Challenge from Bangalore and beat them by 5 runs as Mark Boucher* Not Out on 50(40).
Saurav Ganguly is the Man of the Match for his all round performance. He had scored 20 runs but more importantly bowled a stunning spell of 1 for 7 in his 3 overs.If you can witness matches like these then why two why not three in a day!!! Kolkata win a match after four consecutive losses and they will heave a huge sigh of relief. It was a great effort from the Knightriders, they fielded and bowled really well after being disappointing with the bat. Ganguly bowled a stunning spell and that really put Bangalore under huge pressure
