Today in the 44th match of IPL 2013, Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to bat first. Captain Gautam Gambhir got run out on the second ball of the innings when the team score was just 4. Man in form for Kolkata Manvinder Bisla was the next to go as he was bowled by Yadav in the third over. With 16/2 in 2.2 overs, KKR needed a partnership and Yusuf Pathan, Eoin Morgan and Jacques Kallis got some starts but failed to convert them into a big score. With 50/5 in 8.3 overs, KKR looked in dire circumstances but some good batting display by the lower middle order helped them post 136/7 in 20 overs.

Chasing 137 to win, Virender Sehwag and captain Mahela Jayawardene added 23 runs in 3.4 overs before Sehwag got out after scoring 17 off 15 balls. Soon captain Mahela Jayawardene also got out giving some hope to KKR. But Unmukt Chand and David Warner then controlled the situation with a 95 run stand. Unmukt Chand scored 37 in 39 balls before getting out. But the damage was done as David Warner hit 66 in 42 balls which included 6 fours and 3 sixes to take his team to a superb 7 wicket win.
