In the 20th match of IPL 2013, Kolkata won the toss and elected to field first. Kings XI Punjab lost captain Gilchrist when the team score was 24 but Mandeep Singh and Manan Vohra took the team score past 50. Vohra’s wicket triggered a fall of wickets but Manpreet Gony came to the team’s rescue as he scored 42 off just 18 balls to help Punjab post a healthy total of 157/9 in 20 overs.

Chasing 158 to win, KKR lost Manvinder Bisla on the very first ball of the innings. Soon allrounder Jacques Kallis also got out leaving KKR struggling at 1/2 in 1.2 overs. But captain Gambhir and Eoin Morgan then played sensibly and took the score to 106 before Gambhir got out. KKR were placed comfortably at 106/3 in 13.1 overs and it looked like they could win the match easily but Kings XI bowlers had other plans. With the fall of Gambhir, the middle order crumbled like a peck of cards and from 106/3, the team could score just 153/9 in 20 overs and thus lostthe match by 4 runs.
