Scorecard – Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders – 11th Match

Without Shahrukh Khan’s presence in the ground it looked like no Knight Rider batsmen wish to play. They won the toss and decided to bat first but the decision was not fruitful as they started to lose wickets from the very beginning. Mc Cullam striked some good shots but once he was out all the batsmen just fell to the brilliant bowling of Chennai Super Kings. Laxmi Ratan Shukla was the only one who played some good shots and scored 42 runs which were the highest in Kolkata Knight Riders innings.

Knight Riders scored a total of 147 runs in 20 overs and it looked a very easy target as the pitch is very flat and it looks a target of 180 was also achievable here.
