Kieron Pollard also chipped in with useful 20 and thus Mumbai were able to post a total of 174/3 in 20 overs on board.

Chasing 175 to win, KXIP opened with Mandeep Singh and Shaun Marsh but the duo could not give them the start they needed as Mandeep Singh got out in the 2nd over leaving KIP at 12/1 in 2 overs. Manan Vohra also fell cheaply and KXIP were reduced to 16/2 in 2.5 overs. They needed a solid partnership and Shaun Marsh and David Hussey looked promising but P Ojha accounted for both of them and left KXIP struggling at 76/4 in 8.4 overs. David Miller was the only hope for KXIP as wickets kept falling from other end. Harbhajan Singh took three wickets to reduce KXIP to 111/7 in 14 overs. Needing 64 to win from last 6 overs, David Miller completed his half century but got out after scoring 56 in 34 balls which included 1 four and 5 sixes. With his fall, KXIP’s chances looked dim but Praveen Kumar’s 15 ball 24 raised some hopes but on last ball they needed a six to win but could not score it. Finally they went down struggling and lost the match by 4 runs.

Date – Fri Apr 26
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – Eden Gardens, Kolkata
Toss – Kings XI Punjab elected to bat
Result – Kolkata Knight Riders won by 6 wickets.

Today in the 35th match of IPL 2013, Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to bat first. Adam Gilchrist and Mandeep Singh added 45 runs for the first wicket stand before Mandeep Singh got out after scoring 25 in 20 balls. Adam Gichrist was the next to go as he scored a run a ball 27. KXIP were well placed at 67/2 in 9.3 overs. Some good bowling by KKR bowlers stopped the flow of easy runs and KXIP batsmen could feel the pressure. All the middle order batsmen got starts but none could convert it into a big score. A cameo of 28 in 15 balls which included 2 fours and 2 sixes by Gurkeerat Singh finally helped KXIP post a total of 149/6 in 20 overs.

Chasing 150 to win, Manvinder Bisla and Gautam Gambhir opened the innings for KKR but the twin blow in the second over by Mahmood broght them on back foot. Gautam Gambhir and Yusuf Pathan got out on consecutive balls to leave KKR struggling at 10/2 in 1.3 overs. Manvinder Bisla and Jacques Kallis then steadied the KKR innings as the duo added 66 runs in 9.1 overs to take KKR total of 76 before Kallis got out after scoring 37 in 33 balls. Manvinder Bisla stood firm on other end and along with Eoin Morgan played sensibly. Eoin Morgan was typically severe as he scored 42 in 26 balls which included 3 fours and 4 sixes and took the team towards victory. Bisla also completed his half century and remained unbeaten on 51 off 44 balls and took his team to a 6 wicket win over Kings XI Punjab.

Match 35 IPL 2013 – Kolkata Knight Riders vs Kings XI Punjab
Date – Fri Apr 26
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – Eden Gardens, Kolkata

Today in the 35th match of Pepsi IPL Season 6, Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Kings XI Punjab at the Eden Gardens. KKR who have won just 2 matches out of 7 played so far are feeling the heat as they are the defending champions and need to pull up the socks if they wish to play in the second round of the league.

On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab have won 4 out of 7 matches and will be looking for a good win today to move up the points table. The main worry for KXIP is the form of captain Gilchrist but the good news is the form of Mandeep Singh and Miller. Once Gilly returns to his form, it will be next to impossible for opponents to stop KXIP.

KKR are relying on heavily on captain Gautam Gambhir and if he fails, KKR is in all sorts of troubles as middle order is not responding well. The injury scare to Kallis and Manoj Tiwary has added to the KKR woes.
