Earlier, Piyush Chawla smashed Ishant Sharma for 20 runs in the last over as Kings XI Punjab piled up 178/6.
In the last over, Ishant bowled to Pathan (24 not out) for one leg bye. Then Chawla was in full flow as he hit the Kolkata Rider bowler for three fours, one six over extra cover and a two. The sequence was 1lb, 4, 4, 2, 4, 6, as Chawla remained not out on 21.
Umar Gul bowed a good spell to dismiss the Sri Lankan pair of Kumar Sangakkara (28) and Mahela Jayawardene (10).
Australian Shaun Marsh again was the pick of the Punjab batsmen again with 40, with five boundaries and a six.
He put on 28 for the opening wicket with James Hopes before the latter was caught by Brad Hodge off Ashok Dinda for 18.
Sangakkara joined Marsh and they carried the total to 82, with a partnership of 54 runs for the second wicket. An injured Sangakkara later batted with a runner.
Captain Yuvraj Singh chipped in with 17. |
