That concludes are coverage of today's matches. Do join us tomorrow for another double header, the first between Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the subsequent one between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils. Thank you and Good Night!
...
Pathan: "I have been hitting the ball well. When you win a match,like the one against RCB, it gives you a lot of confidence. Hence, I am happy, not thinking much and making the opposition think."
...
Yusuf Pathan is the MAN OF THE MATCH
...
Gambhir: "We were looking to bat first but I have lost a lot of tosses. But things are going well and the bowlers are bowling professionally. Quality spinners do not need surfaces. We still have matches to go so I dont want to jinx it by talking about Pathan's form"
...
Dhoni: "I think, looking at the wicket, 135-140 would have been a good score. We kept losing wickets in the middle, and the pressure was on the middle order. Getting a partnership on a slow wicket is important. We can't control the weather, so it is fair. Two more games to go"
...
4.6 Zampa to Yusuf, 1 BYE, GAME SET MATCH. Thank you very much. KKR win by 8 wickets. Pune cannot buy a win. The gum-chewing, towering figure of Yusuf Pathan has dissolved the chase in the matter of one over. There was a lot of spin and bounce first up, but Pathan decided to swing his bat out of it, and displayed brute force to end it in a jiffy. He ends with 37 off just 18.
...

There's hardly anything left in this chase now. Yusuf Pathan has reduced the equation to 9 off 30.

3.6 M Ashwin to Yusuf, no run, fast on a length, cut straight to backward point.
...
...
3.5 M Ashwin to Yusuf, SIX, full ball outside off, Yusuf plants that front foot and smokes the ball over long off! He is swinging his bat at everything, and with remarkable disdain. Sits on one knee and swats it clean over long off for another maximum.
...
3.4 M Ashwin to Yusuf, no run, much better, googly hit on the pads as Yusuf lunges forward.
...
3.4 M Ashwin to Yusuf, WIDE, down leg side again.

Pathan has done enough damage in one over to make the chase a stroll in the park for KKR. The initial pressure has diffused away.
...
2.6 R Ashwin to Yusuf, FOUR, full ball, Yusuf plants that big front foot and smokes the ball over mid-on. What an over, completely snatches the game away from Pune!
...

...

...

...
2.2 R Ashwin to Yusuf, 1 LEG BYE, fast ball, hit on the pads, ball dribbles to point. Pathan is backing away from the stumps to get room and moves the pads away from the stumps.
...
2.1 R Ashwin to Yusuf, SIX, lengtht ball, Yusuf backs away, sits and smacks over long on.! He doesn't let the pressure get onto him, and launches that one out.
...
KKR have lapped up a poor over from Dinda and have got going. They are 22/2 after two, and the target has started looking smaller already.
...
1.6 Dinda to Manish, 2 runs, on off side again, Manish times it past backward point, Perera runs across at third man, sticks out his boot and stops the ball from crossing over.
...
1.5 Dinda to Manish, FOUR, full but way too wide, Manish had to reach for it and an outside taken, ball flies to third man! A very poor over from Dinda. In a rain truncated match, you cannot afford to wander with your line and length.
...
1.4 Dinda to Manish, 2 runs, length ball outside off, short too, Manish cuts it past point to deep third man and Manish sprints across for a brace. Dhoni gets the throw some distance away from the stumps, but still manages to direct the throw to the stumps with his gloves, without looking.
...
1.3 Dinda to Yusuf, 1 run, length ball on off, slight shape again, Yusuf drives it to third man.
...

...
Ashoke Dinda to share the new ball

KKR are 9-2 after the first over. Mind you, the target is 66 in 9.
...
Lot of excitement in the first over after the break. The ball is turning around viciously.
...
