Kolkata Knight Riders are being led by Jacques Kallis and Robin Uthappa in their run-chase in the Champions League T20 (CLT20) 2014 semi-final against Hobart Hurricanes at Hyderabad. In six overs, Kolkata are 39 for one.

Ben Hilfenhaus bowled the fourth over and then Jacques Kallis smashed two boundaries in that over to get going. Kolkata had lost the early wicket of Gautam Gambhir and were trying to get back into the game. They are chasing 141 to win. Xavier Doherty then came on to bowl the sixth over and Uthappa charged at him and lofted him for four over mid-on. Kallis then smashed one over mid-wicket. Click here for the live blog

Earlier, Xavier Doherty won the toss and elected to bat first. Tim Paine was ruled out due to an injury. Thus Doherty captained. Hobart brought in Dom Michael in place of Paine. Kolkata Knight Riders were unchanged. Though Hobart struggled for a major part of their innings, Shoaib Malik kept them in the hunt and his unbeaten 66 took Hobart to 140 for six.
