Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are in command after picking up three wickets Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016 against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at Mohali. KXIP lost the wicket of Manan Vohra for just eight when the team was at the score of 21 in the fourth over. They then lost the wicket of Murali Vijay  for 26 after he completely failed to pick a googly from Piyush Chawla. Shaun Marsh walked in at No. 3 and then Wriddhiman Saha was their No.4 batsman. But Saha could not last long at the crease for KXIP.  It was Morne Morkel, who got KKR their first breakthrough. Sunil Narine and Piyush Chawla are the other wicket tekers for KXIP.

KKR will be delighted with the fact that they have picked up a couple of wickets, but KXIP with the likes of David Miller and Glenn Maxwell still to bat can still get a big score on the board. A score of  about 150-160 should be  a par score on this pitch, but considering the form KKR have been in this tournament will be confident that they can chase this total down.
