Hobart opened their account, while Kolkata made it two wins in two matches. Cheers for your company and comments. Do join us back tomorrow ehen Chennai clash with the Dolphins. Until then, take care and adios!
Narine: 'I tried to pick up wickets and keep it tight. Today was a good effort. I was mainly looking to keep down the run-rate as batsmen go for runs in the powerplay. I am just practicing and doing the basic right. I am just trying to build on the momentum. He (Kuldeep) is a very good bowler. He is someone to look out for. We need to get a good start, we just have to build on it and keep the momentum going.'
Narine is the Man of the Match for his incredible spell of 3-9.
Gambhir: 'It is very important for the openers to set up the platform. I am very happy for Robin too. This is the kind of wicket where you never know what is a good total. We just hit the ball well, I have struck a good partnership with Robin. I don't want to be too critical of the team. We will have to improve. I think we have won 11 in a row, which in itself is a good achievement. We have a great bunch of guys, who are motivated. I can assure you one thing, there are a lot of young individuals waiting to prove themselves.'
Hafeez: 'We got the target we wanted - 150 - The fielding was not up to the mark. We will have to work on it in the next games. Still it was a good show by the team. Shehzad was magnificent the way he started the innings. Sunil Narine bowled well. It is a good chance for the youngsters to learn playing on the big stage. As a captain, I am happy with the performance. We need to raise our fielding standards The potential is there, talent is there. We just have to take our chances.'
It is also the first time since March 2012 that Lahore have failed to defend a total. The fireworks blaze away in Hyderabad. The middle-order made heavy weather of the target, but Surya finished things off amid some pressure. Uthappa and Gauti set up the game with a brilliant opening stand worth 100. Lahore then roared back into contention, causing Kolkata to lose 6 wickets for 47 runs. Eventually, Surya saw his team home. The spin trio did well and so did the quick bowlers. The mishaps on the field though came back to haunt Lahore.
150 runs for KOL 19.3Asif Raza to Suryakumar Yadav. FOUR, Two in two for Kolkata. They beat Lahore by 4 wickets. Drifting onto the leg-stump, it was also the off-speed ball. Suryakumar Yadav just helps it away behind square leg. 11 wins on the bounce for the Indian T20 League champions
19.2Asif Raza to Suryakumar Yadav. 2 runs, full toss on off, whipped away between midwicket and long on for a couple
Pat Cummins, right handed bat, comes to the crease
19.1Asif Raza to Andre Russell. out Caught by Adnan Rasool!! Gauti cuts a sorry figure in the dug-out. No heroics from Russell tonight. Fuller ball around off, Russell slices it high in the air and picks out Rasool at sweeper cover. A Russell c Adnan Rasool b Asif Raza 1(4)
Asif Raza [1.0-0-4-0] is back into the attack
5 runs from 6 balls reads the equation. Raza to bowl the final over.
End of over 19 ( 4 Runs )KOL 147/5 18.6Wahab Riaz to Andre Russell. 1 run, yorker at the base of off, Russell makes room and carves it away to sweeper cover
18.5Wahab Riaz to Andre Russell. no run, Russell makes room outside leg, Riaz follows him, the former misses the slog. The ball was not very far away from the leg-stump
18.4Wahab Riaz to Andre Russell. no run, Riaz greets Russell with a rip-roaring bouncer, Russell weaves his head out of the way
Andre Russell, right handed bat, comes to the crease
5 wickets down for KOL. Out batsman is Ryan ten Doeschate 18.3Wahab Riaz to Ryan ten Doeschate. out Lbw!! ten Doeschate was a dead duck there. Good length ball, skids off the deck on middle. Tendo is a bit beaten for pace and is pinned on the pads plumb in front of middle. All too late for Lahore? ten Doeschate lbw b Riaz 12(9) [4s-1]
18.2Wahab Riaz to Ryan ten Doeschate. 2 runs, change of pace on middle and leg, ten Doeschate manoeuvres it behind square leg. The misfield helps Kolkata's cause as well
18.1Wahab Riaz to Suryakumar Yadav. 1 run, back of a length and close to off, steered down to third man again
Russell is chatting with Vinay in the dug-out. He is not needed today, I suppose.
