Dinesh Karthik is named the Man of the Match for his brilliant performance with the bat.
The Kolkata bowling looked flat today untill the 18th over. Everybody was being milked and scored easily off. However, Krishna was the one who bowled really well. Narine too was impressive. Varun was also good. Nagarkoti and Cummins though weren't upto the mark but Kolkata managed to win the important moments of the game and in the end came out on top.
Earlier in the innings chasing 165, Punjab openers got them off to a brilliant start! After Rahul was dropped early on, he made Kolkata pay. He along with Agarwal added a 100-plus stand. Agarwal was the aggressor and Rahul played along nicely. Their partnership took their side to the brink of victory before Agarwal departed. Pooran then came in and played a cameo which got his side closer. However, Narine's over, the 18th one, changed the game. They needed 22 in 3 but Narine bowled a brilliant 2 run over and also took a wicket. That changed the course of the game. Kolkata got a sniff and they pounced on it. They have pulled a rabbit out of the hat to gain another two points.
The Punjab dressing room is in shock! They actually can't believe they have lost this one. No way should have they gone down here. They should have won this game with an over to spare. How costly did the move to send Prabhsimran above Maxwell prove! His three dots to Narine just gave Kolkata a glimmer of hope which they capitalized on. Also, how good was Krishna in the penultimate over? Two wickets and just the 6 runs. Wow! One of those wickets were of Rahul who was bossing the game till then. 14 then from the last over of Narine on this wicket, was always going to be very tough and they fell short by just the two runs. This is a morale-deflating loss. Especially for a side which is not winning anything.
Kolkata review! It is more in hope one feels. An LBW appeal has been turned down.
Glenn Maxwell is the new batsman in.
Prabhsimran Singh is the new man in.
Sunil Narine is back on.
DRINKS! Punjab are running away with the game. Rahul and Pooran would look to finish this off as quickly as possible. On the other hand, Kolkata need wickets to put pressure on Punjab. Also Varun Chakravarthy is back on.
Kamlesh Nagarkoti is back on.
Nicholas Pooran is the new man in.
It is the weekend and the Indian T20 league is ready with the double dose! Yes, it is the double-header day! The action will begin in Abu Dhabi as Punjab take on Kolkata.Kolkata are looking to be on a roll after struggling a bit. They managed to choke Chennai in their previous game and manufactured a fantastic win in a game that once looked to be slipping away. However, their batters struggled towards the end and failed to provide a flourish after a fine knock from their new opener, Rahul Tripathi. They would want their batsmen to put up a collective show and put runs on the board. The bowlers are doing the job well for them though. Both pacers and the spinners were superb against Chennai in the last game and will be eager to continue doing the same. Punjab, on the other hand, are on the floor. 4 defeats in a row! Is their batting doing a fine job? Well, can't really say that to be honest. Surely not after their sorry show against Hyderabad in their previous encounter where they were rolled down for a paltry 132 and that could've been a lot less, if not for the fastest half ton of the season by Pooran. It is their bowling which has been under the pump. They made a good comeback in the last game though, as young Bishnoi and Arshdeep pulled things back superbly towards the end overs. However, others struggled. Mujeeb, playing his first game in this season, too was taken for plenty. They would want the other bowlers to step up and put on a good performance together.
