In response, skipper Shakib Al Hasan's miserly spell of 2/5 in two overs, coupled with Ryan Higgins' (2/16) two-wicket haul, dented the Kings' chase early. Despite fighting efforts from Max Chu (25 off 10), Obus Pienaar (20 off 11) and Jaskarandeep Singh (16 off 13), the Kings were restricted to 76/7 in 10 overs.
