KXIP vs KKR Highlights IPL 2020: Kolkata Knight Riders Beat Kings XI Punjab By 2 Runs

This was a game of thrills. What a champion bowler Suni Narine is. KXIP needed 21 off the final 3 overs when he came to bowl with Nicholas Pooran and KL Rahul firing. He bowled Pooran and gave away only two runs. Prasidh Krishna then followed it with a two-wicket over, including the big wicket of KL Rahul. Krishna gave away six runs leaving Narine 14 to defend in the final over. He conceded a boundary in his third delivery but removed Mandeep Singh and helped KKR to a 2 run win. 

KKR have won the game by 2 runs. Can you believe it? Kings XI Punjab needed 21 runs from 18 deliveries with nine wickets in hand and they have lost it by 2 runs. KXIP needed seven runs from 1 ball and six to take it to the super over with Glenn maxwell at the crease. Maxwell struck it big and over long-off but it a four. And KKR wins by 2 runs. 

Out! Sunil Narine has won the match for KKR. Dramatic scenes here. KXIP needed 8 runs from 2 deliveries and Mandeep Singh had to go big. He went and found substitute fielder Chris Green at deep mid-wicket. Mandeep c (sub)Chris Green b Narine 0(1)

Out! Another one goes and this is the big wicket of KL Rahul. he Punjab skipper departs for a fine 74 off 58 deliveries. This was a low full toss outside off and Rahul tried to hit it straight over the bowler's head. But the ball took a big edge and crushed into his stumps. Rahul b Prasidh 74(58)

Out! Suddenly the wickets are falling in a heap for Kings XI Punjab. Prasidh Krishna gets his second wicket and dismisses Prabhsimran Singh. The young batsman tries to smash a short delivery but only manages to find Nitish Rana at cover. Simran Singh c Nitish Rana b Prasidh 4(7) 

Out! Nicholas Pooran is bowled and out. Sunil Narine gets his first wicket in the match. Pooran looks to go big and go all the way but is clean bowled by Narine. Prabhsimran Singh is the new man in for KXIP.  Pooran b Narine 16(10)

Surely Kings XI Punjab are in the driver's seat now. Nicholas Pooran has come to the crease after Mayank Agarwal's dismissal and has already smashed 16 from 9 deliveries, including a boundary in this over from Varun Chakravarthy. Punjab need 22 from 18 balls with nine wickets in hand.

Out! KKR finally gets a wicket but has it come too late for them? Mayank Agarwal departs after trying to smash a fourth-stump delivery towards the shorter leg-side boundary. Shubman Gill takes a simple catch at deep mid-wicket off Prasidh Krishna. Agarwal c Shubman Gill b Prasidh 56(39)

Kings XI Punjab need 71 more runs to win from 48 balls. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are nearing the century-run stand. Required run-rate is well under Punjab's control and looks like they are inching closer to their second win of the tournament.

Good start this for KXIP. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have added 67 runs for the opening wicket. Rahul is batting on 36 while Agarwal is on 31. KXIP need 98 more runs to win from 66 balls.
