Kings XI Punjab lost to Kolkata Knight Riders at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on October 10 night with a fine margin of two runs. This was Punjab’s fifth straight defeat and sixth overall leaving them at the bottom of the table.

Requiring 14 from the last over, KXIP’s Glenn Maxwell tried to save his team with a few boundaries but they fell short by 2 runs.

Captain KL Rahul anchored the Punjab innings with 74 from 58 deliveries (six boundaries). It was his third half-century of the season and 19th in his IPL career. Mayank Agarwal scored 56 from 39 balls.

Earlier, KKR captain Dinesh Karthik and Shubnam Gill scored half-centuries to help the team post 164 for 6. It was Karthik’s first 50 of the season, while Gill scored his second 50 this edition. That saw the two-time winners.

Man of the Match Karthik’s 58 came from 29 balls (eight boundaries and two sixes), while Gill’s 57 came from 47 deliveries and had five boundaries.

For KKR, Prasid Krishna took three wickets and Sunil Narine two. Narine however was reported for suspected illegal bowling action. The Trinidadian off-spinner, as per the rules, will now be placed on the Warning List but will be permitted to continue to bowl in the tournament.
