• Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to bat first

• The pair put up 110 runs for the fourth wicket with Rana smashing 63 off 34 balls
• Rana was dismissed in the 15th over and Andre Russell came in
• The big West Indies all-rounder was cleaned up by Mohammed Shami before he could do any damage but that delivery turned out to be a no-ball due to three fielders being inside the inner circle.
• Russell went on to cream 48 runs in 17 balls and KKR posted a total of 218/4
• Chris Gayle got the Punjab chase off to a good start but just as he started to look threatening, he was dismissed by his fellow West Indian Russell
• Mayank Agarwal and David Miller put up a partnership of 74 for the fifth wicket and kept KXIP’s hopes alive
• But it was all a bit too much and while Agarwal and Miller both scored half-centuries, KKR ended up winning by 28 runs
