Final Result: KKR WON BY 68 RUNS.
MOM: Shakib Al Hasan (Was the only batsman who was able to handle the conditions and was the difference in the end)
Points: KKR 2, KP 0
Report: Kings XI bowled brilliantly to restrict KKR to 127/9, and were on the unlucky side of Umpires decisions (Glitches) with 4 or 5 shockers. So much so even the opposition captain felt embarrassed and offered to restart the innings but Kings XI kindly refused.
Final Comment: Unlucky mate, was looking to be a cracker of a game with 128 to get, you were in with a fighting chance. Look forward to your home game.
