REPORT
The Kolkata Knight Riders are one step closer now to make it to the play offs.May be after the worth risk sending the experienced spinner Chawla up the order as he did the trick with both bat and ball as well.Then Botha probably did it all in the edging last six balls.Delhi Daredevils need to look up their fielding as many catches were dropped and cheap runs were flown away.
Both the franchise will have Odds and Evens to take up as now GG would be all the way thinking about setting his Batting Line Up where as JP would be thinking to get the fielders on.The battle was SPIN vs SPIN,Hogg vs. Tahir,Sunil vs. Amit and Piyush vs. Yuvi.Amit Mishra was the best bowler of the night; the leg-spinner, who bowled 14 dot balls on the day, finished with impressive figures of 4-0-20-1. Imran Tahir was the most successful wicket-taker, returning with figures of 2 for 46, while Zaheer Khan, Albie Morkel and Yuvraj Singh too chipped in with a wicket each.KKR made use of that opening to put the pressure on the visitors and picked up three wickets. Piyush Chawla struck twice in the fourteenth over when he dismissed Kedar Jadhav and Yuvraj Singh, and then picked up the big wicket of JP Duminy in the sixteenth over to tilt the scales in favour of his team.

Here is what both the Captains had to say after the Battle :Gambhir: "I thought 170 was a real bonus thanks to Botha and it was a very strong score on this wicket, especially with our spin attack. We always knew they would come hard at us but we have options up our sleeves and I felt we were always in control of the game. It's a blessing in disguise to have so many options and hopefully everyone keeps performing."
Duminy: "We probably leaked about 15/20 runs too many but we gave it a good go with the bat. We are pretty much out of it now but we still have pride to play for. It's been the nature of our tournament unfortunately, we have let too many opportunities pass."
