Ahmedabad, April 26: After a superlative bowling effort, Eoin Morgan and Rahul Tripathi played reselient knocks to guide Kolkata Knight Riders to a 5-wicket win against Punjab Kings in Match 21 of IPL 2021 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday (April 26).
Put into bat, Punjab Kings managed a paltry 123 for 9 after youngster Shivam Mavi (1/13) started it all, before Cummins (2/31) and Prasidh Krishna (3/30) tightened the noose sharing five wickets between them at the death. Spin duo Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy were also among the wickets as they claimed 2 and 1 wicket each respectively.
In response, KKR lost three wickets in hurry, but skipper Morgan (47 not out off 40 balls) and Tripathi (41 off 32 balls) stitched together a 66-run stand to get them back on track in the run chase.
Despite losing Tripathi and Andre Russell at the closing stages, Morgan joined hands with Dinesh Karthik (12 not out off 6 balls) to hand KKR their second win of the season with 20 balls to spare. For Punjab Kings, Mohammed Shami took 2 wickets, while Arshdeep Singh and Moises Henriques took a wicket each.
After suffering four defeats on the trot in Chennai and Mumbai, the bottom-placed KKR's campaign finally got some boost as the bowling unit led by Pat Cummins fired in unison before their skipper Morgan found some kind of form as they moved to the 5th place replacing PBKS.
