Sourav Ganguly hit a composed half-century and Manoj Tiwary exploded after a slow start to boost Kolkata Knight Riders to 183, a total beyond the reach of a listless Kings XI Punjab. It was a mediocre game, especially from Punjab, who were so painfully slow that they fell out of the reckoning very early in the chase and finish this
 match with only 144 runs in board.

Kolkata Knight Riders 183 for 5 (Tiwary 75*, Ganguly 50) beat Kings XI Punjab144 for 6 (Sangakkara 30) by 39 runs
