Knight Riders ends their losing Streak

By Prashanth

Rain Showers down the Eden Gardens results in 16-16 match.Ganguly won the toss and elected to bat first.It was quite a steady start but Kolkata lose wickets in regular intervals.Some brilliant effect from Steyn and Cameroon White leads to the dismisal of Ganguly and David Hussey.Then it was upto the tail enders to take the responsibility.Saha and Murali Karthik shared some few runs and take the score past 100.Kolkata set 129 as target.Bangalore lost Chanderpaul early but Arun kumar was timing the ball well.He hits 3 fours of Gul first over and then he got out in the same over due to a brilliant fielding and direct throw by Hodge.Ganguly was impressive with his bowling.He took Dravid wicket and conceded just 7 runs in his 3 overs.Cameron white and Boucher played sensibly,but the asking rate keep on climbing.It was a great bowling from Kolkata.Last overs they need 34 runs.Murali Karthik was given the ball.He smartly ran out White,who was in the runner side,next 3 balls Boucher attacked(2 fours and 1 six in that over).Ishant bowled the final over.He bowled sensibly and ensured a 5 run victory for Kolkata.Boucher(50 of 40 balls) did a great effort but Kolkata had the last laugh.Saurav was awarded Man of the Match.
