WOW!! WOW!! KKR have beaten KXIP by 2 runs in a last-ball thriller. How could KXIP lose it from 115-0. Two wickets came in the phenomenal penultimate over from Prasidh Krishna with the rusty Prabhsimran Singh getting dismissed first and then KL Rahul getting bowled. With 14 runs needed from the final 6 balls, Narine dismissed new man Mandeep Singh. It all boiled down to 6 runs needed from the final ball with Maxwell on strike. Maxwell hit a four on the last ball with the ball taking a bounce just a few inches before the boundary line. KXIP: 162/5 (20 Overs)
10 October 2020, 19:17 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! IS THAT THE GAME?? KL Rahul is bowled by Prasidh Krishna on the final ball off the penultimate over. 14 runs needed from 6 balls now. Mandeep Singh and Maxwell on the crease for KXIP. KKR: 151/4 (19 Overs)
10 October 2020, 19:07 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Nicholas Pooran is bowled by Sunil Narine. Tried to go over the infield on the leg side but completely misreads the flight against Narine. Is it too late now ? New man in Prabhsimran Singh plays three straight dot balls to add pressure on his skipper KL Rahul. He takes the single off the last ball and remains on strike. KKR won't mind that at all. The newbie on strike with all the pressure. 20 needed from 12. KXIP: 145/2 (18 Overs)
10 October 2020, 18:58 PM
Now Nicholas Pooran is getting into the act. He hits a majestic six and four off Nagarkoti to take his side right on the cusp of victory. KXIP will try to finish it off as quickly as possible with wickets in hand to get their net run-rate in check. 29 needed now from 24 balls. KXIP: 136/1 (16 Overs)
10 October 2020, 18:55 PM
#KKR finally gets the breakthrough.
The 115-run partnership is broken as Mayank Agarwal is caught in the deep. Departs for 56 runs.

WICKET!! OUT!! Mayank Agarwal is dimissed by Prasidh Krishna. Finally KKR have something to cheer about. Agarwal tried to castle one on the leg side but hands a straight catch in the deep to Shubman Gill. This has been a snoozefest ever since the duo of Agarwal and KL Rahul took the field. That itself is an ode to their batting mastercalss. Just did the basics right - this was their game plan today. Rotating the strike at will. Let's see if KKR can conjure something up now. KXIP: 117/1 (15 Overs)
10 October 2020, 18:36 PM
Kings XI well on top. They are cruising towards victory. They have excellently executed their game plan today. They have never once today, been troubled by the KKR bowlers. Without doing anything extraordinary, they are keeping the run-rate in check and moving closer to the total. Rahul and Agarwal have both completed their fifties now. Brilliant from the duo. KKR: 106/0 (13 Overs)
10 October 2020, 18:25 PM
Great batting from Rahul and Agarwal. Without hitting a single boundary, they pick-up 9 runs from Sunil Narine's second over which shows their class. Brilliant stuff from the duo. KXIP: 76/0 (10 Overs)
10 October 2020, 18:12 PM
No problems at all for the KXIP opening duo. They are sticking to their plan and after a boundary, simply rotate the strike without doing anuthing unnecessary. They have succesfully tackled the pacers and now the KKR spinners are into the attack. KXIP: 54/0 (7 Overs)
10 October 2020, 18:11 PM
#KXIP have got off to a steady start here in Abu Dhabi.
At the end of the powerplay, the scoreboard reads 47/0

Good start from Kings XI. The in-form duo of Rahul and Agarwal have faced no issues so far against Cummins and Krishna. The duo are shocasing their class with some textbook strokes. No rash shots so far. KXIP: 36/0 (5 Overs)
10 October 2020, 17:43 PM
DROPPED!! KL Rahul is dismissed by big man Andre Russell. It would have been a huge wicket for Prasidh Krishna. Prasidh bowls a slower one and Rahul miscues it, only to loop it straight over. And adding insult to injury, Russell is inured in the process and the ball went away to the boundary. Russell has gone off. What a big loss it will be for KKR. He has hobbled away. KXIP: 8/0 (2 Overs)
10 October 2020, 17:37 PM
KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal will open the Kings XI Punjab innings'. Pat Cummins will start the proceedings for Kolkata Knight Riders. KXIP: 0/0 (0 Overs)

Kolkata Knight Riders have posted a competitive total of 164/6 against Kings XI Punjab. KKR: 164/6 (20 Overs)
10 October 2020, 17:10 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Andre Russell is out caught behind. Brilliant bowling from Arshdeep Singh. Andre Russell disappoints again as he dismissed for 5 only. He had edged the previous ball for four but this time Prabhsimran completes the caught behind. KKR: 150/4 (18.2 Overs)
10 October 2020, 17:06 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Shubman Gill is run-out but he has done his job. He is gone for a composed innings of 57 off 47 balls. He tried to go for a second run but falls just short as the wicketkeeper clips the bails first. Perhaps it is good for KKR at this stage as Russell is the new man in. KKR: 146/4 (18 Overs)
10 October 2020, 16:57 PM
Wonderful from Karthik. He is on fire today. He hits two fours and a brilliant six off Chris Jordan's third over with a total of 18 runs coming from it. He has reached 43 from 19 balls. Fnatastic inning from the skipper as he leads from the front. It looks like he has finally found the right batting position from himself. Very good from KKR. KKR: 133/3 (17 Overs)
10 October 2020, 16:56 PM
That's a 50-run partnership between @RealShubmanGill & @DineshKarthik.

Shubman Gill reaches his fifty. Brilliant innings from him. He had to play this knock especially after being involved in Rana's run-out early on. Skipper Dinesh Karthik. meanwhile, has started timing them well now and has raced away to 28 off 15 balls. KKR: 115/3 (16 Overs)
10 October 2020, 16:50 PM
FIFTY!

16 runs coming from Mujeeb's final over. KKR really need to start firing at all cylinders if they want to post a competitive total. Although it must be said that this is a difficult pitch with the ball coming very slowly to the bat. KKR: 91/3 (14 Overs)
10 October 2020, 16:35 PM
Bishnoi gets rewarded for smart bowling and gets the breakthrough!
Morgan departs after scoring 24 runs.

OUT!! WICKET!! Eoin Morgan is dismissed by Ravi Bishnoi. Morgan tries to go big but miscues his timing on the wrong one from Bishnoi. The googly does the trick as Morgan is way too early into the shot and Maxwell completes the catch at long-on. KKR: 68/3 (12 Overs)
10 October 2020, 16:15 PM
Eoin Morgan and Shubman Gill have steadied the ship somewhat but Kings XI have done well to tighten the screw. The need a big innings from someone like Morgan. Ravi Bishnoi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are now operating the attack for Kings XI. KKR: 49/2 (9 Overs)

Very good from Kings XI. They restrict KKR to just 25/2 from the first six overs. Eoin Morgan and Shubman Gill are trying to settle-in but can't freetheir hands because of very tight lines from the Kings XI bowlers. Although, they take 13 runs from Mujeeb Ur Rehman's first over to recover a bit. KKR: 38/2 (7 Overs)
10 October 2020, 15:52 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Terrible mix-up in the middle leads to Nitish Rana getting run-out. Gill had shuffled Arshdeep's delivery to short fine-leg, straight to the fileder. But, Nitish Rana had already reached the striker's end and Gill never moved. Pooran completes an easy run-out. He simply jogs to the non-strikers end and removes the bails. Pressure on the KKR batsmen, KXIP well on top. KKR: 15/2 (4 Overs)
10 October 2020, 15:51 PM
Bowled him!
Shami strikes and Tripathi has to depart for 4 runs. 50th wicket in the IPL for @MdShami11.

OUT!! WICKET!! Rahul Tripathi is bowled by Mohammad Shami. Tripathi never really looked settled today. He was looking very clumsy. After being at 0 from 8 balls, he manages to pull one for four against Shami but Shami responds by rattling the stumps. Tripathi's middle stump went cartwheeling to the wicketkeeper. KXIP bolwers giving a good account of themselves here. Very agressive from them. KKR: 13/1 (3 Overs)
10 October 2020, 15:36 PM
While the first bowler from Shami was pretty conventional with 7 runs coming from it, Arshdeep Singh impressed one and all in his first over. He beats the in-form batsman Rahul Tripathi on five of his first six balls. He nips the ball away from Tripathi, who just about manages to survive the over. A wonderful maiden to begin from Arshdeep. KKR: 7/0 (2 Overs)
10 October 2020, 15:30 PM
Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi will open Kolkata Knight Riders' innings. Mohammad Shami will open the bowling attack for Kings XI Punjab. KKR:0/0 (0 Overs)
