The Kolkata Knight Riders got a win over the Lucknow Super Giants for the first time in four meetings in the Indian Premier League, when the two teams met at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.
Lucknow was put into bat first after Kolkata captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss. The away team managed to put up a total of 161/7 in their allotted 20 overs.
The target would eventually prove to be much too low as the Knight Riders, powered by opener Phil Salt’s unbeaten 89 marched home to a comprehensive eight-wicket win, with 26 balls to spare.
The win sees the Knight Riders remain firm in second position in the league table with eight points – four wins out of five matches. They trail only Rajasthan Royals on 10 points. The Lucknow team meanwhile is in fifth spot with three wins and as many losses.
