Kolkata Knight Riders v Kochi Tuskers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kerala-c803 – 2nd Innings Report – Part 2
Needing 88 runs from 60 deliveries with nine wickets in hand, the Kolkata Knight Riders seemed to have a solid platform to shift up a gear and launch an assault on the 157 run target set by the Kochi Tuskers Kerala.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Raiphi-Gomez-c2250 was not in a charitable mood as he sent the batsman’s stumps in a mess on the second delivery of the 11th over.
Departing for 45 runs, Kallis had to have been disappointed as he did not make it to his half century. Even he would have to accept the fact that he fell to a peach of a delivery. The captain of the Knight Riders, Gautam Gambir, made his way to the crease
but was making the walk back on the very next delivery as Gomez struck twice in two deliveries to turn the game on its head.

Settled in and comfortable, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RP-Singh-c87028 for 15 runs in the next over with the help of a four and a stylish six, before another tidy over from Gomez slowed the charge down.
Morgan showed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Vinay-Kumar-c2237 what happens to lose deliveries that come his way when he sent two of them to the boundary in the 14th over. Kumar, however, had the last laugh when he dismissed the struggling Tiwary on the last delivery with the batsman
only having scored one run in the seven deliveries he had faced.
In form batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Prasanth-Parameswaran-c82550 in the 15th
over, before going on the offensive in the 17th smashing a four and a six as he looked to take his side’s run rate up.
Yet, it was not to be as Morgan was dismissed by Kumar in the 19th over on 66 runs, before Yusuf Pathan departed one delivery later leaving the Knight Riders needing 25 runs from the last over. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MV-Boucher-c2048 both lost their wickets
in the final over as the Kochi Tuskers Kerala sealed a well deserved win on the night.
