Today in the 17th match of Pepsi IPL 2013, Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to bat first. The opening pair of Manvinder Bisla and skipper Gautam Gambhir gave them the perfect start as they added 59 runs for first wicket partnership in 7.4 overs before Bisla got out. Skipper Gambhir continued to score yet another half century and got out after scoring 53 off 45 balls which included 6 fours and 1 six. Jacques Kallis and Eoin Morgan then continued from where the opening pair left as they scored 41 and 47 respectively to help KKR post a good total of 180/4 in 20 overs.

Chasing 181 to win, Parthiv Patel and Cameron White scored 57 runs in 9 overs for the first wicket stand before Patel got out after scoring 31 ball 27. This wicket triggered the wicket fall and Sunrisers middle order started to crumble under increasing run rate pressure. Thisara Perera showed some resistance but his knock of 36 was far too short of the target. Finally Sunrisers could score just 132/7 and thus lost the match by 48 runs.
