It was a mix day of enjoyment and disappointment . the blasting batting performance by the batsman of both side gave some enjoyment while in other hand rain interrupted again and the viewers again had a reduced enjoyment and it disappoint them. Punjab and Kolkata, both lost their first match and here came to prove himself in the second version and both keen to register a win here. but the first and the last punch was given by Kolkata. McULLUM won the toss and decided to field first and ISHANT made his decision right by taking the first wicket early on and sent KARAN GOEL duck. At that time score of Punjab was 9. but the real shock was given by the much discussed "Bengal Tiger" in the seventh over when he dismissed PATHAN and BOPARA in second and fourth ball of that over. PATHAN contributed 32 of just 17 delivery and BOPARA was at 15 of 15 delivery. SANGKARA and YUVRAJ tried to make a partnership with a speeding scoreboard .They succeed to add 56 runs when SANGKARA got run out by McULLUM . yuvraj also departured soon . He made blasting 38 in 28 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. After sangkara aonther srilankan player jaywardhne speeds the scoreboard and made a handful 31 in 19 dselivery.the final score of pujab was 158/6. The reply of Kolkatan's was in a superb fashion. they were in a mood of blast and it was started by GAYLE who just blown the opposition attack and made unbeaten 44 in 26 delivery with 2 fours and 4 sixes. he and HODGE are in finishing mode and the score was 79/1 in just 9 overs when rain interrupted and poured some water on GAYLE'S anger. after some patience umpires announced winner of match and it was obvious the team of SRK'S (by D/L method).
