KKR wins the match in Drastic way

Kolkata Knight Riders finally manages to get their second Victory but unfortunately they turned up in their last game of the season. Which mean they will no more play in IPL season 2.
Not only they won the match but they won in styly with Brendon McCullum geting 81 of just 48 deliveries with 11 boundaries and 3 sixes. Along with him Brad Hodge played a Fantastic knock of 71 runs of just 44 balls which included 4 Boundaries and 4 sixes.
Even Wriddhiman Saha Contributed good 25 runs of 13 balls with 2 fours and 1 six.
It was never an easy task for KKR once they got the total of 188 to chase. Since 1st ball only the required run rate was 9.4 which kept on mounting with every dot ball.
It was a great win for KKR and now hope they can return home with better mood and confidence.

Brendon McCullum penalized for his behavior

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Brendon McCullum was severely reprimanded Sunday for showing dissent during an Indian Premier League defeat by Deccan Chargers.

The 27-year-old New Zealand wicketkeeper-cum-batsman lost his temper in the final over of a thriller at the Wanderers Saturday as Deccan chased a 161-run target and the outburst led to a hearing here chaired by the match referee.

McCullum was furious when the first delivery of the over was declared a 'no ball' because bottom-of-the-table Kolkata did not have sufficient fielders in the circle.

The decision stood and Deccan snatched a six-wicket victory in one of the most exciting matches of the second IPL season when Rohit Sharma struck a six off the final ball.

McCullum, whose team have managed just one win and three points in 12 games at the Twenty20 extravaganza, later apologised for his reaction against the umpires.

"My reaction out there was purely emotional and I wish to apologise. It is not easy being in a team that has lost a lot of tight matches," he said at the post-match presentation

Kings XI Punjab Still in the hunt

Kings XI Punjab Won a close match against Deccan Chagers, After getting a low total to defend Kings XI punjab were not sure whether they will be able to defend this total.

Batting Performance of Kings XI Punjab was not up to the mark or lets say they were not able to score good against Deccan Chargers Bowlers, Still they able to get the run rate of over 6 per over.

At the start of Deccan chargers Innings DC were cruising easily towards victory with The good 2 figure contribution from the skipper Adam Gilcrist(23), Hershelle Gibbs(26), Andrew Symonds(25) and Rohit sharma(42 of just 26 balls) Scored a brilliant runs, Rohit sharma was almost a hero for his team in 2 consecutive matches played with out a day break.

The main turn in the batting performance came when King XI Punjab Skipper Yuvraj Sing Took Hattric getting some very important wickets of Herchelle Gibbs, Andrew symonds and Venugopal Rao

The match was played till the last ball where DC needed 4 runs of last ball and they lost by 1 run.

Now Kings XI punjab has to play last game of the league and it is a do or die situation for the team. If they want to get in to the semifinals they atleast need to win the next match and then it will depend on the net run rate which team is going through to the semis.

Match Fixing in IPL

New Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi has said that he would look into the footage of the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royals Challengers Bangalore to see if the game was fixed.

Knight Riders surprisingly dropped their top-run getter Australian Brad Hodge for the match against Royal Challengers. But Hodge, instead of sitting in the dressing room, was found in the hospitality box during the match.

'There is an anti-corruption unit. We will look into the TV footage and investigate about Hodge's presence in the hospitality box,' Modi was quoted as saying by India Today's website.

Knight Riders lost the match despite putting up a challenging 173-run target on board.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has raised fears that matches in the IPL could be fixed. The BCCI had initially turned down ICC anti-corruption unit's service saying that the fee was too high.
