Punjab Kings set an Indian Premier League record for the lowest total successfully defended as they beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs, today
Chasing 112 to win, KKR looked on course for victory at 72 for 3 but a collapse of seven wickets for 23 runs in 36 balls meant they were bowled out for 95 in 15-point-1 overs.
India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal took 4 for 28 as KKR capitulated on a pitch offering variable bounce.
West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell was the last man out – bowled for 17 via an inside edge by left-arm quick Marco Jansen.
The winning total of 111 beat Chennai Super Kings’ 116 for 9 against Punjab Kings in 2009 as the lowest score defended in a full IPL match.
