Electing to bat after skipper Adam Voges won the toss, Perth Scorchers were off to a bright start with Voges and Craig Simmons (39; 30b, 6x4, 1x6) adding 68 for the first wicket, the best opening partnership posted by any side against the Knight Riders in 19 T20 matches this year.
But once chinaman Kuldeep Yadav got rid of Simmons, KKR spun their way back into the game. Kuldeep and then Sunil Narine had the Scorchers on a tight leash and restricted them to 151 for seven despite Voges scoring an unbeaten 52ball 71 (8x4, 1x6).
The Scorchers, however, seemed determined to make a fight of the game as their new ball pair of Jason Behrendorff and Joel Paris struck two quick blows.
Paris had skipper Gautam Gambhir (2) caught by Ashton Turner and then Behrendorff had Jacques Kallis (6) caught by Simmons to reduce the Knight Riders to 13 for two.
Robin Uthappa (23; 18b, 4x4) and then Manish Pandey (24; 23b, 3x4) tried to revive the innings but the Scorchers pacers were in no mood to relent.
Ryan ten Doeschate too perished while trying to force the pace.
At 87 for five, the Knight Riders were in trouble but Suryakumar Yadav had other ideas.
