After having successfully chased down targets in three previous games, the Kolkata Knight Riders' skipper, who is leading for the 100th time in T20s, chose to bat first in what was a dead rubber against the winless Dolphins in their last Group A match of the Oppo CLT20 on Monday night.
The result, however, remained the same. The Knight Riders extended their win streak to 13 with a 36-run win and will take on Hurricane Hobarts in the semis on Thursday.
Chasing 188 for a win, the Dolphins, who had got the same number of runs against Chennai Super Kings while chasing 243, tried their best but failed to put the hosts under pressure. However, the visitors provided the sparse crowd some entertainment.
Earlier, opener Robin Uthappa made the most of the opportunity to bat first as he stroked his way to an unbeaten 85 (55 balls, 13x4) and fellow Karnataka mate Manish Pandey provided a lot of fireworks at the end of the innings to help the Knight Riders run up a formidable 187 for two. That laid the foundation for a grand win.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 187-2 in 20 overs (Robin Uthappa 85 not out, Manish Pandey 76 not out) beat Dolphins 151-8 in 20 overs (Andile Phehlukwayo 37, Morne van Wyk 34; Sunil Narine 3-33) by 36 runs.
