They broke the record for the lowest score ever defended in a T20 match as they beat KKR by 16 runs.

Overview

  • Punjab Kings successfully defended the lowest total in IPL history, bowling out Kolkata Knight Riders for 95 to secure a 16-run victory.
  • Yuzvendra Chahal delivered a match-winning performance with figures of 4-28, triggering a dramatic Kolkata batting collapse from 62-2 to 95 all out.
  • Kolkata captain Ajinkya Rahane's decision not to review a pivotal LBW call proved costly, as ball tracking later suggested the delivery was outside off stump.
  • Andre Russell's late counterattack, including two sixes, was not enough to rescue Kolkata as Punjab's bowlers held their nerve to seal the win.
  • The victory moves Punjab Kings into the top four of the IPL standings with eight points from six matches, while Kolkata faces mounting criticism after their fourth loss of the season.
