After losing Cameron Delport (0) and Cody Chetty (1) in the first two overs, Dolphins were never in the chase. Captain Morne van Wyk's 34 and the fifth-wicket 69-run stand between Phehlukwayo (37) and Zondo (32) caused KKR some problems but
KKR overcame the loss of two early wickets to post a big total after Gautam Gambhir, captaining in his 100th game, decided to bat earlier in the day. Uthappa and Pandey led KKR's comeback after captain
With the death-overs approaching, Pandey also began to cut loose and in the 18th over bowled by Kyle Abbott he hit two fours and two sixes to make his presence felt. He remained unbeaten on 76 off 47 balls with the help of five sixes and five fours while Uthappa carried his bat for 85 off 55 balls (13 fours), his best-ever T20 score. Both added a 91-ball 153 for the third wicket. KKR went into the match unchanged. The South African team, on the other hand, made one change, bringing in fast bowler Craig Alexander in place of Keshav Maharaj.
Brief scores: Kolkata Knight Riders 187 for 2 (Uthappa 85*, Manish Pandey 76*) beat Dolphins (Phehlukwayo 37, Zondo 32; Narine 3 for 33, Pathan 2 for 25) by 36 runs.
