That is all from this game. Good night
Narine is the Man of the Match. Narine: "Mainly it is trying to keep down the run rate in the Powerplay and hopefully pick up a wicket or two. He (Kuldeep Yadav) is a pretty good bowler, he is young, has a lot to learn."
Gambhir: "Important that the openers give a good platform, made it easy for the middle order. Middle order had won us the last game. A kind of wicket where you never know what a good total is. Robin took his time and later played good shots. I do not want to be too critical (about the fielding). We have won 11 in a row which is a great achievement."
Hafeez: "We got the target we wanted to. 150 on this pitch with the way the ball was turning. Fielding was not up to the mark. We did not take some chances. Still it was a good show, youngsters are learning every game, we have to give them confidence, they will do well. Shehzad was magnificent. Narine bowled well."
Uthappa says the pitch deteriorated just a touch, started keeping a bit low, but once he and Gambhir adjusted, it was fine.
So KKR went from 100 for 0 to 147 for 6 but they have got through with three balls to spare. Didn't really have the runs in the end, Lahore, although their fielding was atrocious at times.
Sunil Narine in this CLT20: 3 for 9 and 1 for 9. Yet to concede double figures
