With Manvinder Bisla, Man of the Match at last last year's final, finally firing and skipper Gautam Gambhir holding his good form, the Knights had a start at last. The first wicket yielded 59 in 7.4 overs, and the they built on the platform. Bisla scored a 24-ball 28 with five boundaries before he was caught on at deep midwicket.

Gambhir and Kallis then got together to add 43 in six overs before Gambhir was bowled by a fuller one from Ashish Reddy for a 45-ball 53 that had six fours and a six.

The experienced Kallis was happy to play second fiddle, first to Gambhir and then new-man Eoin Morgan, but whenever the South African did decide to accelerate, he did so like a costly car. His partnership with Morgan provided the final push, the England batsman going berserk with a 21-ball 47 that had five boundaries and three sixes.
