Over 20. 10 runs. Bowler: Marchant de Lange. Pune Warriors: 143/8(rr 7.15)
de Lange to Kumar. Full toss, off stump on the front foot driving, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Bhatia. Kolkata get the victory they wanted and it never looked in doubt after they blew away the Pune top order. Ganguly and Mathews rebuilt in the middle but once they looked for the big shots the timing was not there and they were unable to keep up with the rate. Sunil Narine's spell of four overs, one for thirteen was the difference. He bowled with great variety and the Pune batsmen just could not get him away.

IPL 2012 – Match 47
Kolkata Knight Riders v Pune Warriors
Sat 5 May 2012, 11:30am BST, 04:00pm local
Kolkata Knight Riders win by 7 runs
| Kolkata Knight Riders | 150-5 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Pune Warriors | 143-8 (20 ovs) |
Gautam Gambhir's half-century inspired Kolkata Knight Riders to a narrow seven-run Indian Premier League victory over Pune Warriors.
Hopes were high that the Knight Riders would amount a substantial score after winning the toss when Gambhir and Brendon McCullum put on 113 for the opening wicket.
But the former departed for 56, McCullum fell for 42 soon after and Angelo Mathews took two for 17 in his four overs as Kolkata ended their 20 overs on 150 for five.
The Warriors fell to 55 for five in their response and although Mathews and Sourav Ganguly reignited their hopes with a 73-run partnership, they were extinguished once the captain departed for 36.
Mathews, who had earlier thumped three consecutive sixes off Yusuf Pathan, fell in the last over after making 35 as Pune finished on 143 for eight, with Marchant de Lange the pick of the bowlers with three for 34.
