KOLKATA, India (AP) — Opener Phil Salt scored a 47-ball 89 not out in Kolkata Knight Riders’ eight-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.
Salt smashed 14 fours and three sixes in his whirlwind knock as Kolkata won with 4.2 overs to spare. It finished on 162-2 in 15.4 overs, replying to Lucknow’s 161-7 and clocked up its fourth win in five games this season.
It was a second consecutive loss for the Super Giants who are now fifth with six points from as many games.
Salt’s second half-century of the season powered Kolkata’s chase from the very start, despite losing in-form Sunil Narine cheaply.
Left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan did the early damage for Lucknow, dismissing Narine as well as 18-year-old batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi (7).
The double breakthrough didn’t impede Salt who helped Kolkata to a powerful start of 42-2 in 3.1 overs.
