Robin Uthappa fired the third-fastest fifty in the 2016 IPL as Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Kings XI Punjab by six wickets in Mohali. Uthappa (53 off 28 balls) smashed nine fours on his way to a 24-ball fifty as the Knight Riders reached their 139-run target with 17 balls to spare.Shaun Marsh earlier hit an unbeaten 56 from 41 balls for Kings XI but was one of only three players to notch double-figures as they struggled to 138-8 when put into bat by Kolkata, Sunil Narine impressive in taking 2-22. Mark Ramprakash tells Matt Floyd and Marcus North about his time in India watching the coaching techniques used by Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders Kolkata made comfortable work of the run-chase to win their third in four, with Kings XI consigned to the reverse, having lost three of their first four games.Murali Vijay and Manan Vohra - both so impressive in scoring fifties in Kings XIs first win over Pune on Sunday - opened up, but the latter lasted only 12 balls before falling to Morne Morkel (2-27) in the fourth over.Vijay and Marsh safely negotiated the rest of the six-over powerplay and looked to be going along nicely until Piyush Chawla (1-18) bowled Vijay for 26 with a brilliant googly. Fellow legspinner Narine inflicted further damage, picking up Wriddhiman Saha caught behind, and Glenn Maxwell switch-hitting straight to cover.In between those blows, Yusuf Pathan struck with his first ball of the tournament to remove Kings XI captain David Miller - the skipper tallying his third single-figure score for the tournament.Three more wickets fell in the final few overs, including Pradeep Sahu to a poor run out, but Marsh at least reached his half century with six in the final over, one of two off Andre Russells final - and solitary - over, as Kyle Abbott also lofted him over the ropes to add some gloss to the score.Uthappa and captain Gautam Gambhir put on 82 for the first wicket for Kolkata, the writing on the wall from ball one almost as Uthappa tucked it away off his pads for four. Robin Uthappa celebrates his half century in Kolkatas comfortable win over Kings XI The opening pair blasted 65 runs from the powerplay, although they benefitted from a couple of slices of luck in the fifth over, with Miller missing an opportunity to run out Gambhir at mid-on, and a thick outside edge from Uthappa off Sandeep Sharma just evading Saha behind the stumps.Both eventually fell to legspinner Pardeep Sahu (2-18) - Uthappa out lbw in the ninth over, while Gambhir departed for a run-a-ball 34 in the 11th to a terrific diving catch from Maxwell at midwicket.A slightly complacent Kolkata also lost Manish Pandey (12) and Shakib Al Hasan (11) to Axar Patel (2-19) before eventually earning a comfortable win.Watch continued coverage of the IPL on Sky Sports, with the next live action seeing Mumbai Indians face Royal Challengers Bangalore from 3pm on Sky Sports 2 on Wednesday.

Nike Air Max 97 Günstig Online Kaufen . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. Two days ago, New Zealand celebrated victory in the second Test against Pakistan in Hamilton, a win that meant a 2-0 triumph in the series. At least, they celebrated inasmuch as they could: the next day eight of their Test XI were flying to Australia to defend the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy. Australias players thought they had a quick format switch after the Adelaide Test, but New Zealand are two days and one international flight worse off.New Zealand also arrive with no Ross Taylor, who is recovering from eye surgery. They have no Adam Milne, Mitchell McClenaghan, or Corey Anderson, who are all out injured. Surprisingly, they have no Ish Sodhi, the legspinner who only once has faced Australia in an ODI earlier this year, and was Man of the Match, yet has been left out now. And of course, there is no Brendon McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Grant Elliott, Nathan McCullum, or Kyle Mills, all retired since the World Cup.We are missing some key players, New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said in Sydney on Thursday. Weve lost over 1000 one-day international games since the World Cup. To replace those is a challenge. But weve also got some exciting players that you guys wont know a lot about. Hopefully you will in a week or 10 days. Thats important for us to give them this sort of exposure, and find out which ones we want to keep backing and supporting.Among the new faces are legspinner Todd Astle, preferred in this series to Sodhi, and yet to make his ODI debut. Then there is Colin de Grandhomme, the seam bowler, who made a stunning Test debut against Pakistan last month but has only one ODI to his name, nearly five years ago. And then there is the 25-year-old fast bowler Lockie Ferguson, uncapped for New Zealand in any format, but a man who at his best can break the 150kph mark.With Adam Milne missing, Lockie gives us that point of difference in our attack, Hesson said. He hasnt played a huge amount up until that last two seasons. Hes got over a lot of injuries. Hes got to an age where those major issues tend to dissipate a bit, once you get to 24, 25. Hes a strong bowler, hes certainly quick. Id be very surprised if hee doesnt play at some point in this series.ddddddddddddes like Adam Milne, theyve both bowled over 150 at times ... Lockie is at the early stage of his career, but we know that hes capable of bowling at pace at times. Its difficult, your first series theres obviously going to be some nerves. But hes a confident character. When he gets his opportunity, Im sure hell give us a point of difference in our attack, which is important.Not that Australias ODI side is without change. Batting allrounder Hilton Cartwright is hoping for a debut in this series, and Australias leading ODI wicket taker in 2016 - John Hastings - has been left out due to the return of frontline fast men Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. And, like New Zealand, Australia have lost much ODI experience since the teams met in the 2015 World Cup final, with Michael Clarke, Mitchell Johnson, Brad Haddin and Shane Watson all retired.Since then, the teams have met once in a Chappell-Hadlee Series, when New Zealand won 2-1 at home earlier this year. And despite Australias 5-0 thrashing in a one-day series in South Africa in October, when they took an under-strength attack and rested Starc and Hazlewood, they will enter this series as No.1 in the world, as compared to New Zealand at No.3.Their one-day side is a heck of a lot more settled than their Test side, Hesson said of Australia. Their one-day side has been incredibly consistent, bar the South African series theyve been very good for a number of years. Currently ranked No.1 in the world, so I dont think the unsettled nature of the Test side will lead into the one-day side.We want to hang on to the Chappell-Hadlee. Weve won it the last couple of times and its really important for us. Australia are our big brothers and to win a bilateral series against them is important to us. If the byproduct of that is an increase in rankings then great. But we tend to look at the rankings at the back end of a season and see how youve gone, rather than it be a motivation for us. ' ' '
