Mixed day for Knight Riders; they win 1, lose 1

Kolkata, April 15: Kolkata Knight Riders enjoyed mixed success as of the two practice games they played on Wednesday, winning one game while losing the other.

The Shah Rukh Khan owned team lost the first game against Free State by two wickets.

Defending a meagre target off 140 runs, they managed to stretch the home team to the last ball but in the end, the score just did not prove enough.

They bounced back in the second game to romp home to a 59 run victory. Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum scored 76 each as KKR set up a formidable total of 204 runs in 20 overs. In reply, Free State could muster only 145/7.
