Kings dump Knight Riders, win by 6 wickets

Mahela Jayawardene cracked an unbeaten 41-ball 52 to guide Kings XI Punjab to a six-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in a last ball thriller in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.

Jayawardene was the fulcrum around which the Kings XI run-chase revolved as he stitched together three crucial partnerships to see his team reach 154 for four in the last ball of the innings.
