Speaking further about the match, then Bhilwara Kings faced an early blow only on the score of four runs. Wicketkeeper-batter Morne van Wyk fell prey to Mitchell Johnson in the first over of the innings. But it was also the time when two legends William Porterfield and Shane Watson took the charge and stitched a massive partnership of 116 runs for the second wicket.
Both batters scored brilliant half-century knocks of 59 and 65 runs respectively. Other than these two, Yusuf Pathan and Rajesh Bishnoi also played the crucial knocks of 48 and 36 runs respectively. On the backs of these knocks, Kings managed to post a big total of 226 runs for the loss of five wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
While chasing the target, India Capitals also suffered from some early setbacks as they lost three wickets on the score of 48 runs in 5.4 overs. But the amazing half-century knock of 84 runs from former Kiwi veteran Ross Taylor and match-defining knock of 60 runs from Ashley Nurse helped the Capitals to chase the target in 19.3 overs to win the match by four wickets.
Ross Taylor won the ‘player of the match award for his blistering knock of 84 runs off just 39 balls with nine boundaries and five maximums to his name.
