Kolkata Knight Riders were once again defeated by the Deccan Chargers on the last ball of the game at the Wanderers on Saturday.

A 17-ball 43 by David Hussey took the Kolkata Knight Riders to 160-5 against the Deccan Chargers. Sourav Ganguly made a 41-ball 33 and Brad Hodge hit 48 off 41 balls as the Knight Riders were struggling at the half-way mark. But Hussey’s surge allowed the Knight Riders to put up a competitive total.

Deccan Chargers skipper Adam Gilchrist elected to bowl against the Kolkata Knight Riders after winning the toss.

Herschelle Gibbs, who was dropped after making three ducks, came back into the Deccan eleven. Ryan Harris and Harmeet Singh also returned for the Chargers. Chaminda Vaas and Dwayne Smith along with Shoaib Maqsusi were excluded.

For the Kolkata Knight Riders, their prize acquisition of the second edition Mashrafe Mortaza finally was given a thumbs up and made his debut as a Knight Rider. Brad Hodge also returned for the Knight Riders as Ajantha Mendis and Angelo Matthews were kept out.
