AHMEDABAD - England captain Eoin Morgan hit a rock steady 47 to guide Kolkata Knight Riders to a convincing five-wicket win over Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League on Monday.
Punjab managed only 123 for nine off their 20 overs, with Prasidh Krishna taking three wickets for 30.
Recovering from early shocks which left them 17 for three at one stage, Kolkata reached 126 for five with 20 balls to spare.
Morgan and Rahul Tripathi put on 66 for the fourth wicket and set Kolkata on course for only their second win of the season that lifted them to mid-table in the eight-team IPL.
Rajasthan Royals beat
Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets to move off last place in the
Indian Premier League on Saturday but England s Jos Buttler took a worrying high speed blow to the head.
The Rajasthan opener lost sight of a ball from Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins and it struck him on the jaw.
A team physio carried out a concussion check on the pitch and Buttler carried on, but he was out lbw nine balls later to spinner Varun Chakravarthy for five.
Rajasthan have already lost England stars Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer to injury and have struggled this year.
