They win together they loose together don't they?It looks that way for the IPL teams playing in this Champions League Twenty20 tournament .Earlier in the day we saw Delhi Daredevils win in a thriller and now we see Kolkata Knight riders who truly showed tonight why they are the defending IPL champions.They won the match with a staggering 99 runs with Balaji picking up 4 wickets.When Kolkata were batting much like Chennai super kings the other day dominated in the first ten overs scoring 100 runs then lost their way a bit but still ended up with a commendable total of 188 runs.Looking at the total it looked like half the match was won by Kolkata.When titans came in to bat L Balaji showed his class as he did in the IPL picking up 4 wickets for just 19 runs.Its sad Kolkata will be out of the tournament but brilliant match today and they deserved to win.Below is the full scorecard.
