In the early part of second half, Kings got crucial breakthroughs in form of Narine (6) and Nicholas Pooran (4). However, Tion Webster (58) and Tim Seifert added 81 runs for the third wicket to put the team back on track.
Alzarri Joseph dismissed Andre Russell (5) in the 14th over, to bring back Kings into the contest. However, the things were going smoothly for Knight Riders until the 18th over.
It was a lethal pace bowling display by the lanky Joseph, who send Siefert (34), Kieron Pollard (17) and Seekkuge Prasanna (1) into the hut in the 19th over.
In the last over, Anderson Phillip completed the game proceedings by hitting a maximum, and getting Knight Riders off the mark in the tournament.
Joseph finished with figures of 4/17 in four overs.
