	Match Scorecard
Man of the Match: R van der Merwe	Uppal, Hyderabad (25 September 2011)

Bisla came out swinging everything but he and Gambhir fell in same over as KKR stuttered to 21/2 after 3 with 47% COW. Kallis and Tiwary resurrected the innings with a steady partnership but the RR was never too impressive. When Tiwary fell KKR, at 74/3 after 13 with 38% COW, looked likely to end with a subpar score but a brilliant late rally by Kallis and Pathan saw them post 161/3 with 51% COW. KKR picked up Trego early but that was their only success for a while as Trego and Van Der Merwe absolutely hammered their bowling to all parts as they raced to 107/1 after 10 with 77% COW. VDM raced to a hurricane of a fifty and by the time Shakib’s brilliance got rid of both of them it was too little late. Somerset cantered home with 2 balls to spare.
