Kolkata Knight Riders registered yet another comfortable win in IPL-12 and this time they didn't even need the big-hitting of Andre Russell. Openers Sunil Narine (47 off 25, 6x4, 3x6) and Chris Lynn (50 off 32 balls, 6x4, 2x6) gave KKR the perfect start at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium as they chased down Rajasthan Royals' 139-3 with eight wickets and 37 balls to spare.

The win overshadowed Australian Steve Smith's unbeaten half century after the Royals were put in to bat. Smith struck his first half century of this IPL season as he remained not out on 73 off 59 deliveries. The former Australia captain, who returned to competitive cricket last month after serving a one-year ban for his involvement in the infamous ball-tampering scandal in South Africa, hit seven fours and one six in his unbeaten knock.
