Man of the match Manish Pandey (Kolkata)
The bottom teams in this season's Indian Premier League are not bowing out without a fight.
Pune Warriors India managed to get the better of Kolkata Knight Riders to win their away game in Ranchi for only their third victory in 15 games. The hosts failed to scale the 171-run target and fell short by seven runs.
Kolkata, seventh in the nine-team league, were on course to get that much-needed win to propel them up the table with Yusuf Pathan (72) and Ryan ten Doeschate (42) reviving the innings after being 29 for three at one stage.
A couple of incidents fell in Pune's favour towards the business end of Kolkata's chase. First Ten Doeschate was run out, leaving Kolkata with 37 runs needed from the last three overs.
Pathan then launched into Wayne Parnell for two fours and a six off successive deliveries to go close in the ball-run equation. But then Pathan, trying to tap and run a quick single, kicked the ball away from a swooping Parnell in his follow-through. He was ruled out for obstructing the field, the first in IPL history.
That effectively sealed the result in Pune's favour.
They had earlier started well with the top-order batsmen chipping in. Aaron Finch (48) and Yuvraj Singh (30) provided the support role to Manish Pandey who hit 66 runs with eight boundaries and a six.
Interestingly Pandey had expressed his outburst on Twitter a few days back after being dropped from the squad altogether for their game against Mumbai Indians.

Three ways to limit your social media use
Clinical psychologist, Dr Saliha Afridi at The Lighthouse Arabia suggests three easy things you can do every day to cut back on the time you spend online.
1. Put the social media app in a folder on the second or third screen of your phone so it has to remain a conscious decision to open, rather than something your fingers gravitate towards without consideration.
2. Schedule a time to use social media instead of consistently throughout the day. I recommend setting aside certain times of the day or week when you upload pictures or share information.
3. Take a mental snapshot rather than a photo on your phone. Instead of sharing it with your social world, try to absorb the moment, connect with your feeling, experience the moment with all five of your senses. You will have a memory of that moment more vividly and for far longer than if you take a picture of it.
