Hyderabad: Scoreboard after the reigning IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Hobart Hurricanes by 7 wickets in the first semifinal of 2014 CLT20 played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad on Thursday.
Chasing a target of 141, Kallis added 63 runs for the third wicket with Manish Pandey, whose 32-ball-40 also proved to be priceless in the final context of the match.
