Jonny Bairstow's astonishing 108 from 48 balls leads Punjab Kings to the highest-ever successful T20 run-chase.
Kolkata Knight Riders posted 261-6 but the Kings reached their target with eight balls to spare and eight wickets remaining.
"I've never been faced with a target like that before. So we knew the powerplay would be important, and if anything is close to being in your area you've got to make the most of it."Prabhsimran Singh opened with Bairstow as an impact substitute and smashed 54 from 20 balls in an opening stand of 93 in six overs.
Kolkata spinner Sunil Narine's 1-24 from four overs was a remarkable effort in the context of the score, making him the only bowler to concede at a rate under 10 runs per over in the innings.
