On May 4, 2017, an enthralling contest unfolded at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where the Rising Pune Supergiants showcased their dominant form against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 42nd match of the season. The match witnessed Pune chasing a target of 156 with ease, ultimately triumphing by 7 wickets and with 15 balls remaining.

Kolkata Knight Riders, batting first, faced a challenging spell as they managed to post a modest score of 155 runs in their allotted 20 overs. The innings saw contributions from various players, with Manish Pandey being the standout performer, scoring 37 runs off 45 balls, including four boundaries and one six. Sunil Narine, who had been crucial earlier in the season, unfortunately fell for a duck, while Gautam Gambhir and Colin de Grandhomme added 24 and 36 runs, respectively. The entire batting lineup struggled to convert their starts into significant scores, ultimately leading to their underwhelming total.

In response, the Rising Pune Supergiants displayed a remarkable performance, powered by Rahul Tripathi's explosive innings of 93 runs off just 84 balls, including nine boundaries and seven sixes. His innings laid a solid foundation for the chase, helping to build momentum early on. Ajinkya Rahane contributed an important 11 runs before being dismissed. The team lost a few wickets during the chase, including captain Steve Smith and Ben Stokes, but they never lost their grip on the match. Daniel Christian and Washington Sundar finished the innings with 9 and 1 runs respectively, sealing the victory with just over a full over to spare.

The bowling for Kolkata was highlighted by Chris Woakes, who picked up three crucial wickets for just 18 runs in four overs, while Sunil Narine and Umesh Yadav chipped in with one wicket each. However, their efforts were overshadowed by the outstanding batting display from the Supergiants, marking a stellar team performance that saw them chase down the total comfortably.

In summary, the match was a testament to the Rising Pune Supergiants' strength and tactical execution, asserting their dominance in the IPL 2017 season. The win not only bolstered their campaign but also showcased the importance of coherent team effort in chasing down targets, much to the delight of their fans.
