KKR ended up with a comfortable win over Punjab Kings thanks to the contributions from their star Jamaican Andre Russell and Indian international Umesh Yadav.
An Odean Smith cameo at the end turned out to be the difference as Punjab Kings chased down a mammoth target of 206 against RCB to start their IPL campaign with a win. Smith ended up with 25 off 8 balls as Punjab got home with an over to spare in the end.
