Opener Irfan fell for a golden duck, leaving the Kings in trouble early on. Skipper Dhruv and Tejas played cautiously, trying to build a good score but the Bisons’ bowlers bowled good areas and gave nothing away.

Santosh and Lokesh also fell quickly thereafter, bringing Sandheep in at the 13th over.

Köln Kings played their first double header of the season on the 18th of July, facing their old adversary Köln Challengers for the first game. The Challengers won the toss and decided to bat first, knowing they would have to bat extremely well to counter the Kings’ potent bowling attack. Veteran pace bowler Appu continued his fine form, getting rid of the opener Sriram with a lovely ball that swung away late. Prateek bowled some vicious out-swingers at the other end, making it very difficult for the batsmen to even connect bat on ball. Appu was replaced by left-arm spinner Sandheep, who bowled good areas and kept the pressure on the batsmen.
