Hosein helps Chennai get the better of Kolkata

CHENNAI, India (AP): Left-arm spinners Noor Ahmad and Akeal Hosein made full use of a slow wicket and led Chennai Super Kings to a 32-run victory over winless Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League yesterday. Ahmad (3-21) grabbed all his wickets in the space of seven balls and Hosein tied down batters with a tidy spell of 1-26 to restrict Kolkata at 160-7. Kolkata are still searching for their first win in the tournament after four losses and one point from a rain-abandoned game.
