Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds made very little impact as Queensland defeated Kolkata Knight Riders.

Making a comeback on Saturday in the in the Twenty20 double header in Brisbane after the infamous "gone fishing" episode, Symonds had figures of (0/8) off four overs with the ball, but failed miserably with the bat, scoring just two.

Meanwhile, in the match, batting first the Knight Riders were restricted to 8-79 off their 20 overs, with the Kolkata side's coach John Buchanan's son, Michael top scoring with 16. Disappointingly, only four Knight Riders batsmen managed to score double figures.

Queensland skipper Chris Simpson (2/11) and Ben Laughlin (2-15) were the pick of the bowlers for the Australian side.

Chasing the modest target, Queensland had no hiccups as Clinton Perren cracked an unbeaten 50 to see his side through by the eighth over without losing any wicket.

Perren, who hit 11 fours, was ably supported by Greg Moller (32 not out) at the other hand.

However, after racing to the target, Queensland decided to give the visitors much needed practice, and agreed to bat on and chase a revised total of 179.

But the Australian side also made light work of that, reaching 3-180 in the 18th over.

Perren went on to make 66 off 31 balls and Moller 74 off 40.

Lee Carseldine was unbeaten on 31.
