Tue 8 May 2012, 03:30pm BST, 08:00pm local
Kings XI Punjab win by 25 runs
| Kings XI Punjab | 170-5 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Deccan Chargers | 145-8 (20 ovs) |
Over 20. 9 runs. Bowler: Azhar Mahmood. Deccan Chargers: 144/8(rr 7.20)
Sagar to Mishra. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed to mid wicket for 1 run. So a comfortable victory for King's XI who bounce back well from their defeat to Rajasthan on Saturday. Chasing 171 always looked a tough ask for Deccan and they were unable to put together any kind of partnership or pressure needed to reach the target. Deccan are now unable to reach this year's playoffs after a disappointing campaign, while King's XI have a real chance of qualifying following this victory.
FOUR! Sagar to Mishra. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs.
Sagar to Theron. Length ball, off stump backing away pulling, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Singh.
Sagar to Mishra. Slower ball half volley, middle stump on the front foot slog sweeping, bottom edge to fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Chitnis.

OUT! Caught. Awana to Reddy. Back of a length, outside off stump backing away Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket, fielded by Marsh. Another soft dismissal as Reddy goes this time. The end can't come soon enough for Deccan.

Over 18. 6 runs. Bowler: Praveen Kumar. Deccan Chargers: 126/7(rr 7.00)

Singh to Reddy. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Saini.
OUT! Run Out. Singh to Jhunjhunwala. Full toss, to leg down the track Slog, mis-timed to long off, direct hit by Marsh. Lazy running from Jhunjhunwala gives King's XI their 7th wicket after a great throw from Shaun Marsh.
Singh to Reddy. Back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, well timed to deep backward point for 1 run, fielded by Singh.
Over 17. 10 runs. Bowler: Piyush Chawla. Deccan Chargers: 120/6(rr 7.06)

OUT! Stumped. Chawla to Reddy. Leg spinner back of a length, outside off stump down the track cutting, missed to wicketkeeper, fielded by Saini. Sharp glovework from Saini and a good comeback from Chawla after being hit for 6 on the previous ball.

Sagar to Jhunjhunwala. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot flick, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Saini.
The game is just meandering a little now - with the run rate above 12 you can't see much hope for Deccan here. They've been unable to really build a platform in this run chase.
Over 15. 7 runs. Bowler: Parvinder Awana. Deccan Chargers: 99/5(rr 6.60)

APPEAL! Awana to Reddy. Short, middle stump on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Saini, appeal made for Caught. King's XI want a wicket but it's given as a wide. Replays show they may have had a point though.
Over 14. 11 runs. Bowler: Ramesh Powar. Deccan Chargers: 92/5(rr 6.57)
SIX! Powar to Jhunjhunwala. Off break half volley, off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs.

Kumar backs up his captain with an excellent over of his own - a wicket and just 3 runs coming from it. King's XI are well on top now.
Over 12. 3 runs. Bowler: Praveen Kumar. Deccan Chargers: 75/5(rr 6.25)
Singh to Jhunjhunwala. Length ball, outside off stump down the track pushing, to extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Hussey.

OUT! Caught. Singh to Sangakkara. Out-swinging back of a length, middle stump on the front foot defending, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to wicketkeeper, fielded by Saini. The collapse continues as Sangakkara edges one off the returning Kumar. Great catch from Saini as well.
Singh to Sangakkara. Length ball, middle stump on the back foot Late Cut, well timed to third man for 2 runs, fielded by Awana.
Potentially a game-changing over from the captain there.

OUT! Caught. Hussey to White. Off break half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, fielded by Marsh. Big wicket this - the in-form White has gone with a huge hoik to cow corner that drops into the hands of a grateful Shaun Marsh.
Hussey to Sangakkara. Off break length ball, middle stump on the front foot pushing, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Miller.
Hussey to Sangakkara. Off break length ball, off stump on the front foot pushing, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Hussey.

Deccan replied with 145 for eight, with opener Daniel Harris' 30 their top score.
Apart from Singh's innings, which contained eight fours and three sixes, there were four other double-figure contributions in Punjab's score - with David Miller's 28 not out the highest.
Praveen Kumar sent down a superb four overs to ensure Deccan's response did not get going, removing Shikhar Dawan with his fifth ball and closing with figures of two for 15.
David Hussey then ended any hopes of a late surge, bowling his only over for two runs and claiming the key wickets of Harris and Cameron White.
