Kings XI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 170/5 (20/20 ov) - Deccan Chargers won the toss and chose to field
Tuesday. May 08: Kings XI Punjab have bolstered an amazing total of 170 runs in their clash against Deccan Chargers after they were put into bat by the home side on losing the toss at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792.
Deccan were aiming to put Punjab under pressure by restricting them from amassing a heavy total on the board, as the side was looking to save grace after having a terrible season, where they are at the last place on the points table.
However, their bowlers completely failed to push the batsmen to their limits as Punjab exhibited some of the finest shots in modern-day cricket.
Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SE-Marsh-c2470 gave their side a stand of 55 runs as they punished the bowlers by crafting superb shots.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 was then the first to hit the showers as he lost his wicket after clobbering an innings of 22 runs off 20 deliveries.
Deccan then struck again by dismissing number-three batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nitin-Saini-c79746, for two runs, as he was trapped in front of stumps on a delivery bowled by Ashish Reddy.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380, was the next man to walk in and he showed good touch with the bat, forming a potent alliance with Singh, who was already giving the fielding side enough trouble.
Finally with 97 runs on the board, the potentially dangerous partnership between the two came to its eventual demise on the wicket of Hussey, who departed after hammering 16 runs.
Singh and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashish-Reddy-c1095 with 75 runs to his name.
The astounding knock by the opener had done enough damage and had given the team a solid base for a huge total.
With Mahmood run out for 14 runs, it was the unbeaten innings of 28 runs by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Miller-c1300 that helped the team amass a stinging total on the board.
Deccan will now have to bat superbly well in order to avert another imminent defeat in the tournament.
