Delhi Daredevils 136/8 - Kings XI Punjab won the toss and chose to bat
Kings XI Punjab have posted a meagre tally of 136 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their IPL-5 match against Delhi Daredevils while batting first at Feroz Shah Kotla, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
Having won the toss, the visitors aimed to post an intimidating total on the board in order to keep in the running for a place in the play-offs of the mega lucrative event, however, they were cut short by some magnificent fielding and bowling by Delhi, who prevented the batting side from getting carried away.

Wicketkeeper/batsman, N Saini, was then next to walk in as he proved an asset for his team by hammering the bowlers at will in a bid to keep the score board ticking.
The combination of Singh alongside Saini was lethal as the duo looked unstoppable and in impeccable form.
However, all good things eventually come to an end as this partnership also saw its last when with 43 runs on the board, Singh after bolstering an innings of 21 runs hit the showers.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380, then walked in the field but before he could mould a formidable partnership alongside Saini, the latter departed after hammering a knock of 15 runs.
It was then an unimaginable chaos for Punjab as they started losing their wickets like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gareth-Berg-c1457, apart from Hussey none of the batsmen seemed capable enough of handling the pressure of the bowling they were up against.
All-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azhar-Mahmood-c1116, also failed to score in double figures as he found his way back to the pavilion after scoring an innings of nine runs.
With all the wreckage of fallen batsmen around him, Hussey steadfast and belted an astounding innings of 40 runs to help his side amass a match salvaging total.
The game is now hanging in balance and both teams can win it from here if they execute their strategy according to plan.
