Kings XI Punjab v Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 - 1st Innings Report - Part 2
The Kings XI Punjab needed to push on and go for the big shots after managing a decent, but at the same time not very safe looking score of 71 runs after the first 10 overs. The Pune Warriors’ bowling, however, looked solid and was doing a decent job of
restricting the opposing batsmen from running away with the innings.
MR Marsh bowled the 11th over for the Warriors as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309 kept Marsh and Karthik from taking more than two runs in the next four deliveries.
B Kumar made a vital breakthrough for the Pune Warriors when he dismissed the dangerous looking http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380 made his way to the
crease to continue the innings. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 gave away another seven runs in the 14th over which had its fair share of drama with a missed run out, as Hussey's ineffective innings came to pre-mature end just two deliveries later.
Departing for just four runs after getting an outside edge which the keeper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kommu-Karthik-c71642 departed for 30 runs in the next
over after sending Marsh’s delivery straight to long on.
SD Chitnis got off the mark with a single which meant that the Kings XI batsman would retain the strike in the next over, during the span of which Chitnis managed to find a very useful boundary for his side. Chitnis was dropped by Manish Pandey in an eventful
18th over before Mandeep Singh found himself caught by Yuvraj Singh on 6 runs when he mistimed his shot, giving Parnell his first wicket of the match.
The last two overs brought with it two wickets and a total of nine runs, which by the Kings XI standards was extremely poor. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 picked up another wicket, and Parnell
also gave away just three runs and claimed the wicket of Chitnis at 9 runs as well.
The first innings ended with the Kings XI Punjab crawling to a 119 run total, losing eight wickets in the process. The score left the door wide open for the Pune Warriors to claim a much needed win.
