Punjab XI sets Delhi Daredevils competitive target: IPL-4 News
KXI 170/6 in 20 overs
A fine all-round batting performance has helped Punjab Kings Eleven (KXI) post a highly competitive total in an Indian Premier League match against the Delhi Daredevils (DD) being played in Dharamsala in the Northern part of the country.
The picturesque venue saw the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 outfit that had fresh life breathed into the campaign in the last few games score at a quick rate after a slow start to make a real impression at the packed venue.
The captain of the KXI team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 attack toil under the sun.
Valthaty who has been one of the success stories of the tournament continued his impressive run with 62 off only 50 balls, his innings included 3 sixes and 6 fours.
Marsh scored 46 off 28 balls. He also helped up the tempo in his innings which included 5 fours and 3 sixes, his partnership with Valthaty yielded 102 runs.
The KXI batting stuttered a vee bit from here on in, the demise of Valthaty and Marsh in quick succession meant that the run rate came down sharply.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mandeep-Singh-c74122 took a swipe at the bowling towards the end of the innings. Karthik scored 27 runs off 19 balls, including four fours.
On the other hand Mandeep hammered two fours out of the 7 balls he faced which took the score past the 170 runs mark.
The wicket has a fair degree of pace and bounce in it and would make life tough for the DD when they come out to hunt down the target, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aavishkar-Salvi-c885 claimed two wickets to peg back the KXI team.
