Well Yuvraj Singh’s Punjab team is marching towards to winning stick as they claim their fourth successive win which takes them on top of the table with other 3 teams. Kings XI Punjab recorded a comfortable victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders winning by just 9 runs. That was a big relive for them as they took the match away from Kolkata Knight Riders who were very close to win. Kings XI Punjab won the toss and choose bat first and started well with batting. Shaun Marsh was the high scorer with 40 runs while other batsmen also supported well provide a good innings to put 178 for six off their 20 overs. It was a challenging total for any team in T20. Umar Gul impressed with good bowling and took 2 wickets. Chasing a 179 runs to win Kolkata Knight Riders had a disaster start as they lost 4 wickets for just 29 runs and soon they lost 5th for 50 runs. It looks like game over for them but game was not over yet as David Hussey and Saha recovers some hope with a sixth-wicket partnership of 104 and looks like comeback but they are short of win for 9 runs. Hussey made 72 runs which was highest score for them. After this win Mohali moves to top of the table on points while Team SRK is facing 4th defeat in a row.
