Punjab lose Gilchrist in chase of 100

NEW DELHI: Pune Warriors India skipper Angelo Mathews struck gave Kings XI Punjab first blow by dismissing Adam Gilchrist in the 6th match of the IPL 6 at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium in Pune.

Scorecard

Punjab got off to a brisk start as Gilchrist and Mandeep Singh added 21 in 2.2 overs. The visitors raced to fifty in the fifth over with a flurry of boundaries by Manan Vohra and Singh.

Earlier, Kings XI Punjab bowlers fired in unison to help their team restrict Pune Warriors India to 99/9. Abhishek Nayar waged a lone battle as he remained unbeaten on 25 to take Pune to near 100-run mark.

Pune Warriors were never in a match as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Pune's decision to bat first backfired badly as half of their side was already sent back to the pavilion at the score of 38 in 10 overs.

Nothing was going in Pune's way when Ross Taylor heaved it towards fine leg where Gurkeerat Singh dived to his right and took the blinder with one hand to leave the hosts tottering at 53/6 in 13.3 overs.

Warriors lost their third wicket in the form of Marlon Samuels, who got run out by Piyush Chawla. In the next over, Chawla gave Punjab another success by removing Robin Uthappa.

Kings XI Punjab pacers Praveen Kumar and Azhar Mahmood struck to give Pune Warriors early jolts. Praveen struck in the first of the innings to give Punjab first breakthrough by dismissing Pandey for nought.

Mahmood removed Tirumalasetti Suman to leave Pune struggling at 21/2 in five overs after their skipper Angelo Mathews opted to bat in their second match of the tournament.

Pune dealt a big blow as Yuvraj Singh is out with back strain and T Suman replaced him.

Pune Warriors would be hoping for a better batting performance after suffering a disappointing 22-run loss in a low scoring game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Pune's bowling attack looked impressive with a three-pronged pace attack comprising Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashok Dinda and skipper Angelo Matthews.

On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab will look to start their campaign on a winning note.

Kings XI Punjab have never won their opening game in the previous five editions of the IPL and the Adam Gilchrist-led side would be keen to change it this year.

Teams:

Pune Warriors: Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Marlon Samuels, Tirumalasetti Suman, Ross Taylor, Abhishek Nayar, Angelo Mathews, Mitchell Marsh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Ashok Dinda

Kings XI Punjab: Adam Gilchrist, Mandeep Singh, David Hussey, Azhar Mahmood, Gurkeerat Singh, Manan Vohra, Rajagopal Sathish, Piyush Chawla, Parvinder Awana, Praveen Kumar, Ryan Harris
