The emphatic victory made it four-wins-out-of-four for the Punjab side and they now travel to Hyderabad to play either Chennai Super Kings or Lahore Lions in the last-four stage.
Making light work of a 136-run target, Kings XI were home and dry with nearly two overs to spare. Punjab openers Manan Vohra and Virender Sehwag followed talismanic Glenn Maxwell all hit numerically similar 23-run knocks during the chase.
The anchor of the innings, though, was wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha (42 not out off 35b; 4x4, 1x6), who made sure that Kings XI reach the victory mark without further hiccups.
Earlier, the Cobras frittered away a great start by openers Hashim Amla and Richard Levi, who put on 60 runs off just six overs. At one point of time, the South African team was well on course for the 200-run mark.
But, Kings XI leg-spinner Karanveer Singh lured Amla (40 off 22b; 7x4, 1x6) into a false shot, and David Miller held on to an easy catch at long on.
Brief scores:
Cape Cobras 135 in 18.3 ovs (Levi 42, Amla 40; Anureet 3/12, Akshar Patel 3/15) lost to Kings XI Punjab 139/3 in 18.1 ovs (Saha 42 n.o., Vohra 23)
Hobart are first non-IPL team in last four stage
Hobart Hurricanes may well end up as the only non-IPL team in the semifinals. They joined Kings XI Punjab in the penultimate round from Group B, when they cantered to a six-wicket win over Barbados Tridents in a low-scoring match.
The Tridents batting failed to rise to the occasion as they seemed to be still smarting from the Super Over defeat against Cape Cobras on Friday. They barely managed 113, after being asked to bat first.
Hurricanes too found the going tough as they lost a few early wickets. At 71/4 in 13 overs, it looked like a close affair. But Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik, so used to playing on such wickets, kept one end up and in company of Jonathan Wells, took the team to victory with 10 balls to spare.
Brief Scores:
Barbados Tridents 113 in 19.4 ovs (Carter 42; Doherty 4/27, Hilfenhaus 2/14, Bollinger 2/27) lost to Hobart Hurricanes 117/4 in 18.2 ovs (Malik 39 n.o., Wells 23 n.o.)
