Indian Premier League (India)

Deccan Chargers vs Kings XI Punjab, T20

That is another clinical win for the Kings. It was the debutant Marsh who got going tonight and made sure that there are no hiccups in this run chase. Spare a thought for the fine knock that Rohit Sharma played in the first innings. He was the lone warrior for the Chargers and single handedly took them to a total which was at least challenging. But Marsh played a stunner on debut and he was well supported by Jayawardene, who played a fine cameo. With this win, Punjab are in 4th place in the points table. We have a great match tomorrow between Chennai and Delhi, the two teams who have looked the best in this league so far. Do join us for the action from that match. Till then it is good bye and good night from all of us. Adios...

Shaun Marsh is the Man of the Match for his splendid knock of 84 off 62 balls which sealed the match for Kings XI without many problems
