Today in the 16th match of DLF IPL 2012, Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat first. F du Plessis and M Vijay opened the inning for CSK and the duo scored 43 runs for the first wicket partnership. M Vijay scored just 8 runs out of it and got out but it was F du Plessis who did the bulk scoring. He then along with Raina took the team score past 50 but got out after scoring 42 off 33 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes. CSK were comfortably placed at 67/2 in 9.1 overs. Raina and captain Dhoni then played cautiously and took the team score to 86 when Raina got out. R Jadeja was the next to come in and he justified his big auction money. The star batsmen for CSK hammered Pune bowler and provided the much needed momentum to the scoring rate. It was his brilliant knock of 44 off 26 balls(4×4,2×6) which helped CSK post a total of 155/5 in 20 overs.

Pune needed 156 to create yet another upset in the league and they got off to a flying start R Uthappa and J Ryder adding 31 in just 3 overs for the first wicket partnership. Even after R Uthappa was run out by Bravo, J Ryder and S Ganguly maintained a healthy run rate and took the team score past 50 in the 6th over. Pune needed 100 to win from 14 overs and it looked like the duo is completely set to take their team to an emphatic win but a superb run out by Jadeja got the wicket of Ganguly and the run chase lost some momentum. With J Ryder and M Samuels on crease, the match was poised for a superb finish as Pune needed 71 to win from last 8 overs. The wicket of M Samuels brought S Smith on crease and he along with J Ryder took the team score past 100. J Ryder completed his well deserved 50 and scored runs with ease. He along with Smith smashed CSK bowlers to all corners of the ground and it was the brilliant innings of 73 in 56 balls by Ryder and 44 off 22 balls by Smith which took Pune Warriors to a superb 7 wicket victory.

Match -14th DLF IPL T20, IPL5 2012
Date – April 12, 2012
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh

Result – Kings XI Punjab won by 7 wickets

Pune tasted their first defeat in IPL 2012 as S Marsh and D Mascarenhas played exceptional cricket to give the much needed victory to Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2012.

Earlier in the 14th match of DLF IPL 2012, Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to field first. The decision proved fruitful to KXIP as they got the first breakthrough when J Ryder was run out by Hussey. At 13/1 in 2.2 overs, Pune needed a partnership but superb bowling by D Mascarenhas never allowed any Pune batsmen to settle. He took 5 wickets and gave away just 25 runs in 4 overs. M Manhas was the top scorer for Pune with 31 runs but Pune batsmen never ever got into any good partnership and were eventually bowled out for 115 in 19 overs.

Chasing 116 to win and open the account in points tally, Kings XI Punjab lost P Valthaty on the very first ball of the innings but A Gilchrist and S Marsh then played sensible cricket and took the score to 50 before Gilchrist got out. The duo added 50 runs for the second wicket partnership and laid a solid platform for the coming batsmen. The fall of Gilchrist lowered the run rate but the required rate was still manageable. M Singh got out after scoring jut 10 runs leaving KXIP at 70/3 in 11.4 overs. 46 more runs were needed in 50 balls and it looked like an easy victory for KXIP. Shaun Marsh played brilliant cricket and stood firm on one end. His brilliant 64 off 54 balls helped KXIP register their first win and that too convincingly by 7 wickets.
