PCA will host its first match today in IPL 2012 when Kings XI Punjab will take on Pune Warriors in the 14th match of DLF IPL. Kings XI Punjab are desperate to win today as they have lost both of their matches played so far. Though the openers of Punjab, Gilchrist and Valthaty are giving decent start to them but the middle order is not able to capitalize and are falling short of target.

Today’s Match Details – Pune Warriors vs Kings XI Punjab
Match -8th DLF IPL T20, IPL5 2012
Date – April 8, 2012
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune
Toss – Pune Warriors have elected to bat first
Result – Pune Warriors won by 22 runs

Today in the 8th match of DLF IPL Season 5, Pune Warriors won the toss and elected to bat first. They got to a good start with captain Ganguly and J Ryder putting on 28 runs at 7 runs per over for the first wicket partnership. Pune Warriors lost both openers in the same over and it restricted their run rate. A partnership was required and thats exactly what M Samuels and R Uthappa provided. The duo took on to Kings XI bowlers and played sensible cricket to take the score past 100. In the 15th over M Samuels got out after scoring 46 runs off 39 balls which included 4 fours and 2 sixes, soon followed by C Ferguson and Robin Uthappa (40 runs off 33 balls which included 2 fours and 2 sixes). This sudden fall of wickets did not deter Smith who along with Pandey scored 27 runs in the 19th over and helped the team to cross the 150 run mark. Smith’s (25 off 12 balls which included 3 sixes) and MK Pandey’s cameo of 12 runs off 3 balls ( 1×4 1×6) helped Pune post a healthy total of 166/6 in 20 overs.

Chasing 167 to win the match, Kings XI lost both openers P Valthaty and A Gilchrist when team score was just 9. Reeling at 9/2 in 3.2 overs, the middle order had a daunting task in hand, the required rate was jumping with each passing over and at the end of 10 overs, KXIP were 53/3 and still needed another 114 to win. All hopes were on David Hussey but he got out after scoring just 18 and with his wicket, it was almost all over for the Kings XI Punjab. P Chawla (16 runs 8 balls 2×4 1×6) and Bipul Sharma played some good shots but it was too little too late for KXIP as they needed 45 runs of last 2 overs. Finally they could manage just 144/8 in 20 overs and hence lost the match by 22 runs.

Today’s IPL Match – Match 3rd DLF IPL Mumbai Indians vs Pune Warriors
Venue – Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Date – April 6, 2012|16:00 IST (10:30 GMT)
Toss – Mumbai Indians elected to field first.
Result -Pune Warriors won by 29 runs

Chasing 130 to win, MI lost the last match’s hero Levi for a duck on the second ball of the innings. It triggered the fall of wickets as Mumbai lost A Rayudu and Rohit Sharma also in quick succession and were reeling at 5/3 in 2 overs. J Franklin and D Karthik then played cautiously and took the score to 54 before Karthik got out. Soon after his wicket, S Yadav also got out for a duck which brought Pollard on the crease. MI needed 82 runs in last 10 overs but it proved too much for them and they lost the match by 29 runs, thanks to the superb bowling by Pune Warriors.

In the third match of DLF IPL 2012, Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to field first. Ganguly’s team Pune Warriors got a big jolt in the very first over as M Pandey got out for a duck. Soon Ganguly also got out after scoring just 3 runs and PW were 15/2 in 3.4 overs. W Parnell was the next to get out after scoring just 11 runs but on the other end, R Uthappa played superbly and kept holding on to his end. He got into small yet useful partnerships with C Ferguson and S Smith before getting out after scoring 36 runs off 33 balls. S Smith (39 runs off 32 balls) then carried on and helped his team past 100 run mark. But wickets kept falling at regular intervals and thus Pune could manage just 129/9 runs in 20 overs.
