Man of the match – Glenn Maxwell

The scintillating batting display continues by Glen Maxwell and so does the winning streak of Kings XI Punjab. Kings XI Punjab who were invited to bat first by Sunrisers got off to a flying start with both openers, Sehwag and Pujara adding on 51 runs in 6.4 overs before Sehwag got out (30 off 22 balls 2×4, 3×6). This fall of wicket bought the leading run scorer so far in IPL, Maxwell to the crease and crackers started to burst all over. Right from the first ball he attacked each and every Sunriser bowler and scored a brilliant 95 off 43 balls (5×4, 9×6) and helped Kings XI Punjab post a decent total of 193/6 in 20 overs.

Chasing 194 needed a solid start but captain Shikar Dhawan got out in the second over leaving the team at 11/1 in 1.2 overs. Soon a twin blow by Balaji in the 5th over put Sunrisers in a dock as he got the priced wickets of Aaron Finch and David Warner. Sunrisers Hyderabad were struggling at 33/3 in 4.5 overs and needed some one to play till the end. But the increasing run rate pressurized the batsmen to play wrong shots and wickets started falling one after the another. With 5 key wickets down at the score of 74 in the 11th over, it looked all over for Sunrisers. Lokesh Rahul scored a run a ball 27 but it was too little too late and eventually Sunrisers were bundled out for 121 and thus lost the match by 72 runs. It was the third successive win for Kings XI Punjab in as many matches and thus they moved to the top of Points table.

Match – 7th IPL 2014 – Rajasthan Royals vs Kings XI Punjab
Date – Sun Apr 20
Time – 18:30 local | 14:30 GMT
Venue – Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium, Sharjah
Toss – Kings XI Punjab elected to field
Result – Kings XI Punjab won by 7 wickets

A superb innings of 89 in 45 balls (8×4,6×6) by Glenn Maxwell along with the firecrackers in the final overs by David Miller (51 off 19 balls, 0x4, 6×6) helped Kings XI Punjab achieve yet another high score and register a comfortable win chasing 192. Kings XI Punjab got off to a poor start with Virender Sehwag getting out in the second over soon followed by Wriddhiman Saha. Kings XI Punjab were struggling at 10/2 in 2.4 overs and again needed the million dollar baby Glenn Maxwell to deliver. He proved why he is the most expensive player as he scored a brilliant 45 balls 89 to bring Kings XI Punjab on track of a successful chase. Once Maxwell got out, the focus shifted on Miller and he along with Cheteshwar Pujara who played a real good anchor took the Royal bowlers and blunted all attacks. David Miller hit 6 sixes in his 19 ball 51 and made sure that the target of 193 was achieved 8 balls to spare.

Earlier Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to field first. The decision was widely criticized by cricket experts as the pitch was a perfect batting track. The decision seemed to backfire as Rajasthan Royals got off to a flying start with the team crossing 50 in the sixth over. Despite both the openers being back in pavilion, Royals launched an all out attack with Shane Watson(50 off 29 balls, 5×4, 3×6) and Sanju Samson(52 off 34 balls, 3×4, 4×6) hitting boundaries and sixes at will. The duo added 74 in 7 overs and laid a solid platform for a huge total. A final onslaught by Steven Smith helped Rajasthan Royals post a total of 191/5 in 20 overs.
