Last time when these two teams played against each other at that time Kings XI Punjab had an easy victory.And know it was very important for the Bangalore Royals to win this match or their chances to reach the finals would almost be finished.Bangalore Royals captain Dravid wont the toss and chose to bat first.One thing that was not a good point for the Bangalore Royal was their openers were changed many times in this tournament.So as usual they lost their first wicket in just the first ball of the third over and this time Misba-ul-Haq was send to bat at number three at something what I think Dravid should have done early in this tournament.Misbah scored 21 of just 8 balls with a six and three boundaries and he was looking good but he unluckily got hit wicket.Kohli also scored 21 but he got out bowled to the bowl of P.Chawla.And just because of these fall of wickets their run rate fall down.At at the end of their 20 overs they were just able to score 143 with the loss of 8wickets and Boucher scoring 39 of 31 with one six.This was again a not simple target to defend and they required early wickets but Rahul Dravid again showed his defensive approach and did not gave new ball to Dale Steyn.So the first wicket to fall for the Kings XI Punjab was of Hopes who was looking very dangerour and got out for 27 of 19 with 3 sixes when the score was 42 with in just 6.2 over.And it was again Marsh who again scored more then fifty and made sure that his team wins another game.He scored 74 not out of just 51 balls with 2sixes and 9 fours and playing his first match in IPL Pomersbach scored 34 not out.They won the match by 9 wickets in the 16th over.Marsh also got the man of the match.
