Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals

Maxwell & Miller chased down phenomenal target 


Lighting has struck twice. It was Glenn Maxwell and David Miller who showed the fireworks last night to get their team over the line. George Bailey was very disappointed with his bowlers conceded more than 190 runs in 20 Overs. Kings XI Punjab bowlers failed to turn up again. Both Maxwell and Miller smashed 140 runs off 64 balls comprising 12 big sixes and reverse-hit and caressed eight fours.

Kings XI Punjab start was not up to the mark. They lost two wickets in quick succession. But it was again Maximum Maxwell who build ed his innings his own way followed by some serious damaged done by Killer Miller. The innings was full of incredible hitting. Batting first Rajasthan Royal posted total of 191 runs which was comprehensive total on this pitch. Shane Watson once again displayed the fearless knock scoring 50 off 29 balls well supported by young emerging S Samson who played the mature innings scoring 52 off 34 balls. At the end of innings S Smith who played cameo and help RR to lift 191 runs. George Bailey was not complacent with his two departments i.e bowling & fielding. Mitchell Johnson, the leader of the attach, looked very dull again and their ground fielding was not on the expected lines dropped two valuable catches of Watson and Samson. 

Maxwell scored 89 off 45 balls launched 6 super six missiles which deposited in the stands. Maxwell dismissed at 89 runs, another century was missed. Rajasthan Royals were breathing again. They had little clue they were about to jump from the frying pan into the fire, the fire of Miller's 51 off 19. The turning point of game was when Kulkarni got the ball and David Miller grab the opportunity with both hands hitting impeccable 4 maximum in one over and turn the fortunes of Punjab.
