Full commentary
Time for the presentation...
Miller: It all clicked tonight. We got a good start from the openers and before that the bowlers did really well. Vijay and Voihra have done really well in the past too and credit to them, and Maxi did a great job in the end. Our batting in the middle overs…we still need to think about that and work on it a bit.
Man of the Match Manan Vohra: I was batting well earlier but a big knock was missing. I've been playing with Murali bhai since last year now so we have a good tuning. Today I played a poor shot and would like to make 70-80.
That's all we have from this game, RCB and Daredevils are getting ready for the second match in Bangalore. Enjoy that one and goodbye from here!
7.20pm That's the first win for Kings XI Punjab and they've finally got some points. Their bowlers did all the hard work in the first innings and the openers did very well too, before M Ashwin brought Pune back into the game. Marsh and Miller got out for low scores but Maxi was still there and he finished things up with a 14-ball 32 to take his team home with eight balls to spare. Pune Supergiants will have a lot of questions to answer - their non-overseas batsmen's performance, their middle-overs push that never came and people will, obviously, always question how Dhoni handled his bowlers, whether it's justified or not.
RD: "I get the feeling MS is not fully happy with his current squad of players. Seems to have lost trust in R Ashwin at the World T20 and doesn't seem to confident in his other bowlers either.."
ichbinCamelCase: "People saying Dhoni has lost trust in Ashwin, need to remember the first two overs he bowled him in the first 6 and he did well. Again he called him back during the crunch at 18th over. This shows his confidence in Ashwin."
VCKsquare: "Watta Match...KXIP falls suddenly..And Maxi backs up the momentum immediately..In Cricket, anything can happen yaar.."
