Punjab's fifth win in a row

Kings XI Punjab have scored their fifth win in a row in the seventh edition of IPL. In their fifth game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab struggled bit but captain Bailey pulled up and comfortably made his team reach the victory. Having won the toss, Punjab chose to field first. Kings bowler Sandeep Sharma was the strike of the bowlers who wrapped up the RCB top order in the first five overs. Sandeep picked up Gayle, Parthiv Patel and Virat Kohli's wicket which changed the entire game. At this Yuvraj and de Villiers batted for sometime but Punjab struck at regular intervals and the scoreboard of RCB moved at snail pace. In the end RCB posted only 124 runs on the board for the loss of eight wickets.

Chasing small target was never easy and Punjab too lost wickets at regular intervals with no certain partnership. Maxwell failed for the second time in a row however Punjab captain Bailey along with allrounder Rishi Dhawan chased the total comfortably.

Score details: RCB: 124/8, Yuvraj 35, Gayle 20, Sandeep Sharma 3/15, M Johnson 2/19

Kings XI Punjab: 125/5, Sehwag 32, Miller 26, R Dhawan 23, Chahal 2/23
