IPL 4, 23rd match: Kings XI Punjab v Rajasthan Royals, Apr 21, 2011 match Review + Result + Scorecard

Shane Warne, coming off a series of excellent spells. He wasn't at his best today, though, as Gilchrist thumped him for a six and a four through square leg. At the end of four overs, Punjab were going at the other-worldly run-rate of 16.75.
Shane Watson, as he has so often done in recent times, came on and produced a crucial wicket, as Gilchrist drove straight to mid-on. Sanity prevailed for a few minutes as Marsh found his bearings, before he showed that there were non-violent ways to score runs as well. He checked in with a couple of pleasing drives either side of extra-cover, before chipping Warne through midwicket.

While Marsh was all finesse, Valthaty kept throwing visceral punches in all directions. Rajasthan continued to be generous, dropping him twice in the outfield off successive balls. Valthaty used the luck to wrest the orange cap back from Sachin Tendulkar, and slammed a Warne long-hop over the leg side, before someone finally held on to one of his mis-hits.

Rajasthan's medium-pacers fed him with several full and wide deliveries, while the spinners kept dropping short. Warne was the worst offender, and his lengths were short enough to force Marsh to start playing some uncultured shots. The 14th over yielded three sixes in four balls, as Punjab set their sights on 200. The projection was revised upwards after the next over, in which Dinesh Karthik looted three successive fours off Trivedi.The last five overs yielded only 26 for 5, but the damage had already been done.


Chasing the biggest target of IPL 2011, Rajasthan strangely chose to not open with Watson. Rahul Dravid stroked a couple of elegant boundaries before Ryan Harris yorked him. Swapnil Asnodkar came out swinging wildly without connecting with much, and Praveen Kumar nailed him with a full delivery in the third over. Watson tried to ignite the chase with four boundaries off seven balls, but Praveen got him to top-edge a pull in the seventh over.

Finally Kings XI Punjab won by 48 runs..
