Category: IPL,IPL 2012 News,IPL Deccan Chargers,IPL Kings XI Punjab,IPL Match ResultsKings XI Punjab rode on a smashing half-century by Mandeep Singh and a superlative performance by their bowers to notch up a comfortable 25-run victory over Deccan Chargers in a lop-sided Indian Premier League match on Tuesday.

For Punjab, Praveen Kumar, Parvinder Awana and David Hussey took two wickets each to emerge as the peak of the bowlers. They were supported well by Azhar Mahmood (0/31) and Piyush Chawla (1/33).
The chargers had a tottering start as they lost inform opener Shikhar Dhawan (8) and first down Parthiv Patel (17) cheaply to slip to 31 for two in the first five overs.
In the seventh over, Harris picked up a six off the first ball by Chawla and Cameron White played an inside-out shot in the last delivery to end the over with a boundary.
In the next over, Harris picked up a four off Ramesh Powar at the square leg area before whacking one at the mid-wicket area for another boundary.
Punjab then tightened things up with seamers Awana and Mahmood giving away just four and two runs in the next two over respectively.

IPL 2012 Preview: Kings XI Punjab vs Deccan Chargers, 08 May 2012
Category: IPL,IPL Deccan Chargers,IPL Kings XI PunjabVirtually out of the reckoning for a place in the plays offs, a demoralised Deccan Chargers would look to salvage some pride when they take on Kings XI Punjab in an Indian Premier League match here on Tuesday.
Having won just two out of the 11 matches they played so far in the tournament, Deccan is presently languishing at the bottom of the team standings with just five points.
Though Deccan batsmen put up an impressive show against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, the lacklustre performance of their bowlers and AB de Villiers superlative batting poured cold water on the Hyderabad outfit’s hope of staging a comeback.
After posting a more-than-challenging 181 for two on the board, Deccan bowlers failed to rise to the occasion as de Villiers scored a whirlwind 47 not out off just 17 balls to to guide RCB to the five-wicket win with seven balls to spare.
There would be added pressure on Deccan on Tuesday as they will play in Hyderabad for the first match in this tournament.
Deccan’s batting, off late, has fired with big-hitting Cameron White, who has scored three half centuries in the last five games, Shikhar Dhawan, captain Kumar Sangakkara and Daniel Harris all finding themselves among runs.
But what Deccan lacks is firepower in its bowling department.
Barring Dale Steyn, the Hyderabad team does not have quality bowlers in their ranks. Their domestic pacers in Veer Pratap Singh, A Ashish Reddy and Anand Rajan have also failed to provide the South African speedster ample support from the other end.
The spin department also lacks sting with leg-spinner Amit Mishra resembling a pale shadow of himself.
Kings XI, on the other hand, is still in with a chance of making it to the knockout stages having garnered 10 points from 11 games.
The Punjab side would make a determined bid to win against a struggling Deccan tomorrow to improve its position in the points table.
After consecutive wins over defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kings XI suffered a 43-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in their last game.
de Villiers helps Bangalore storm to victory over Deccan Chargers: IPL 2012
Category: IPL,IPL Deccan Chargers,IPL Match Results,IPL Royal Challengers BangaloreAB de Villiers smashed an unbeaten 47 off 17 balls to propel Royal Challengers Bangalore to a sensational five-wicket victory over Deccan Chargers in IPL 5 match.
Jamaluddin Syed Mohammad hit the winning four as Royal Challengers chased down 182-run target in 18.5 overs.
De Villiers hammered five fours and three sixes in his scintillating knock. The 18th over of the innings proved to be the turning point of the match as De Villers smacked two fours and two sixes off Dale Steyn to ensure Bangalore’s much-needed win.
Royal Challengers Bangalore lost three wickets in quick succession against Deccan Chargers in their Indian Premier League clash on Sunday.
Leg-spinner Amit Mishra struck twice in the fourteenth over to rock the Bangalore chase. Mishra dismissed Asad Pathan (4) and Virat Kohli (9) to reduce RCB to 106/3 in 13.5 overs.
Bangalore lost Chris Gayle (26) after he put on 91-run opening stand with Tillakaratne Dilshan to lead the run chase.
