Category: IPL,IPL Deccan Chargers,IPL Kings XI Punjab,IPL Match ResultsMay 21st, 2011 : Today was a match between Kings XI Punjab vs Deccan Chargers in the IPL Cricket Season 4 2011. This was the 67th match of the league. The match was played at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. Team Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to field first. The Kings XI’s valiant late charge for a play-off spot came to an end on Saturday when they suffered a 82-run defeat at the hands of the Deccan Chargers.
The Punjab team needed to win all of their last five matches to have a chance of making the play-offs, and proceeded to win four games on the trot. However, they came unstuck against a Deccan team playing for nothing but pride.
The match was conceded in the first half, when Adam Gilchrist chose to field and was let down by his butter-fingered fielders who spilled five chances during Deccan Chargers’ season-high 198 for two.
Match Notes
Toss - Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to field first
Result - Deccan Chargers beat Kings XI Punjab by 82 runs
Shikhar Dhawan, with an unbeaten 95, and Dwaraka Ravi Teja, who live a charmed live during his 41-ball 60, were the architects of that big total and in reply KXIP faded with a whimper. DC’s hat-trick of wins at the end of a disappointing season was polished with Amit Mishra seizing a hat-trick in the 16th over.
In response the home side were in trouble early, losing Paul Valthaty (5) in the second over. Shaun Marsh (13) bludgeoned three fours before departing an over after Valthaty.
The early setbacks meant that any victory charge would require a monumental effort from Gilchrist and for a time it appeared that the Australian – with some assistance from Dinesh Karthik – may just have a chance.
However, when Gilchrist departed for a well played 51, hammering a full delivery from Daniel Christian straight to Cameron White at extra cover the game seemed all but over. Karthik’s dismissal two balls later confirmed the result.
With the run rate rapidly careering out of control, the incoming batsmen were forced to seek maximums from the outset. The necessary tactic proved deadly with wickets tumbling with great regularity.
Credit must go to the Chargers who fielded well and bowled with great discipline. Amit Mishra (four for nine) was particularly impressive, and the spinner was rewarded for his efforts with a hat-trick. First Ryan McLaren was well caught in the deep by Christian, then Mandeep Singh was stumped as he darted out of his crease. The deed was sealed when Ryan Harris cut straight to second slip.
Earlier, Shikhar Dhawan just missed out on a century and Dwa ka Ravi Teja was dropped in the first over by Paul Valthaty, then again on 24 by Piyush Chawla before Ryan Harris put him down twice more.
The opening batsman took full advantage of his fortune, moving to 60 from 41 balls before he was finally punched by Abhishek Nayar off the bowling of Valthaty.
With his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan also in good form, Deccan’s opening partnership was worth 131 from 13.2 overs.
Although JP Duminy managed just 12 after being promoted to number three in the order, Dhawan continued his assault on the Punjab bowlers, hammering 14 fours and one six to finish unbeaten on 95 from 57 balls.
A century would have been no more than he deserved, and could have been achieved had Cameron White (15 not out) managed to give his partner the strike for more than one delivery in the final over.

Kings XI Punjab vs Deccan Chargers – IPL 4 – 67th Match
Category: IPL,IPL Deccan Chargers,IPL Kings XI PunjabMay 21, 2011 : From being the weakest team of the tournament to a scenario where they could well find themselves playing play-offs, Punjab have been the team that has given the fans lot to cheer with blockbuster batting displays, prime reason for their renaissance. Not many had given them chance of where Priety Zinta owned team stand today with one group match still to play. They were certainly thin on bowling resources, though, batting had many of it.
True to their reputation, most of heavyweights in the batting lineup scored big with Shaun Marsh and new batting sensation Paul Valthaty occupying first two slots in the ‘Orange Cup’ chart. Arguably the most sizzling innings of IPL-4 came from their skipper Adam Gilchrist who tore apart Bangalore to set up a huge total and take them at a striking distance from making it to the play-offs.
Match Details
Match – IPL 2011 67th Match
Date – May 21st,2011 (Saturday)
Time – 10:30 GMT (16:00 IST)
Venue – Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala
Gilly’s blistering century was a remainder that age is just a number and that runs, that too with some authority, can be made even at the age of 42 years.Of late bowling has also come good with out of form Piyush Chawla among the wickets by getting his leg spinners to land on right spot and foxing batsmen with his well disguised googly.
Though, a play-off spot isn’t entirely in their hands as they will have to wait for the results of the games featuring Kolkata and Mumbai as three of them battle for two vacant slots with Chennai and Bangalore already through. Gilchrist’s side lost five marches in the middle stages of the tournament on a trot and that could well come to haunt them but either side of that unproductive period Punjab have been brilliant and breath of fresh air in the tournament. To give themselves the best chance of making it to the top four, Punjab will have to overcome a stiff challenge from Hyderabad which despite being out of the title race have been on a roll with back to back convincing wins against Mumbai and Pune. What gives Punjab advantage though is the fact that the encounter is going to be played at Dharamshala, the same venue where Gilly and company mauled Bangalore. The high altitude makes the cricket ball to travel big and long that suits the big hitters from the home side.
Without their first choice skipper Kumar Sangakkara, who will be rendering national duties in England, the visitors will be charged up to finish their unsuccessful campaign on a high. Hyderabad haven’t played to their potential and lying at eight position in the standing doesn’t justify to the talented pool of players they have. Arguably, having the most varied bowling attack in the tournament but that didn’t count for much as batsmen failed to deliver the goods at the crucial juncture. With nothing to lose kind of a scenario, Hyderabad might be tempted to blood some fresh faces. For now, focus will be more on Punjab and that they have chance to make it to the play-off are bound to be under pressure more than Hyderabad.

Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – IPL 4 – 63rd Match – Result
Category: IPL,IPL Kings XI Punjab,IPL Match Results,IPL Royal Challengers BangaloreMay 17, 2011 : Today was a match between Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL Cricket Season 4 2011. This was the 63 match of the league. The match was played at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. Team Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to Bat. Kings XI Punjab turned the tables and the Royal Challengers armada was scuttled tonight by another of those special innings that one would go miles to watch. Adam Gilchrist did same as Gayle did to them, only to be propped by Shaun Marsh’s package of aggression and solidity combined in one and helped Punjab romp home by 111 runs.
As they say, great players save their best when it matters most, and Adam Gilchrist just reiterated the same. For major part of IPL-4, he has been a passenger in the Punjab top order but today was the occasion for him to light up the picturesque Dharamshala. And, he did that in some style, in an innings that spanned 55 balls the Australian hammered 106 runs to take his team to a massive 232, the highest team total this year.
Match Notes
Toss – Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to Bat.
Result – Kings XI Punjab won by 111 runs.
In his support, Shaun Marsh played a pretty 49-ball 79 to wrest the Orange Cap from his teammate Paul Valthaty. Any chance of a Bangalore fightback evaporated as soon as Chris Gayle failed for the first time in seven matches.
Punjab now have a realistic chance of securing a top-four berth after four back to back victories. The huge victory margin of 111 runs has also improved the health of their net run rate that may well decide the eventual qualifiers in case teams finish on same points.
In the process, Bangalore’s seven match winning streak was snapped as the target proved to be a monumental task for their batting order on a track that offered prodigious swing for the pacers. At no point, did the visitors threaten the target as Piyush Chawla (4 for 17) and Ryan Harris had Bangalore batsmen on the backfoot all the time.
Harris dented Bangalore early removing Gayle and skipper Virat Kohli early while Chawla’s variations were too hot for middle order to handle with Mohammad Kaif removed by a beauty that bounced and turned sharply needing nifty work from Gilly behind the stumps. None of them picked Chawla’s googly as Bangalore slipped to one of their worst defeats this season. For the first time this year, Bangalore lost all of its ten wickets to emphasize Punjab’s total domination of the proceedings.
Ensconced at a high altitude, Dharamshala lived upto to its billing as a high scoring ground as ball travelled big and long when Australian duo of Gilchrisht and Marsh were at the crease. The pair put on record 206-highest in the IPL history for any wicket-to give their fans plenty to cheer about.
Bangalore bowlers, without seasoned pacer Zaheer Khan, started off well having home team pegged at 30 for Valthaty’s wicket after five overs. In fact, Gilly had only two runs off first nine balls he faced but that didn’t count for much as left hander found his hitting arc and form to blast his way to one of the great centuries in the format.
When Gilly smashed Johan Vanderwath for a four through covers to bring up his century, team owner Priety Zinta celebrated the moment with tears welling up in her eyes. Punjab skipper took a liking to Charles Langeveldt and S Aravind as Bangalore wilted under Gilly-Marsh assault to dish up some hittable stuff. He hit as many as nine maximums most of them through mid-wicket and eight hits to the fence in what can be dubbed as the most incredible from a man at 42.
Marsh, on other hand, was at his prettiest best pleasing to eyes as the left hander looted runs with all the grace in the world. He played second fiddle to his captain’s fireworks in the early stages of the partnership but ran amok to give Vanderwath the punishment of a lifetime. His third over had a split of 6,6,4,4,4,6 with last hit as clean as anything, the left hander presented full face to a good length ball for a straight six.
Before the match, all the superlatives were reserved for Gayle but the kind of innings Gilly put up in a crunch game, the Australian legend will have all of them.
