                                Royal Challengers fans should be very thankful to Kings XI Punjab. Because when RCB losing continuously in this season. Punjab only presented first win for them. It give some hope and result in RCB's three wins before this match. So they eagerly waited to face KXIP in their home for one more win. And what they expected happened in yesterday's match. Once again KXIP  lost to RCB in this season. Now Kings XI put them in critical situation in qualifying playoffs. The only difference in both teams were at batting. Lets see how KXIP lost the match eventhough they got a good start from Gayle and Rahul.

                                          RCB skipper Virat Kohli and Parthiv Patel started the innings for their team. It was not a bad start as well as not the good one also. Kohli departed with 13 runs only at the end of 4th over by Mohammed Shami. Then Parthiv played with more aggressive at Rajpoot over. Finally he was taken by Murugan Ashwin when he was 43 runs from 24 balls. In form Moen Ali was bowled beautifully by skipper R Ashwin and Akshadeep nath left quickly. Then Stoinis and ABd played slowly and preventing team from not losing wickets. Because of that RCB runrate went down. Once again M & R Ashwin duo bowled well and controlled both dangerous players. But in last 5 overs ABd played his 360 innings. He spare both Shami and Rajpoot at death overs. Because of that score doubled when compared to the projected one. Finally RCB finished with 202 runs, ABD scored 82 runs from 44 balls with 3 fours and 7 sixes. Stoinis was not out with 46 runs from 34 balls.

                                     Mohammed Shami, Rajpoot and Viljoen went expensive 53-1, 46, 51-1 runs in this match. All together combine and gave 150 runs. But their captain Ashwin gave only 15 runs from 4 overs with a wicket. Such a bad day for Shami before the world cup.

                                    Then Chris Gayle and KL Rahul started the chase for KXIP. From first over they started in attacking bowlers. Once again Umesh shines and got Gayle for 23 runs from 10 balls. Then Mayank and KL Rahul played  a wonderful innings. Because of both Kings XI scored 100 runs in 10th over itself. At that time the chase is possible for KXIP. But both lost their wickets in the gap of 2 overs. Mayank gone for 35runs and Rahul gone for 42 runs from 27 balls. Even Miller and Nicholas Pooran tried from 11th over till 18th over. KXIP need 27 runs at the last over of the match.  They both gone at the end of 19th over. R Ashwin faced the first ball of the 20th over and smashed a six. In next ball also he tried to hit six. But it was caught by Virat Kohli just before the boundary line. In that ball itself KXIP lost the match. Finally they managed to score only 185 runs.

                                       KXIP lost match because of their mistake only. Except ABd no other RCB players not looking with full potential yesterday. But KXIP failed to use this. Nicholas Pooran did a bad wicket keeping in this match. RCB's middle 10overs weree not good but scored for that too in last 5 overs. On the other hand KXIP first 10 overs was too good which is sufficient to chase the target. But last 5 overs knock was not sufficient to convert the score as a winning score. KXIP were 10 points from 11 matches now. They have to win all remaining 3 matches.
