Kings XI Punjab show composure to clinch match in first super over of IPL 2015
Kings XI Punjab batted first in the super over and scored 15 runs courtesy of some brilliant batting by in-form David Miller who smashed 3 fours off Chris Morris' bowling.
Mitchell Johnson was entrusted with the duty of bowling in the nail-biting run chase of the super over.
He picked up a wicket with his very first delivery and wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha showed great calmness in the fourth ball to dismiss James Faulkner by virtue of a run-out.
David Miller(54 off 30) and Wriddhiman Saha(19 off 8) fired all guns towards the end of their batting innings to score 59 runs in the last 25 balls of the run-chase.
The run-chase was started off perfectly by Shaun Marsh whose knock of 65 runs included 3 sixes and 5 fours.
Earlier in the match, Rahane(74) smashed 2 sixes and 6 fours during his knock whereas Watson(45) hit 2 sixes and 5 fours in his innings.
Deepak Hooda(19) and Karun Nair(25) hit 3 sixes combined as each middle order batsman chipped in with useful cameos which saw the scoreboard move on at a fast rate.
Anureet Singh, Axar Patel, Shivam Sharma and Sandeep Sharma picked up a wicket each for the Kings XI Punjab.
