MOHALI, May 14: Kings XI Punjab made life tougher for Royal Challengers Bangalore to reach the IPL 8 play-offs as they outsmarted the visitors by 22 runs in a match that was reduced to 10 overs a side due to rain at Mohali on Wednesday.
Wriddhiman Saha's entertaining knock of 31 runs off 12 balls at the top of the order helped KXIP post 106 for six against RCB. The star studded batting line-up of RCB failed to deliver in the short chase as they could only reach 84 for six in 10 overs.
RCB however, are still very much in contention for a play-off berth, having 13 points from 12 games with two games remaining. KXIP, are already out of the competition, having won only their third game of the season. RCB were 33 for one by the first three overs of the chase with skipper Kohli (19 off 9) falling to Anureet Singh after dispatching the medium pacer for two fours and a straight six over long-on.
