Marsh scored consecutive boundaries off Pathan who offered him some width off the last two deliveries. Nine from the first over. ==================================================================================== Kings XI Punjab would hit the field high on confidence after their convincing victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in their previous match. Their skipper played a captain’s knock and with Azhar Mahmood’s all-round show, they defeated RCB on their home ground. The Kings XI Punjab team management would still believe that their team can make it to the play-offs, even though it depends a lot on several other results. Delhi Daredevils on the other hand are out of the tournament and they are likely to end up at the bottom of the points table. From Mahela to Sehwag, from Pathan to Morkel, none of these players have managed to perform on a consistent basis. They should now try and win their remaining matches and start working for the next year.
