Kings XI Punjab First Win of IPL-9
Man of the Match Manan Vohra (L) and Murali Vijay's (R) 97-run partnership is the best opening stand in the ninth edition of Indian Premier League 2016
Good performance by Kings XI Punjab today. They bowled well and then they batted well too. First win this season for KXIP. Their bowlers set the match for them before openers played well to provide a strong platform for the chase. There was a little hiccup when Murugan Ashwin took three quick wickets but Glenn Maxwell played a significant cameo to take Punjab past the target. Second successive loss for Rising Pune Supergiants.

Pushed by Faf du Plessis' half-century, Rising Pune Supergiants reached a fighting total but not before Mohit Sharma bowled a brilliant last over, restricting the visitors to only 152/7. In reply, half-centuries from Murali Vijay and Manan Vohra and a superb cameo at the end from Glenn Maxwell handed Kings XI Punjab their first win in the ninth edition of the Indian Premier League by six wickets
