On the other hand, Australian Shaun Marsh has done wonders for his side. And he continued with his good form, batting in top gear. He would hit a four, and when Dravid tried to plug the gap in the field, Marsh would pierce through another. He brought up yet another match-winning knock of 74 not out for himself, and with support from fellow Aussie Luke Pomersbach, ensured the Punjab win with one eye on the scoreboard and another on the net run rate. Marsh was named Man of the Match and is now the leading scorer for Kings XI Punjab, with 295 runs scored in the championship so far.

Earlier, the Punjab seamers were on song when Bangalore batted. S Sreesanth picked up three wickets while Irfan Pathan and VRV Singh suffocated the rival batting. Leg-spinner Piyush Chawla hacked through the middle order and one was left wondering what would be next for Mallya and Dravid.
