Kings XI spoil RCB's party in 10-over a side IPL match

Kings XI spoil RCB

Kings XI Punjab made tougher for Royal Challengers Bangalore to reach the Indian Premier League play-offs as they outsmarted the visitors by 22 runs in a match that was reduced to 10 overs a side due to rain .Wriddhiman Saha's entertaining knock (31 runs off 12 balls) at the top of the order helped Kings XI post 106 for six against Royal Challengers.The star studded batting line-up of Royal Challengers failed to deliver in the short chase as they could only reach 84 for six in 10 overs.Royal Challengers, however, are still very much in contention for a play-off berth, having 13 points from 12 games with two games remaining. Kings XI Punjab, already out of the competition, won only their third game of the season.The away team 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.
