Shaun Marsh sizzled on his Indian Premier League debut and blasted an unbeaten 85 off 62 balls as Kings XI Punjab thumped Deccan Chargers by seven wickets with seven balls to spare to coast to their third win of the tournament.
The Deccan batsmen couldn't stand up to the expectation just scoring 164-8 in 20 overs.
VVS Laxman provided a good start scoring 48 of 34 balls. Rohit Sharma stood tall amid ruins and hammered an unbeaten 42 ball 76*. Rohit continued playing his shots but wickets kept tumbling at the other end.
Kings XI leggie Piyush Chawla once again impressed with a three-wicket haul, conceding 28 runs in his four overs. Irfan Pathan picked up 2/30 in 4 overs.
The Punjabis began their chase on a positive note with Marsh imposing himself on the Deccan bowlers. He scored 85* of 62 balls at a brisk rate just what was the demand of the situation.
Mahela Jayawardene scored 45* of 23 balls sailing the team to victory.
Shaun Marsh was the Man Of the Match.
