MOHALI: This was one tall-scoring no-contest that nobody seemed to mind. The crowd loved the barrage of big hits, Kings XI Punjab was pleased to post its highest tally in the DLF-Indian Premier League while a seriously-depleted Rajasthan Royals did not think too much of the 41-run defeat. Centurion Shaun Marsh, fellow opener James Hopes and skipper Yuvraj Singh happily indulged in some huge hitting to raise the team’s score to 221 for three against a rival that happily experimented with everything — a new captain (Shane Watson), a toothless attack and an inexplicable batting order. When Royals chased, it opened with Mohammad Kaif and Neeraj Patel, sent in IPL debutant and former Pakistan captain Younis Khan while holding back Yusuf Pathan. This reflected the approach of the visitor and it did not come as a surprise when the required run-rate kept mounting from the first over itself. With the margin of victory being the only point of interest in the match, Neeraj helped himself to a well-made 57. The scores: Kings XI Punjab: 221 for three in 20 overs. Rajasthan Royals: M. Kaif b Sreesanth 1, N. Patel b Chawla 57, Younis b 1. Pathan 3, S. Watson c I. Pathan b Chawla 22, Yusuf c Marsh b Hopes 39, K. Akmal c Mota b Chawla 24, Mahesh Rawat (not out) 23, D. Salunkhe c and b Hopes 6, Pankaj Singh (not out) 1; Extras (lb-3, w-1) 4; Total (for seven wkts. in 20 overs): 180. Fall of wickets: 1-5, 2-29, 3-78, 4-99, 5-132, 6-171, 7-178. Kings XI Punjab bowling: I. Pathan 4-0-10-1, Sreesanth 3-0-44-1, Hopes 3-0-29-2, Powar 1-0-7-0, V.R.V. Singh 4-0-32-0, Chawla 4-0-35-3, Yuvraj 1-0-20-0.
