NEW DELHI: David Hussey waged a lone battle with his hitting to resurrect Kings XI Punjab against Chennai Super Kings in the 11th match of the IPL 6 at PCA Stadium in Mohali.

Scorecard

Kings XI Punjab struggled as they lost their three quick wickets in seven overs. Ravindra Jadeja struck in his first over to remove Manan Vohra and leave the hosts tottering at 50/3 in 7 overs.

Chennai Super Kings pacer Dirk Nannes gave Kings XI Punjab double jolts by dismissing Adam Gilchrist and Mandeep Singh in same over.

Nannes first scalped Gilchrist when he flicked to deep leg where Michael Hussey dived to his left to take fine catch. Two balls later the hosts suffered another blow in the form of Mandeep.

Earlier, Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to field against Kings XI.

Chennai made a one change, bringing in Chris Morris in place of Ben Laughlin while Punjab retained the same playing eleven.

CSK would be looking to put behind the disappointment of their nine-run loss to Mumbai Indians in their opening game.

Dhoni's fine form is surely an ominous sign for the opponents. And despite the loss, CSK look a far more formidable side and would certainly start as favourites.

The two-time IPL champions, however, would be wary of the fact that KXIP had trampled them on both occasions in the last season.

Kings XI, on the other hand, side would go in as underdogs in this contest despite a resounding eight-wicket win over lacklustre Pune Warriors.

The Kings XI would aim for a similar show in their first home match of the season

On the bowling front, the hosts would be pleased with a disciplined performance from the seamers in the last match.

Teams:

Kings XI Punjab: Adam Gilchrist (captain & wk), Mandeep Singh, David Hussey, Azhar Mahmood, Gurkeerat Singh, Manan Vohra, Rajagopal Sathish, Piyush Chawla, Parvinder Awana, Praveen Kumar, Ryan Harris.

Chennai Super Kings: Murali Vijay, Mike Hussey, Suresh Raina, S Badrinath, MS Dhoni (captain/wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Ravichandaran Ashwin, Dirk Nannes, Chris Morris, Ankit Rajpoot
