Teams:
Kings XI Punjab (Playing XI): Ravi Bopara, Manvinder Bisla, Kumar Sangakkara(w/c), Yuvraj Singh, Mahela Jayawardene, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, Piyush Chawla, Bipul Sharma, Sreesanth, Yusuf Abdulla
Bangalore Royal Challengers (Playing XI): Jacques Kallis, Manish Pandey, Virat Kohli, Eoin Morgan, Rahul Dravid, Robin Uthappa, Mark Boucher(w), Praveen Kumar, Dale Steyn, Anil Kumble(c), Vinay Kumar
Pitch Report: The ball will come onto the bat nicely. The faster bowlers may get some swing under the lights. 170 looks to be a par score. The spinners will get some bounce as well
Kumble: I would like to wish everyone a happy Ugadi today. I know the crowd will get behind us and looking forward to a good match. It's a steady batting track and the bowlers will get some good bounce. We are playing 4 seamers today. It's always a tough call in the Indian conditions on how to tackle the first 6 overs. Merve and Goswami are not playing. Boucher and Vinay Kumar are back.
Sangakkara: The pitch looks pretty good. It may encourage both the batsmen and the bowlers. The bowling was good in our previous match and I hope our batsmen will deliver the goods. Day games or night games, it's not a big difference. The only thing is that we'll sweat a bit more in Day games. The guys have worked really hard. Bipul Sharma is in for Powar. When you play with a lot of passion, the result usually goes our way.
Kings XI Punjab have won the toss and elected to bat

1.1
Steyn to Bopara, 3 runs, hint of away swing but poor fielding from Steyn. It was driven just to the left of him and he allowed it to burst through his fingers ...
