Great fight back by KXI.Last 5 overs totally belonged to them.Great display of hitting by Dussey and Miller led them towards a fighting total.But at the same time i thik MI bowlers were off target as well in the last part of the innings

Chawla and Hussey have gifted this to MI in a platter! Couldnt Hussey find a good medium pacer-fast bowler for the last two overs? A spinner is always a major risk in the final overs even if he is a Warne or a Murali. This is why Dhoni doesnt go for spinners in the death overs.

I hate seeing MI win, but this is going to be a MI win due to bad decision by Punjab.

Lesson learnt the hard way - don't bowl a spinner even if the opposition needs 6 sixes an over in the last 3 overs, to win! Ideally, spinners should finish their quota by the 16th over.

So, what he would have done? Give some credit to the batters. Peterson changed it and shifted the momentum with those switch hits.

Yeah he indeed played excellent (even though I missed it, looking at scorecard) but could he score and use these switch hits against a fast bowler? I guess no...

NO! The victory to Mumbai was more possible due to the poor decision by David Hussey to go with a spinner. Did you see how Peterson batted against Azhar Mahmood in that final over? Tried so hard to whack it but couldn't do anything (he definitely tried to hit out even in the final over).

De Villiers does it, so maybe Peterson could have as well. :p But, yeah disappointed with Kings XI for not winning this one. They look okay but, need to win such matches.
