Proving that their earlier victory was no flash in the pan, Punjab overhauled RCB's challenging total of 174 for five with 11 balls to spare. After Parwinder Awana bagged three wickets for the visitors, Adam Gilchrist tore into the opposition attack, making the chase look simple as Punjab raced to a seven-wicket victory. Tuesday's result also ended RCB's unbeaten home run. (BCCL)

Gilchrist's return to form -- a match-winning unbeaten knock of 85 from 54 balls studded with ten fours and three sixes -- was enough to overshadow RCB opener Chris Gayle's 77 and skipper Virat Kohli's 57. (BCCL)

The Punjab skipper's decision to bring in Azhar Mahmood (61 off 41 balls) at No. 2 also paid dividends as the pair stitched together 118 runs from 71 balls after losing the early wicket of Shaun Marsh (8). (BCCL)

Zaheer Khan, coming in place of Ravi Rampaul, marked his return to action after a long injury lay-off, with the wicket of Marsh but that was a hardly a setback. David Miller, the man who fashioned Kings XI's home win against RCB with a whirlwind ton, too fell cheaply but even that did not deter them. (PTI)
