Kings XI Punjab posted 106/6 in 10 overs against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a rain-curtailed Indian Premier League encounter at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium here on Wednesday.

Much before both the side's skippers could get ready for the toss, rain halted their intentions. The toss was held at 10.30 pm, three hours later then the scheduled time and the match reduced to a 10-over per side contest.

RCB skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bowl, much to the relief of the fans at the stadium.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha was promoted up the order and he opened the batting with Manan Vohra, who scored 11 in six balls.

 

Bengal's right-handed batsman Saha made most of the opportunity of batting up the order, hitting 31 in just 12 balls. His knock included five fours and a six.

Australia's World Cup hero Glenn Maxwell's poor form continued as he made only 10 runs.

Later, South African left-hander David Miller made 14 of four balls while skipper George Bailey hit 13 of nine deliveries.

Young Indian all-rounder Axar Patel remained unbeaten at 20 from 15 balls.

For the visitors, spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and right-arm medium pacer Harshal Patel took two wickets each, while left-arm pacer Mictell Starc got one wicket.
