\"IPL:Mohali<\/strong>: Kings XI Punjab<\/a> registered their first win in the fifth season of the Indian Premier League<\/a> (IPL) with a seven-wicket victory over Pune Warriors at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in Mohali here on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Englishman Dimitri Mascarenhas<\/a> was the star of the show taking five wickets for 25 runs as he helped his team bowl out the Warriors for 115 in 19 overs.<\/p>\n

Australian import Shaun Marsh came back into form with a brilliant 64 not out off 54 balls as the home team reached their target with 14 balls to spare.<\/p>\n

Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to field on a pitch which had help for the fast bowlers.<\/p>\n

The pitch though had no part to play in Pune’s first wicket as Jesse Ryder (7), like in the previous match against Punjab, ran himself out. Captain Sourav Ganguly<\/a> (16) hit three boundaries in his short stay at the crease but was caught at backward point thanks to a leading edge. <\/p>\n

Marlon Samuels (2), Robin Uthappa (17) and Angelo Mathews (11), fell in quick successions without putting up a fight.<\/p>\n

Former Delhi Daredevils batsman Mithun Manhas came to the rescue of the Sahara group-owned franchise, smashing three fours and a six on his way to 31 runs off 28 balls.<\/p>\n

Mascarenhas was well supported by Harmeet Singh (2-23), who also chipped away with crucial wickets and never allowed the visitors to get a hold in the match.<\/p>\n

Kings XI Punjab in reply had the worse possible start as Pune’s hero of the last match Ashok Dinda, castled Paul Valthaty in the very first ball of the innings.<\/p>\n

Shaun Marsh, who has been woefully out of form for Australia, walked in to join his compatriot and captain Adam Gilchrist<\/a> (21), with whom he forged a crucial 50-run stand to put Punjab in the driving seat.<\/p>\n

Marsh kept his cool and held one end up as Punjab to victory even though couple of wickets fell at the other end. With the run rate never going over a run a ball, the hosts cantered to a convincing win as Pune Warriors tasted defeat for the first time in the tournament this year.
