High on confidence after the last-ball victory against Kolkata Knight Riders, Deccan Chargers skipper Adam Gilchrist is now eyeing another win in their next outing against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday to seal a semi-final berth in the Indian Premier League.

Sent in to bat first, Kings XI Punjab lost three quick wickets against consistent Deccan Chargers at New Wanderers Stadium.

RP Singh dismissed opener Sunny Sohal (9) in the second over to become the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Sohal tried all possible ways to get out and was finally successful when miscued one to Rohit Sharma at short fine-leg.

Luke Pomersbach also did not last long and was run-out by Herschelle Gibbs for 1 run.

Simon Katich played couple of good shots before being claimed by Andrew Symonds for 11 runs. Pragyan Ojha took a comfortable catch at the mid-on.

Adam Gilchrist won the toss and invited Kings XI Punjab to bat first in the 49th match of the IPL.

Chargers included Jaskaran Singh in their line-up, as Harmeet Singh was warming the benches.

Kings XI Punjab retained the same side which stunned Delhi Daredevils on May 15.

Punjab have the psychological advantage going into the match as they had beaten Adam Gilchrist’s men by three wickets in their earlier meeting.

Deccan Chargers took a stride towards reserving their semi-final berth as they pipped Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets in a last-ball thriller on Saturday.

The teams

Deccan Chargers: Adam Gilchrist, Herschelle Gibbs, Tirumalsetti Suman, Rohit Sharma, Andrew Symonds, Venugopal Rao, Dwaraka Ravi Teja, Ryan Harris, Jaskaran Singh, Rudra Pratap Singh, Pragyan Ojha.
