David Miller and Mandeep Singh stayed cool at crucial moments to guide Kings XI Punjab to a seven-wicket win over Pune Warriors on Sunday.

Miller struck two massive sixes in the final over to erase any hope Pune Warriors may have had of winning.

Earlier, Kings XI won the toss and elected to field on the grassy surface in Mohali.

There were plenty of changes in the Pune Warriors side, which was led by Aaron Finch, as Angelo Mathews is out of form.
