DHARAMSALA, India (AP) — Deccan Chargers dashed Kings XI Punjab's hopes of qualifying for the Indian Premier League playoffs with a thumping 82-run victory Saturday.
Kings XI had to win their final league match to stay in contention for a place among the top four but collapsed during their chase when Amit Mishra claimed a hat trick. The Indian leg-spinner dismissed Ryan McLaren (9), Mandeep Singh (7) and Ryan Harris for nought in his third over and finished with four for nine.
Kings XI finished fifth in the 10-team competition with 14 points.
Chargers were put in to bat, reaching 198-2 from 20 overs after an opening-wicket stand of 131 between Shikhar Dhawan (95 not out) and Ravi Teja (60). Kings XI were all out for 116 in 19 overs.
