Mumbai Indians defeated Kings XI Punjab; star's team is at the bottom of the points chart
Preity Zinta's IPL team, Kings XI Punjab, lost a thriller to the Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai today (March 30). The Mumbai Indians won by four wickets; Kings XI had scored 163, while the Mumbai team ended with 164/6. It was a close match until the end, with the Mumbai Indians needing six runs from six balls in the final over.Preity had predicted that the match would be thrilling. She’d tweeted, “We have always had the most exciting games with M.I in the past ! Hope today is also a thriller with lots of 6's,4's, and free hits !” Sportingly, she’d also admitted that the Mumbai Indians’ Sachin Tendulkar was her favourite player. Preity had posted on her Twitter account before the game, “Hey guys !All excited for the game tonight & 2 c Sachin, my fav player in this whole world play !”
But it wasn’t an exciting result for the actress. She looked very tense towards the end of the match. This defeat means that from the eight games her team has played, they’ve lost seven, and managed just one win. Preity is well aware of the equation. She tweeted post match, “Guys I need LUCK !!! Lots of it ! Only good thing about tonight was that v played well & Sachin got d Orange cap !”
Sachin also had a lot of star support at the match, even apart from Preity. Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan, Suneil Shetty, Salman Khan’s sister Arpita, Kunal Kapoor, Geeta Basra and Diana Hayden were all at the match cheering for Sachin and the Mumbai Indians team.
