Kings XI Punjab would aim to keep the winning run going when they take on South Africa's Cape Cobras in a Group B encounter of the Champions League in Mohali on Sunday.

Having missed out on the Indian Premier League title, after going down to Kolkata Knight Riders in the final, Punjab clearly look hungry to win their first major title -- the CLT20.

On Friday, the Punjab side, which has carved out a reputation for itself for being good at chasing, scored a mountain of runs batting first against the Kiwi side and then won by a record margin of 120 runs.

Accumulating 215 runs riding on the back of valiant knocks by Manan Vohra (65), Virender Sehwag (52) and David Miller (40), Punjab's young spinners Karanveer Singh and Akshar Patel wrecked the Knights.

On the other hand, the Cape Cobras, after losing two matches on the trot, salvaged a win against the Barbados Tridents via the Super Over.

In their first match, Cobras had lost to Hobart Hurricanes by six wickets in Hyderabad.
