Preity's Kings XI lose another IPL match

Did Deepika Padukone cheering for the other team make a difference?

Not all of Preity Zinta's bubbly support from the stands could save her IPL team from their second consecutive loss at this year's tournament.

At the match today (March 16) played in Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium, her Kings XI Punjab were outclassed by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Preity's team scored 203/3, and the Challengers ended with 204/2 in 18.5 overs.

But Preity wasn't too upset about the loss. In fact, she continued to be positive. She posted on her Twitter account, "We played well but Bangalore played better ! Got the give credit where its due ! 14 more games to go till its all over !" And in a later tweet, the actress added, "Today we were the losing side but that's ok ! Both previous IPL's we lost our first two games ! We will come back with a bang ! I know it !"

The star power at the match today wasn't limited to Preity. Deepika Padukone was there too, supporting the Bangalore team. We've got to watch out for how the two gorgeous actresses and their teams fare in the future. It promises to be an interesting face-off!
