Match 43:
Delhi Daredevils Vs Deccan Chargers
Almost a berth in Semi’s Delhi would love to seal their berth with this win, on the other end, Its Deccan’s, who need this win to get their place in semi’s…. Its almost a playoff for the semi’s berth.
Gilly won the toss and decided to bowl first, Surprise, Shewag didn’t open for delhi, its warner and Gambhir, Warner went for a expensive pull shot and got in the mid off easily. later dilshan gave a simplest ever chance to rohit sharma, when he failed to grab that, he meant, how important catch they have missed, taking sixth over the game to 24 runs. Even though he was after a very short cameo, he did his work. But on the other end, its gambhir who is really struggling to find the form finally ended his misery innings with a shot lofted to long on. In the end, its AB and Karthik’s show, both really made bowlers to pay a lot, esp karthik took chaminda vaas’s last over to 23 which really the turning point of the match. With a good show, Delhi ended by getting 173/7.
Looking down to chase more than 8 an over, gilly started the things in his own fashion, picking the gaps and punishing the bowlers with out any mercy, Sangwan ran over couple of wickets in the front, but nothing halted the proceedings of Deccan’s and its just a man, gilly taking all, all over the park in Kingsmead. Then came the killer break (i mean strategic time out), which really breaked the strategic formed by gilly, but he brought in a right replacement for his shoes, its symonds, took the place of another Australian, and looked at ease while playing the delhi bowlers.
To say Deccan’s had the match in their pocket till 17th over (where they needed 25 in 18 balls with 6 wickets in hand), then came the unexpected surprise, Rajat Bhatia from no where bowled a superb over to remove Symonds and Smith and giving away just 3 in that over, later nehra chipped with 2 wickets in 19th over, last over Bhatia finished the things off for deccans, picked the rest 2. Which means, Deccan’s lost their last 7 wickets in the space of 17 deliveries and for 12 runs. Which means, Delhi won the match by 12 runs. and remain firmly in the top of the table. Winners are two localities Bhatia and Sangwan for dashing figures.
