Fine Partnership Wins Match – Delhi Daredevils against Deccan Chargers
Fine partnership between TM Dilshan and Dinesh Karthik wins match – Delhi Daredevils against Deccan Chargers
The winning streak of Deccan Chargers was broken today by Delhi Daredevils. The performance of Delhi Daredevils’ batsmen TM Dilshan (52 n/o) (who already won another match single handedly against Royal Challengers) and Wicket Keeper Dinesh Karthik steadied the Innings after the early fall of Captain Sheawag (20) and Gowtham Gambir (17). Gambir was little bit unlucky to be given out lbw as the TV replay showed it was not. Dilshan was steely enough in the death overs to smash fours and finally reached the target of 150 in 18.4 overs against Deccan Chargers’ 148/8.
Earlier, Delhi Daredevils won the toss and elected to field. Captain Adam Gilchrist and Pragyan Ohja opened the Innings. Ohja was run out by Daniel Vettori for just 1 run. Gilchrist (8) and Gibbs for a duck were dismissed by the fine bowling of Dirk Nannes. Inspite of the best efforts of Dwayne Smith (48), Bilakhia (22), Suman (23), and Venugopal Rao (16), the team could muster only 148 runs at the end of 20 overs giving away 8 wickets. The early fall of openers and formidable batsmen like Gillchrist and Gibbs was the dousing spirit of the team.
Dirk Nannes, the bowler who got these precious wickets was adjudged as the Man of the Match.
