At last it's Deccan on winning side! I was really embarrassed to see 5 L's against Deccan Form Guide in the Cricinfo Match Preview. Finally, the team got a chance to revive their statistics.
Match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB):
Date: 07.04.2010
Time: 8:00 Pm Local
Venue: Chidambaram Stadium, Bangalore
RCB (184/6 in 20 Ov) & Deccan Chargers (186/3 in 19.2 Ov)
Special attraction: Deepika Padukone & Vivek Oberoi (for RCB), Venkatesh (for DC)
Facts: Purple cap for P. Ojha (DC), Orange cap remains with J. Kallis, T. Suman (DC) maiden IPL 50, V. Kohli first fifty in the tournament, M. Marsh debut for DC.
Thriller ended like this:
It was a real thriller. And, Deccan grabbed the game towards the end of the match. Ryan Harris, P Ojha & Symonds put great pressure on RCB till 12 Overs and it was totally under their control. As usual following the form guide they bowled poor death overs and conceded more than double the previous over run rate. It was a poor start for Deccan while batting, Monish lost his wicket. Then T. Suman & Symonds finished the game aggressively hitting Kumble, P. Kumar & Vinay.
What made the difference:
Every team winning this season have good numbers from domestic players. Deccan was the only team lacking domestic explosion. As I pointed last time, there is necessity for explosive batting from domestic players. Monish tried to do it but failed. Nevertheless, Suman rocked to win a vital innings. Gilly feels that the team is 90% OK, lets hope that they will be better in the next match. The team composition is probably the best of all combination. Mitchell, though didn't not excel in bowling, is good with the ball trying to bowl bouncers, good length and aiming leg stump at
Chances for Semi's:
Can it do it again? Well, Deccan's record this tournament shows some interesting facts. Counting the chances Deccan has chance. Forthcoming matches are against those teams which lost to Deccan early in the tournament. Whatever it did, did it twice. So, there is a chance to beat all the four teams! ;)
