Deccan Chargers too hot to handle for Pune Warriors: IPL News
PW 136/9 20 overs - DC 138/4 19.2 overs
Pune Warriors were sent packing out of the Indian Premier League 2011 after they crashed to a 6-wicket defeat at the hands of Deccan Chargers. The Warriors, who needed to win the match to keep intact their slim hopes of making it to the knock-out stage of the event, failed to post a competitive total in the match played at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820.
Jesse Ryder and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Marsh-c1974, yet it was too little too late for them to post a competitive total.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Amit-Mishra-c44030 chipped in with 2 wickets each for the 2009 IPL Champions.
The inadequate total was never going to threaten the star studded Chargers batting line-up. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunny-Sohal-c2609 and S. Dhawan got their team off to a flying start, the two Indians made full use of the conditions and the deflated spirits in the rival camp to post 67 runs in only 8.1 overs.
Both were dismissed in quick succession though; Dhawan made 28 off 25 balls while Sohal, the more aggressive one of the two, scored 34 off 28 balls with the help of a brace of fours and sixes.
Kumar Sangakkara and Jean Paul Duminy chipped in with 25 and 23 runs to take their team to the target, both were dismissed though and the task was completed by Christian and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bharat-Chipli-c47949 in the last over of the Deccan innings.
For the Warriors, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-Sharma-c83352 snared 2 wickets for 25 runs off his 4-over spell, while Wayne Parnell took 1 wicket for 27 runs in 3.2 overs.
The Man of the Match award was given to Amit Mishra for his figures of 2/26 off 4 overs, which also included a maiden.
