Deccan Chargers v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals - IPL5 - Toss Report
In the 68th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and elected to bat first, aiming to post enough runs on the board to give Deccan Chargers a run for their money, at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792.
While, it’s the end of the line for Deccan, Rajasthan on the other hand still are in the running for securing a spot in the final four, all they need to do is win this and their last match, which will throw defending champions Chennai Super Kings out of the tournament and place Royals in the play-offs.
Rajasthan now just need to post a fighting total on the board that would get them into the play-offs.
Pitch Report:
The grounds men have once again preferred a green top, which will surely be heaven for bowlers, while the batsmen will need to exhibit character and skill to bat a long innings here.
Captain’s comments:
Rajasthan Royals: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229: The spirit in the team has been fantastic. It has worked well for us. We have shown some good performances and we need to finish on a high. The last couple of games have been very good for us. We needed to get more runs with the bat but the bowlers have stood up well in the last 4-5 games. We are going to bat first. We like to set a total and this suits our team well.
Deccan Chargers: Cameron White:
Deccan will look to play for pride today. They are currently languishing at the bottom and a win today will give them something to cheer about in what has otherwise been a miserable tournament for them.
