IPL5: Delhi Daredevils v Deccan Chargers – Live Scores and Match Update – Daredevils restrict Chargers to 157
After a series of disappointing losses, which saw them plummeting to the bottom of the IPL5 points table, the Deccan Chargers found themselves restricted to 157 for 8 during their ongoing match against the Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780,
courtesy Shahbaz Nadeem and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528.
After winning the toss, captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Dhawan-c2392. The skipper was unimpressive, dismissed on 1 by Morkel, but Dhawan pushed on valiantly, scoring 44 off 29 and establishing a 71-run partnership with
wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parthiv-Patel-c2159 (45).
However, the solid partnership came crashing down in the 10th over, courtesy Nadeem. Following up his dismissal of Dhawan, lbw, the left-arm spinner went on to hasten Patel’s departure, who was caught out by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397 at deep-square leg.
This left the Chargers at 106 for 3, and was a loss from which they were unable to recover. Nadeem struck again in the 14th over, sending http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daniel-Christian-c1308
(19) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625.
The remaining lower order were fairly unremarkable, and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ankit-Sharma-c1053 (1) all failed to stage any sort of comeback.
While the top order put up a solid display, the middle and lower order were unable to follow through, and the Chargers finished at 157 by the end of 20 overs, at the expense of 8 wickets.
Nadeem remained the most devastating bowler in the Daredevils’ attack, claiming 3 scalps at the expense of a mere 16 runs in 4 overs. Morkel was also impressive, claiming 3 for 23 in 4. Yadav chipped in with a useful wicket, but conceded 33 in just 3 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajit-Agarkar-c972 proved particularly expensive, giving away 42 in 3 overs, at the expense of zero wickets.
Chasing 158, the Daredevils will be opening their innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 and Mahela Jayawardene waiting to take over should the top order fail, the target doesn’t
appear to pose too much of a threat for the home team.
