Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 post 136 against Deccan Chargers – Indian Premier League update
Deccan Chargers did well to restrict Pune Warriors to a score of 136 for 9 in their allotted quota of 20 overs during their Indian Premier League (IPL) fixture today. Both teams already know that they do not have any chance of making it to the semi-finals,
but were playing for pride and put on a good display of cricket.
However, the lack of focus was still there and Pune’s batting reflected why they have not done so well in their first season in the Indian Premier League. The batting was inconsistent right from the top. The low score can also be attributed to some disciplined
bowling from the former champions Deccan Chargers.
Deccan won the toss and elected to bowl first in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Manish-Pandey-c74183. Ryder has had small cameos throughout the tournament but has not been able to go on. This is exactly what he did once again
and got the team off to a quick start with 18 runs from 14 balls before being sent back to the pavilion. Ryder followed soon and was dismissed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 and the former Indian captain lasted just five balls and did not manage
to get off the mark and he was dismissed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-Venu-Uthappa-c86342
did not last long and was dismissed for just four runs by Amit Mishra.
Wickets kept going down for Pune as Yuvraj looked for support from the other end. Mithun Minhas was the next to go on the very first ball as he was knocked over by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Mishra-c94922. Cullum Ferguson established some sort of a partnership with Yuvraj but he was dismissed
after scoring 11 by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JP-Duminy-c1742. Yuvraj was also sent back after 23 runs by Daniel Christian.
Next man in was the unknown Aussie http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Richard-Griffith-c41953
sixes. Wayne Pranell also contributed 16 runs in the end as Pune ended up with 136 for the loss of 9 wickets at the end of their innings. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mishra-c871 was the pick of the bowlers with 2 wickets and just 26 runs from his five overs.
