Pune Warriors record impressive win over Deccan Chargers in Indian Premier League - match report
DC 136/8 20 overs PW 137/4 18.2 overs
Deccan Chargers poor record at home has gone from bad to worse as they are toppled by new comers Pune Warriors in the latest Indian Premier League clash that took place at the Uppal stadium in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 on May 10.
The Warriors easily overhauled the mediocre target of 137 set for them by the hosts, they in fact cantered through to the chase through an assured knock by former Indian captain and legendary batsman Sourav Ganguly. The left-hander has been recruited by
the Warriors for the remainder of the IPL season and he made full use of his experience to carve out an unbeaten run a ball 32 batting at the Number three spot in the batting order. His innings was studded with three fours and one six.
The foundation of the easy chase was laid by the opening pair of the Warrior’s Jesse Ryder and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Manish-Pandey-c74183. The two added 55 runs in 6.5 overs to get their team off to a flying start. Ryder was bowled by left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha for a quick fire 35
scored off 20 balls.
Pandey scored 49 off 42 balls, as he was dismissed by leg spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 were sent packing cheaply. However, Ganguly’s experience
saw his team through to an easy win.
Earlier in the day the Chargers failed to make much use of a good batting wicket, once again there batsmen struggled in their own backyard against the disciplined Pune attack.
Jean Paul Duminy and Ravi Teja top scored with 30 runs each, the rest of the batting line-up had little going their way as they stuttered along to a paltry score.
The Pune bowlers had a good day with the ball, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Marsh-c1974 snared four wickets in his spell and three of them came in his last over.
Wayne Parnell and Yuvraj gave him good support to restrict the opposition, the inadequate total was never going to challenge the Warriors as the Chargers later found out.
