After winning the toss, Chennai Super Kings decided to bat first today in the 42nd match of DLF IPL 2010. Hayden and M Vijay gave them a quick start and took the score to 41 before Hayden got out in 4.4 overs. Soon Vijay was also run out leaving Chennai Super Kings 64/2 in 7.5 overs. Chennai Super Kings had got a decent start but they could not capitalize on it. Once the openers were out, wickets started to fell at regular interval of time. Suresh Raina was the only batsmen who offered some resistance and scored a well deserved 52. None of the other middle order batsmen could even reach two figure score and thus Chennai Super Kings eventually could post only 138/8 in 20 overs.

Deccan Charger’s bowler did a splendid job in restricting Chennai Super Kings to 138 and now it was up to batsmen to win this match for them. The openers played cautiously but in the 5th over of innings, Deccan Chargers lost both the openers and were reduced to 35/2. T Suman then played responsibily and along with Rohit Sharma took the score to 61 when Sharma got out. Symonds and T Suman then steadied the innings and took score past 100. T Suman scored a brilliant 55 and laid a platform for Deccan’s victory. Finally Symonds and Dwayne Smith took the team to victory in the last over. This win over Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets have now again opened the semi’s place for all.
