Chargers Go! Bulls in semifinals
New Delhi, Apr 19, 2010
Champions Deccan Chargers pulled off an improbable feat, winning their fifth match in a row to enter the IPL-3 semis. Chargers beat Delhi Daredevils by 11 runs in a match that was low on scores but high on drama.
With this win, Chargers climbed to No. 2 on the points table. Chargers now face Chennai Super Kings, whom they have beaten twice this season, in the second semifinal in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.
Both Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds attributed the victory to the team effort. The captain termed the victory as “outstanding”, which seems an understatement.
For the record, Symonds smashed 54 (30 balls, 3x4 5x6), taking the Chargers total to 145/7. Delhi fell 11 runs short, with Pragyan Ojha (2-16) and Chaminda Vaas (1-19) bowling miserly spells. That overcame the rather expensive 2-42 by Harmeet Singh. Rohit Sharma made three excellent catches in a match marred by dropped catches.
