DLF IPL Season 5 - Match 29
Deccan
Chargers Vs Kolkata Knight Riders at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack
Showers after the toss delayed the start of the match. Match started at 21:05 hrs. IST without any
reduction in the number of overs.
KKR won the toss and elected to field. Sangakkara failed once again for Deccan
Chargers getting out for 12. Shikar
Dhawan and Parthiv Patel took the score to 81 when Parthiv Patel fell for
23. Dhawan made a fine 50. But Cameron White and Duminy didn't succeed
in stepping up the run rate and also got out for poor scores. Deccan Chargers posted a paltry score of
126/7 in front of the strong KKR batting line up. Sunil Narine and L.Balaji captured 2 wickets
apiece. But the pick of the bowlers was
Brett Lee who bowled a tight line to concede just 15 runs off 4 overs capturing
1 wicket.
KKR lost their out-of-form batsman Brendon McCullum for 10
runs. Bisla also left making 10
runs. Opener Gambhir and Kallis played
well briefly. But after their fall,
Yousuf Pathan hit a six and got bowled the very next delivery, once again proving
his careless attitude towards the game.
But a timely innings from Manoj Tiwary and Debrata Das took KKR to the
finishing line. It was an unimpressive
chase by KKR. But this win took them to
the 3rd spot in the Points Table and Deccan Chargers suffered their 5th defeat
in succession to remain pointless in the tournament.
