DLF IPL Season 5 - Match 6
Chennai Super Kings Vs Deccan Chargers
Wounded CSK lions decided to roar back and unfortunately the timid rabbits Deccan Chargers were pitted against them. Deccan Chargers won the toss and chose to field, going by the general trend in this season so far. CSK started badly losing Murali Vijay for 2 runs. However Du Plessis was going great guns at the other end scoring 39 off 25. Raina and Badri stayed briefly but it was the contribution from CSK's costly buy Ravindra Jadeja's 48 off 29 balls which set the platform for a huge total. Finishing punches came from Dwayne Bravo who blasted 43 runs off 18 deliveries with 5 hits above the fence. CSK posted a mammoth score of 193/6.
Chasing almost an impossible target of 194, considering the limitations in their batting, Deccan Chargers started reasonably well getting the runs at a brisk rate. But wickets started falling at regular intervals and Deccan Chargers were finally bundled out for 119 runs. CSK won by a huge margin of 74 runs. Ravindra Jadeja's golden touch continued with the ball too. He took 5/16 to justify his selection and to silence his critics.
