Match 57: Semi Final 1: DC v. DD: Gilchrist's One Man Show destroy DD!

What a batting performance from Gilchrist! Everyone knows that he is a dangerous batsman and he proved it one more time in the internationl cricket. He took Deccan Chargers to the Final single handedly, though the bowlers also helped in restricting DD to mere 153.

Chasing 154 in the semi final, knock-out is always difficult and a pressure job. Gilchrist took all the pressure on himself and took DC to the final. He scored 85 in just 35 balls with 10 fours and 5 sixes. He is the leading batsman to have scored most sixes in this season of IPL.

On the way to 85, he also created the record for scoring fastest fifty which came in just 17 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes.

The chase started powerfully for Deccan Chargers as Gilchrist scored 5 continuous fours in the first over from Nannes. He started with a pull over square leg, then a push past the bowler, a slash over point, good drive through extra cover, and the last one was past mid on. End of over 1, DC were 21 which had a wide as well.

Gibbs failed in the crucial match and was bowled by Nehra for a duck. Why did he do that? He came down the track and swung blindly and lost his stump.

Nothing stopped Gilchrist. He smashed Sangwan to two continuous fours and followed by a six. Bilakhia played sensibly and gave strike to Gilly.

Gilchrist hit a four of a no ball from Nehra and then a six in the free hit. DC reached fifty in 3.5 overs with the loss of Gibbs.

In the forth over, he reached his fifty with a single to cover point. Fastest fifty of IPL! The previous record was jointly held by McCullum of Kolkata and Yusuf Pathan off Rajasthan who scored fifty in 21 balls.

Sehwag brough himself to stop the run rate and get Gilly. He went for 25 runs. No run of the first ball, but rest of the balls were punished with the last ball going for a single. The second ball was an overstepped no ball, which Gilly sent to the boundary. The free hit full toos went for a six over long on. Next ball was a six over long off and the next ball was straight six to sightscreen. Hat-trick sixes!

DC moved to 84 for 1 in just 6 overs. The highest any team has scored in the powerplay. The next over was a silent one for DC as they added just 3 runs from Dilshan.

Mishra picked a wicket in his first over having Bilakhia stumped. He also picked Gilchrist in the last ball of the 10th over, though it came very late as all the damage has been done. He came down the track, tried to loft the ball, but takes the top edge and flew to short third man where Nannes took a good catch. Gilchrst was out for 85 in 35 balls scoring 10 fours and 5 sixes! DC needed 52 in the last overs.

Symonds replaced Gilchrist and hit two continuous fours in the first over after the strategic break. Mishra bowled a good line on the other end, but there was not much score to restrict.

Nehra was brought back, but that did not stop DC. Symonds hit him for two continuous fours as well. Mishra was the man for DD, but in a dead match!

He picked Symonds after being hit for a six. 8 runs in last 5 overs with 6 wickets in hand is easy for DC. Rohit and Suman played slowly and took 16 balls to reach the target as Deccan Chargers stormed into the finals!

Rightly Gilchrist was awarded the man of the match as none of the 21 other players could go near him!

Earlier, put into bat, DD made 153. Gilly made the right choice as he is sure that his team is good in chasing. His team proved that as well!

Gambhir and Warner went for duck in the first over. Harris had a dream start giving his team the wickets of 2 dangerous batsmen. With no run scored in the first four pballs, pressure drew Gambhir down the track. The ball was pitched little wide which Gambhir slashed in the air and went straight to RP Singh in third man. This time RP Singh grabbed it! His missed catch from Pandey changed the match for them against RC.

Next delivery, Warner hit staright to point where Gibbs grabbed it. DD were 0 for 2 in 1 over.

Dilshan hit RP Singh for a six and a four in the second over. Sehwag hammered two fours in Harri's next over to take DD to 23 for 2 in 3 overs. These two scored few more boundaries and took DD to 49 for 2 in 6 overs.

These two added 85 for the 3rd wicket in 58 balls. Sehwag trying to play a scoop over fine leg was trapped plumb in front of the wicket off Symonds. Poor short selection from the hard-hitter as it was soft short.

DeVilliers and Dilshan added 48 for the 4th wicket. DeVilliers scored 26 in 21 bals. Dilshan top scored with 65 in 51 balls which had 7 fours and a six. DD scored 70 runs in the last overs and finished with 153 on the board.

Match 53: KKR v. RR: KKR on Late Winning Song! Sends Rajasthan Home!

With another win, McCullum's KKR has pakced Rajasthan Royals home. Yes, the last year's champion is out of the tournament. Though there is no impact to KRR, a win for RR would have helped them to wait and watch other games to see their luck!

It was a low scoring affair with Rajasthan Royals bundled for 101. Naman Ojha started the innings well scoring 22 runs of the first over bowled by Hodge. Put into bat, Ojha started the innings with a six over square leg. David Hussey dropped the catch for Ojha in the next ball. He played the same shot, but it took edge and went to Hussey who failed to hold on to it.

Six from the third ball over long off. The next two balls went for one run each. Ojha against scored a six off the last ball, again over square leg.

Quiney, Asnodkar, and Ojha were dismissed in the three continuous overs. Each over had a wicket for KKR. Botha was bowled by Agarkar for 8. At the end of 10 overs, RR were 61 for 5. Yusuf Pathan once again failed as he was run out for 9. RR managed play out the full quota of 20 overs and set 102 as target.

Though looked like an easy targt, the pitch was helping the slower bowlers and turning well. McCullum started with 2 fours in the first over but Ganguly lost his wicket in the first over. He came down the track to hit over covers, but managed to hit staraight to Jadeja at point.

McCullum was trapped in the first ball of the second over. Munaf grabbed Yashpal caught by Quiney for 6. N Ojha did a good stumping to send dangerous Hodge, who played the ball to silly point and takes off. The ball spun back and went to keeper who grabbed it and removed the bails. Third umpire found the bat was in the air!

Hussey was caught at deep midwicket off Botha. Unnecessary short at this point in time. KKR was in deep trouble having just 38 on the board with 5 wicket in hand.

Last 10 overs needed 64 runs. Shaikh ran out himself for 6 when there was no run. Shukla took the responsibility on his shoulders with Agarkar on the other end.

Shukla's six over midwicket of Warne was good to watch! Last 5 overs needed 37 runs. Shukla scored 10 runs in the 16th over bowled by Jadeja. Agarkar and Shukla managed Warne well. They scored just singles of his last over.

21 from 18 balls. Shukla took the risk! He hit Botha over midwicket for a huge six. Relief in KKR camp and pressure on RR as they are on the verge of losing the chance to book their slot for the last four.

11 from 12 balls. Shukla playing wonderfully, timing the ball well. He hit the slower ball from Henderson over extra cover for a boundary. In the remaining four balls, 3 single's were scored.

4 runs of 6 balls and KKR finished the match in the third ball. RR out of the tournament!

Match 52: RC v. DD: Kallis takes RC closer to Semis! Win Crucial Match!

Kallis played a crucial innings during the chase of 135 which helped them to go closer to the last four place. This is an important game for RC, a must win situation to stay in the competition.

With 12 points and two matches to go, a win would fetch two more points! Chasing 135, Uthappa showed one more failure in his batting. He was caught behind of Nehra for 1 in the first over. The two experienced men--Kallis and Dravid took the responsibility on their shoulders. Dravid was caught and bowled off Nagar for well made 38 off 34 balls. RC were 72 for 2 in 12.3 overs, requiring 63 in 45 balls.

Kallis and Taylor took the score closer to the target. The 29-run partnership was broken by Nagar. Taylor going for hat-trick sixes was caught just inside the rope by Vettori for 25. He hit a four and 3 sixes in his 12-ball innings.

Earlier, DD deciding to bat first, lost Sehwag and Manhas in the first over for duck. Praveen Kumar gave the start the RC needed. Gambhir and DeVilliers added 36 for the 3rd wicket. Gambhir fell at the end of powerplay for 27 and he scored the only six of the Delhi innings.

Dinesh Karthik is having a decent tournament so far. He scored valuable 31 and became the top scorer for Delhi. Nagar scored 20 and also picked two wickets in his bowling.

Match 21: DD v. DC: Dilshan puts break to DC's 5th continuous win!

What a performance by Dilshan. He is the man for DD for this season. Chasing 150, Gambhir and Sehwag contribution's better in this match. They added 30 for the first wicket with Sehwag scoring 20 and Gambhir 17. Sehwag played beautiful shots in his 20 with 4 fours. He was over ambitious and played his favorite back-foot cut which went straight to Gibbs at point.

deVilliers and Gambhir fell immediately adding pressure to the team at 49 for 3. Dinesh Karthik joined Dilshan and built a good partnership, need of the hour. At strategic break, DD needed 79 from 60 balls.

The momentum started when Karthik hit a six to square leg of Rohit Sharma. Dilshan took his turn and hit six of Dwyne Smith. The next 2 overs bowled by Ojha and Venugopal were good for DC as they gave away just 8 runs.

Equation changed to 48 off 5 overs. Karthik played a beautiful shot of the hips to mid wicket boundary in the 2nd ball of Edwards over. He gave away 10 runs in that over including a wide.

Venugopal's over turned the match in favor of DD as Karthik hit a two, a four and a single in the first four balls. Dilshan hit a flat six over mid wicket and then a four through covers. This over reduced 17 runs from the target and changed the equation to 21 from 18 balls.

Crucial blow came in when Ojha trapped Karthik in front of the wicket in the first ball of the 18th over. His bowled a good tight spell with just 4 runs and turning the match in favor of DC.

17 from 12 balls, and the ball was given to Edwards, main strike bowler.

Dilshan hit four of the first ball between mid off and extra cover. The second ball was a wide down the leg side. The re-bowled second ball was a good bouncer and hit the side of Dilshan's helmet.

The third ball was a no ball, overstepped in anxiety and emotions. The ball went for a four over mid wicket. Free hit went for 2 runs. Last ball was a short ball, Dilshan tactically stayed in the crease and pulled it over squard leg for a winning six. What a match for Dilshan? He turned the match for DD and pulled it from DC. He put a break on DC's winning sequence! Nannes was declared man of the match for his 2 for 16 of 4 overs.

Earlier, put into bat, Gilly and Gibbs didn't start the innings well. Gilly was caught behind in the first over for 8, though he hit 2 fours in it. Gibbs went for a duck. A 65-run partnership for the 5th wicket between Suman and Smith gave DC a chance to put a respectable total on the board. Venugopal added 16 for his part.

Nannes and Nehra picked 2 wickets each for DD.

Match 11: KXI v. RC: Bopara Stars in XI's First Win! Praveen Messes it Up for RC!

What's happening in RC camp? Even Pietersen is not sure and that's why he said, "I don't know mate." They were better during the powerplay in the match against Kings XI Punjab. The match was almost in the hands of Royall Challengers until Bopara and Yuvaraj smashed the last few overs for important boundaries and sixes.

Earlier, RC reached their highest total of this season scoring 168. Once again, Kevin Pietersen fell for a duck. Ryder scored useful 32, while his other opening partner Uthappan scored a duck.

Kings XI scored their first win of this season losing both of their earlier matches under D/L Method due to rain. They lost it against Delhi and against Kolkata.

Bopara top scored with 84 off 59 balls and helped KXI register their first win in three matches. In the last 10 overs, KXI required 89 runs with 9 wickets in hand.

Kumble took the crucial wicket of Sangakkara for 26. Last 5 overs required 60 runs and the 16th over from Praveen Kumar in which Bopara scored all the 19 runs which changed the equation to 41 in 24 balls. Kallis bowled the 17th and gave 13 runs including two fours by Yuvaraj.

The last 18 balls required 28 runs. Ryder's over contributed 17 to the total which included 2 sixes by Bopara. The last 12 balls required 11 runs. Kallis provided break through by taking the wicket of Bopara, who did not read the slower ball and edges it to deep midwicket where Ryder took a sliding catch. But, the wicket came too late in the innings Yuvaraj scored a four and a six of the last ball of the over to give KXI their first winning point.

Earlier, for RC, though Uthappa was out for a duck, Kallis and Ryder consolidated the innings. They added 42 for the 2nd wicket in 25 balls, but both Ryder and Pietersen fell in the same over. Taylor contributed 35 and took the final score to 168. Abdulla picked 4 wickets while Irfan Pathan picked 3.
