Now as the season starts warming in INDIA, IPL also feeling the effect. The matches becomes more tough to win, predication of the its winner is something that fools do, it swings like a sea-saw in favor of the contesting teams and the result can be changed or decided with a single delivery. So every team have to fight from very beginning to last ball of the match.
These things are written here because these are exactly happened in the both two games played today and the situation was like do-or-die for the contestants.
First match was between DELHI DRAEDEVILS and CHENAAI SUPER KINGS. Everyone expected a superb contest because the both team have a troop of blasting batsman like SEHWAG,GAUTAM, DE VILLIER and
HAYDEN , DHONI, FLINTOFF and it also happened what was expected but in a different fashion. DELHI won the toss and as obvious elected to bat first. But the decision gone in vain when BALAJI and GONI took wicket of GAUTI and SEHWAG in their first over. Even GAUTI gone on the first ball of the match with a duck and SEHWAG gone on the last ball of the second over contributing only 6 to the score which was 8/2 in the end of the 2nd over. But this blow doesn’t affect the DAREDEVILS to show ”DARE”. After these tow front was leaded by DE VILLIER and DILSHAN .It was DILSHAN who shown that the attack is the best defense and followed by DE VILLIER. He started smashing and hit sixes and fours all over ground and made a brilliant half-century in jus t 27 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes. The partnership of 68 runs in 6.3 Overs was going fine before DILSHAN given out on a ball of MORKEL . KARTIK came next but at that time DE VILLIER had spent enough time to start blast and once he started his finished unbeaten with 105 in 54 balls and hit 6 sixes and 5 fours in his innings. None among the bowlers was able to stop him. FLINTOFF tried his best but he became most expensive bowler of the match with a figure of 50/0 in 4 overs. KARTIK added useful 18. Once it seemed that score may touch 200 mark but finally it ended at 189/5.
SUPERKINGS were in mood of reply and they also started well . Both opener started blasting from both ends and made score 57 inn just 5 overs . HAYDEN was more aggressive and it seems that a lot of cricket has yet come from him. But a newcomer bowler SANGWAN who was also the hero of U-19 WORLD CUP FINALS gave breakthrough to DELHI and PARTHIV PATEL departed with contributing 16. He again stroke with taking wicket of HAYDEN on score of 57 who was playing a hurricane innings with 5 fours and 3 sixes in 27 deliveries. The score was 90/2 at the end 0f 8 over. Then DHONI and RAINA tried to make a partnership but failed as VETTORI used his experience and taken wicket of DHONI who gone with contributing just 5. Then FLINTOFF came and tried to tickle scoreboard with RAINA and made score to reach 139 before SANGWAN stroked again with wicket of RAINA. He contributed 41 and was looking to score till end . It was the turning of the match as upcoming batsman felt pressure and got out easily in a regular interval. FLINTOFF added just 16 and became victim of NEHRA. GONI hit a six and made match more mysterious but he also can’t handle the pressure and run out in next ball. Next to batsman also returned by getting run out. MORKEL tried his best but CHENNAI lagged by few runs .The scoreboard ended at 180/9.
