Hyderabad: Jean-Paul Duminy finally came good with a slice of luck as his smashing 54 helped Deccan Chargers post a challenging 175 for five against Delhi Daredevils in what is a must-win game for both in this edition of Indian Premier League.
It was Duminy's power-hitting that saw Chargers score a whopping 108 runs in the last 10 overs after scoring 67 in the first 10.Off-spinner Yogesh Nagar 'dismissed' both Duminy and Daniel Christian (27, 22 balls, 2x4) in the 15th over.
Tragically, on both occasions he overstepped. While Christian got a boundary off the free-hit, Duminy's aerial shot yielded
maximum results.
That over from Nagar cost Daredevils 20 runs and gave the Chargers necessary impetus. While Irfan Pathan (0/18 from 3 overs) and Aavishkar Salvi (1/26 from 4 overs) bowled well, it was Nagar (0/20 from 1 over), Venugopal Rao (0/12 from1 over) and James Hopes (1/29 from 3 overs) who gave away as many as 61 runs in the five overs they bowled between them.
Morne Morkel had a disappointing outing going for 37 from his four overs while Agarkar who got two wickets gave away 29 runs in his four-over spell.
The duo added 71 runs in only 5.3 overs courtesy Duminy who hit as many as four sixes during his 30-ball knock. When he was finally run-out in the 18th over trying to go for a second run, Chargers had reached 158.
Shikhar Dhawan started off on a brilliant fashion with a cover drive off the very first delivery of the match bowled by Morne Morkel. Dhawan who had been a slow starter in the previous matches looked in fine nick as he found the gaps with consumate ease. His opening partner Dwarka Ravi Teja (2) was quickly removed by Aavishkar Salvi.
Dhawan (29, 18 balls, 5x4) was joined by skipper Kumar Sangakkara (44, 36 balls, who launched into Morkel hitting him for three successive boundaries in the sixth over of the innings. The first one was a slog that went over slips. It was followed with a fantastic bowler's back drive and then another lofted drive over mid-off.
Dhawan was out trying to loft Agarkar over mid-on only to offer a simple catch to Salvi.
When Venugopal Rao came in, Sangakkara hit a beautiful cover drive followed with a slog sweep. James Hopes finally got the DC skipper caught by his counterpart in the cover region. However DC's hopes making decisive inroads were dashed by Duminy-Christian duo who tore into the DD bowlers.
