May 16th 2008 23:20
DELHI 4/194 (Gambhir 79,Dharwan 68 no)
HYDERABAD 9/182 (Sharma 35, Rao 34, Afridi 33 - Mishra 5/17, Maharoof 2/39)
DELHI wins by 12 runs
An entertaining high scoring game - gotta love that. Set up by the high flyiing Delhi top order who bludgeoned 194 for the loss of just 4 wickets. While Sehwag failed his opening partner and top scorer in this competition Gambhir and middle order dynamo Dharwan both scored big fifties to get the sizeable total on the board.
Chasing the target All of the the Deccan chargers top orer got a start but no one scored more than 35 making the task really hard. The lower order collapsed under some great bowling from Mishra who took 5 for 17 and won the Man of the Match. The Deccan Chargers just needed one of the top order to make a 50 and they would have won this game.
The highly fancied team from Hyderabad now look like definitely missing the finals and have been massively dissappointing in this tournament.
Delhi look really threatening with their menacing top order capable of posting big scores and a bowling line up that takes wickets and limits opposing sides. They are looking good for a finals place
