Chargers ride on Gilchrist’s heroics

Nandita Sridhar

Chennai: Adam Gilchrist’s savagery took Deccan Chargers to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the DLF-IPL Twenty20 match at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Tuesday.

Gilchrist, never inclined at buying time, was severe on Makhaya Ntini. Twenty20 and Chennai’s score agreed well with the left-hander.

The front-foot moved just enough for the execution to materialise. The 36-ball 54 had seven fours and two sixes, and ended when S. Badrinath at point took an excellent catch off Albie Morkel.

With Gilchrist having set it up for the Chargers, Scott Styris ensured the win for the visiting side. It was the Chargers’ second win in seven matches.

The scores: Chennai Super Kings: 144 for seven in 20 overs.

Deccan Chargers: A. Gilchrist c Badrinath b Morkel 54, H. Gibbs c & b Goni 10, S. Styris (not out) 36, Rohit c Badrinath b Muralitharan 23, S. Afridi (not out) 20; Extras: (lb-1, wd-2, nb-2) 5; Total: (for three wkts. in 18 overs) 148.

Fall of wickets: 1-24, 2-78, 3-125.

Chennai Super Kings bowling: Nitini 4-0-37-0, Goni 3-0-15-1, Morkel 4-0-26-1, Joginder 3-0-45-0, Muralitharan 4-0-24-1.
