11th May - 4 sixes and a commendable 47 runs by Dwayne Smith put Deccan Chargers in a strapping position to defy Rajasthan Royals with a target of 168 runs. Symonds again showed his endurance with a quick 30 runs on board. Playing his first match, Vass also put a six and overall made Deccans in a defensive mode. Yusuf Pathan made a good show with his spin to crack 3 important wickets for the Royals.
In Turn Asnodkar tried hard but was run out when he was at 44. No other batsman from Rajasthan could face Deccans to score even 20 runs. Rohit Sharma proved his high value with 3 wickets for just 12 runs. Royals could score only 113 runs losing the match with 53 runs.
I won the first bet with the triumph of Deccan Chargers. The other bet was total number of wickets from both the teams in their last 10 overs. I was betting for 9-12 range and luckily the sense was correct to make a fall of 11 wickets overall. Good day for me and the Deccans. Shane Warne really needs to do something better to please Shilpa Shetty and Shilpa needs to do for our IPL bet Commissioner…….
