IPL 2012 – Match 46
Chennai Super Kings v Deccan Chargers
Fri 4 May 2012, 03:30pm BST, 08:00pm local
Chennai Super Kings win by 10 runs
| Chennai Super Kings | 160-6 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Deccan Chargers | 150-5 (20 ovs) |
Over 20. 9 runs. Bowler: Ben Hilfenhaus. Deccan Chargers: 150/5(rr 7.50)
Hilfenhaus to Jhunjhunwala. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot pushing, to backward point for 1 run, fielded by Morkel. Chennai go back to the top four and get back to winning ways. The home side batted well first up and although they stuttered through the middle of their innings that was down to the nature of the pitch as both sides found it difficult against the older ball. Deccan looked well placed until Dhawan was run out at the non strikers end via the boot of Dwayne Bravo. Cameron White gave it his best shot but in the end he ran out of steam and his side fell ten runs short to remain bottom and out of touch of the rest.

IPL 2012 – Match 46
Chennai Super Kings v Deccan Chargers
Fri 4 May 2012, 03:30pm BST, 08:00pm local
Chennai Super Kings win by 10 runs
| Chennai Super Kings | 160-6 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Deccan Chargers | 150-5 (20 ovs) |
The Chennai Super Kings moved into the Indian Premier League play-off places with a 10-run win over rock-bottom Deccan Chargers.
The Super Kings survived a late surge from the rejuvenated Cameron White, who blasted 77 from 53 balls, to end their three-game winless run.
Super Kings top-scorer Faf du Plessis again led the way as his 45 at the top of the order, while solid contributions from India duo MS Dhoni (34) and Suresh Raina (32), ensured a solid total of 160 for six.
White took charge of the chase but when he was run out in the penultimate over the Chargers' hopes were dashed.
White's innings continued his recent renaissance, after his 78 against the Pune Warriors last week, to help end a horror form slump that has seen him dumped as Australia Twenty20 captain and exiled from their limited-overs teams in the past six months.
