commentary

Over 20. 4 runs. Bowler: Ashish Reddy. Royal Challengers Bangalore: 123/9(rr 6.15)

Reddy to Parameswaran. Seaming in back of a length, middle stump on the back foot Slog, hit body to point for no runs. It is all over and some how Deccan Chargers have managed to beat Bangalore to take their chances of the play-offs away from them. Chennai Super Kings have sneaked through and will have a chance to defend their title. Kohli and the rest of the Bangalores playes cannot belive it! They had one foot inthe door but Dale Steyn, Amit Mishra and young Ashish Reddy shut the door on them. The South African pace man finished with figures of three for eight after his four overs. He got rid of the dangerous Chris Gayle early and it all went in favour of the Chargers from there on. It has been another nail biting finish, but it is not over yet as Rajasthan Royals will be hosting Mumbai Inidians in about 15 minutes.

match report

Royal Challengers Bangalore's hopes of reaching the IPL play-offs were ended after they suffered a nine-run defeat against Deccan Chargers.

The Challengers needed a win to force themselves into the top four and they looked to be in a decent position after winning the toss, with the Chargers slipping to 51 for four on a pitch that suited the bowlers.

But Jean-Paul Duminy blasted four fours and five sixes in his 74 to help Deccan reach 132 for seven. Vinay Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with three for 22.

Bangalore opener Chris Gayle began his innings in typically brash fashion, plundering three fours and two sixes in his 10-ball 27 before he was bowled by Dale Steyn, who took three wickets for just eight runs in his four overs.

Skipper Virat Kohli anchored the Challengers' innings but he departed for 42 and a steady flow of wickets undermined their charge as they fell just short against the IPL's basement side.

Their defeat means Chennai Super Kings will join Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians in the play-offs.
