CSK vs Daredevils, 26th match at Johannesburg, IPL, May 02 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary

the last ball runs away for a streaky four, a short delivery takes a top edge to hum over the keeper, that doesn't matter though, Chennai have won by 18 runs to keep the fight for places in the points table very tight

slower ball outside off, Mishra tries to slog it out of the park, but gets beaten

Mishra gets a six, short ball from Balaji, the big heave connects and the ball sails over the square leg boundary

slightly wider, Mishra sticks to his swing-at-everything routine, and again he doesn't get bat on ball

Balaji keeps it in the channel outside off, Mishra swings and doesn't connect again

another wicket goes down, the fat lady is starting to sing, Morkel sends down a full ball on middle and off, Bhatia gives himself room and hacks at it, L Balaji runs across from cover to pouch the mishit

another swing, another miss, the ball sails just over the offstump, Delhi are out of it

Bhatia takes a leaf out of the Mishra book and swipes at it, he is also beaten, this is turning out to be a great over from Morkel

full on middle, Mishra gets across his stumps and flicks it behind square leg for a single

length ball, just outside off, Mishra doesn't bother with seeing the ball and puts in a wild heave, misses the ball completely

fullish ball outside off, driven toward mid-off for a single

Jakati completes a superb spell with another wicket, Sangwan is bowled, he swings and misses, and the stumps are knocked back, Delhi are trying to match Chennai for late collapse

whipped away from middle wicket, but a diving stop at short midwicket means it another dot ball

defended back down the pitch, dot ball

gets a single in front of point

Not very costly at all it turns out as Karthik holes out off the very next ball, a sweep from Karthik gets a top edge and it hovers to Murali at midwicket, who makes no misjudgment. Murali knows it's a big wicket, he jumping around for joy after taking the catch

oh, a poor piece of fielding from Badrinath, Karthik lofted it to long-off, Badrinath came charging in but he comes in too much and the ball sails over his head and goes one bounce over the boundary, that's Karthik's half-century

played with soft hands towards backward point, Bhatia is sent back by Karthik, the throw is fired in and the bails are taken off just as Bhatia makes a despairing dive, third umpire is called for but Bhatia has made his ground

length ball which is defended off the front foot by Bhatia
