Deccan have defeated Punjab by six runs. Their first win in five games against this side, and what's more - their first win at any "home" venue in the IPL (and in the Champions League). As the DJ is shouting - "Go Chargers!"

Tragedy for Punjab. Irfan played a blinder and they still fell short, which shows just how badly they went in the first half of the chase. Big problems for them as they look to turn around this IPL, winless after three matches, like Rajasthan Royals.

The points table wears a funny look now, with six teams tied on four points, though they have played a different number of games. Punjab and Rajasthan languish at the bottom of the table. Two of the best teams in IPL 2008 - things have changed drastically in two years.

That concludes our commentary for this game. On behalf of scorer Gopi Rangarajan and the rest of the desk, this is Nitin Sundar signing off. Cheers!

Jaskaran Singh to Sreesanth, FOUR runs

length again, Sree comes halfway down the track again, and carves it over cover yet again, but can only get four of the 11 Punjab need to get on the victory board.

Jaskaran Singh to Sreesanth, FOUR runs

fulltoss again, Sree is out once again and this time swings it away to extra cover for four.

15 off 2. Not possible without extras.

19.4
Jaskaran Singh to Sreesanth, no run

and misses again, length ball, Sree can't make contact. Through to Gilchrist.

19.3
Jaskaran Singh to Sreesanth, no run

lands it this time. Sreesanth charges out again, but its a length ball and he cannot connect. Dot ball.

19.2

Jaskaran Singh to Sreesanth, FOUR runs

Sree jumps out and is susprised by a high fulltoss. Goes for an almighty swing, which somehow connects and inexplicably runs to the third man fence.

Jaskaran Singh to Pathan, OUT

and Irfan goes, what a tragedy! Length ball again on off stump, and Irfan looks for the fence over cow corner, but he has the small matter of getting past that man, Andrew Symonds. Ain't happening today, Symmo takes the catch easily and Irfan has to go. Huge wicket and belatedly, one believes the last nail on the coffin.

Jaskaran to bowl. Hmmm.

Singh to Pathan, 1 run

and he gets the yorker in finally. Irfan squeezes it away to deep point and crucially retains strike for the last over.

Singh to Pathan, 2 runs

it falls in no man's land! Short ball, goes for the pull and top edges it, but there's no one at deep square to take it.

Singh to Pathan, SIX runs

Irfan, I'm your fan! Another big hit, he's turning it on here. Goes over long on this time, the length ball is not working. RP needs to find the yorker.

Singh to Pathan, FOUR runs

expertly threaded through the covers! Full on offstump, Irfan went over cover and found the gap. Superb fifty this.

Singh to Bipul, 1 run

drilled down to long off, only for a single. Pressure's on Irfan.

Singh to Bipul, no run

good ball from RP. On the length, and Bipul can't get it past RP.

full on Bipul's legs and he can't do much with it. Just a single down to midwicket.

Ojha to Pathan, 2 runs

Symmo shows how it is done! Well swept again by Irfan to square leg and Symmo puts in a big dive, running in from midwicket, to stop it from going for four.

Ojha to Pathan, 4 leg byes

wide down the leg and it's taken some pad and run away to the boundary. Hiccups in the Deccan camp!

well hit and very badly fielded at deep midwicket. Down on one knee and hit hard, and it went through the fielder's legs.

Righto, this is not over yet!

Singh to Pathan, FOUR runs

mis-hit this time, its outside offstump and Irfan top-edges the slog this time. It flies to the vacant third man region and goes into the bounday boards after one bounce. Finally some spunk from Punjab

Singh to Pathan, SIX runs

again! Irfan's batted superbly today, and there's no let up, he's sent it in the same direction, flatter and over the ropes
