Hyderabad Heroes v Royal Bengal Tigers

Hyderabad Heroes won by 3 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)

2008/09 season
Played at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad
11 November 2008 - day/night (20-over match)


Royal Bengal Tigers innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
HJH Marshall	run out (Rayudu/†Khaleel)	5	10	6	0	0	83.33
1.6 Sahabuddin to Klusener, disaster strikes. Both the openers are back into the hut now, courtesy a poor piece of running by Klusener. He turns a fuller delivery on the leg stump to deep midwicket, where Rayudu slides and pulls off a good stop. He throws the ball back to the bowler and Marshall, who is almost shaking hands with the batsman has to run back the entire distance and can't quite make it 7/2
D Dasgupta†	c & b Sahabuddin	1	7	4	0	0	25.00
1.4 first blood. Sahabuddin holds back the pace as he delivers a slower delivery on the off stump. Dasgupta, is lured into the stroke as he tamely drives it back to the bowler and has to walk back. 6/1
L Klusener	not out	78	86	54	4	4	144.44

CD McMillan*	c Harris b Abdul Razzaq	1	10	9	0	0	11.11
4.1 short on the off and middle. McMillan, is moving back in an attempt to pull it away but all he manages to get is a top edge and where does it go- straight into the hands of the best fielder in the team, Harris at cover. Tigers are slipping now 10/3
RS Gavaskar	c Reddy b Harris	74	70	47	6	4	157.44
19.5 consolation wicket. Harris pitches one short on the off stump. Rohan makes room and looks to loft it away but does not clear IS Reddy at long off but what an innings from Rohan 155/4
AA Jhunjhunwala	not out	0	1	0	0	0	-

Extras	(lb 1, w 1)	2

Total	(4 wickets; 20 overs)	161	(8.05 runs per over)

Hyderabad Heroes innings (target: 162 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
JP Maher	c Chandana b Klusener	14	22	15	3	0	93.33
5.2 fuller on the middle stump, Maher comes down the track and looks to loft it away but does not time it well as he does not clear Chandana at mid-on and the Tigers have drawn first blood 44/1
I Khaleel†	b Klusener	32	24	20	5	1	160.00
5.4 Khaleel goes for the jugular and fails. He is looking to paddle it away but Klusener, bowls a slower delivery and deceives Khaleel, who is through with the shot as the ball strikes the timber 48/2
AT Rayudu	st †Dasgupta b Singh	14	20	16	0	1	87.50
10.6 outside the off stump, beats Rayudu in air, who comes down the track in a pre-meditated attempt to slog it away and Dasgupta does the rest as he whips the bails away 88/3
Abdul Razzaq	st †Dasgupta b Chandana	26	21	18	1	2	144.44
11.2 Tigers are clawing their way back in as Chandana beats Razzaq in flight and turn as well. Razzaq, is left groping and Dasgupta does no mistakes behind the stumps as he gets his second stumping in two overs 89/4
N Boje	lbw b Chandana	11	20	11	1	0	100.00
15.3 full toss on the middle stump, Boje is looking to sweep it away but is beaten in the air as he is plumb in front 115/5
STR Binny	c †Dasgupta b Eklak Ahmid	45	39	26	2	4	173.07
18.6 outside the off stump and cutting away. Binny, has a swing at it and manages only an outside edge back to the keeper and the match tilts again 156/7

18.1 short outside the off stump, Kemp comes down the track and lofts it straight into the hands of Adams at long off and has to go back 147/6
