Samuels heaves the final ball to long-on, Pune fall 13 short
Chargers vs Warriors, 42nd match at Cuttack, IPL, May 01 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary
7.50 pm Deccan Chargers have won two out of nine games this IPL and both have been against Pune Warriors. Deccan are still last in the league, while Pune stay seventh. They had an opportunity to move up to third today but fluffed it. The over-rate has been shocking today, we're only 10 minutes away from the start of the next game, and I've got to dash off and do the report for that one. Thank you for all your emails. Don't go too far, though, Delhi v Rajasthan coming up. Cheers.
Sangakkara comes running in from extra cover and dives forward to catch a flat hit, Manhas was aiming for down the ground but ended up slicing the short of a length ball
Two legit balls will win it for Deccan.
Smith slogs across the line towards deep midwicket and sprints for one, he wants the second but Manhas sends him back, Smith wanted the strike
a full ball outside off, Manhas aims for down the ground but gets an outside edge to third man
Seventeen from four ... this ball will be key.
he's carted that high and far over deep square leg, moving across his stumps to heave a length ball with a lot of power
the first ball is terrific and in the blockhole outside off, Mahnas gets beaten
Pune need 23 off the final over. Mahnas will be on strike, Samuels and Parnell are still in the dugout. Veer Pratap to bowl.
or perhaps the game's still open, Smith's blasted the last ball of the penultimate over, another slower one, over the straight boundary
caught at deep midwicket! That's probably the game. Uthappa heaved a slower ball delivered from the back of the hand towards deep midwicket, where Harris, who is on the field for Duminy, leaned forward and caught the ball just before it hit the ground
another slower ball outside off, driven with power towards wide long-off, where White runs to his left and dives to save the boundary
length ball outside off stump, Uthappa moves forward and frees his arms, hitting the ball through the line over long-off, about time too, Pune fans will think
Uthappa comes out but can only mis-time the slower ball through midwicket
the slower ball outside off stump, Smith reaches for it and drives to deep cover
a full toss outside off stump, Uthappa gets beaten
full toss outside off stump, Smith cuts over the infield and Dhawan fumbles on the boundary, Trevor Penney, Deccan's fielding coach, has a chuckle
full ball on the pads, Smith flicks to the fielder at deep backward square leg where the fielder fields awkwardly
length ball around off stump, Smith slogs across the line and hits towards wide long-on
good length ball outside off, Uthappa flat-bats it towards extra cover and runs
a full toss around off stump, Smith moves across and drives through midwicket
now that's a high full toss, above waist for sure, Smith moves across and plays the ball fine past the keeper and to the fine leg boundary
Smith steps out and hits a slower wide ball to the fielder on the sweeper boundary
Over 20 • PWI 173/5
