At Ahmedabad, March 26, 2010. Rajasthan Royals won by eight wickets. ‡Deccan Chargers
148-9 (20 overs) (R. G. Sharma 49; S. W. Tait 3-22); Rajasthan Royals 151-2 (15.4 overs) (M. J.
Lumb 45, Y. K. Pathan 73*). MoM: Y. K. Pathan.
Warne cleverly worked his bowlers around to
restrict the Chargers to a below-par total, which Rajasthan knocked off easily thanks to a sound
start from Michael Lumb and a blitz by Yusuf Pathan, who smashed eight sixes (and two fours) in
his 34-ball stay for an eye-popping strike-rate of 214.70.
