<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colombo: Hard-hitting West Indies opener Chris Gayle celebrated his 33rd birthday on Friday by telling batsmen how to hit sixes during the ongoing World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.<br /><br />"It takes a bit of strength and once the ball is in your slot you go for it," Gayle said ahead of the West Indies' first match against Australia in Colombo on Saturday.<br /><br />"It's instinct to be honest. You have to let the mind and body flow together. You don't want to get stuck in a two-minded situation.<br /><br />"You just try and be natural out there and things will actually flow for you in the end," Gayle was quoted as saying by the West Indies Cricket Board in a statement.<br /><br />Left-handed Gayle, whose 27 sixes are a tournament record in the World Twenty20, is one of the most feared batsmen in all formats of the game with a penchant for big hits against both pace and spin. His rapid-fire 117 off 57 balls with 10 sixes and seven fours against South Africa in the inaugural World Twenty20 in 2007 remains the highest individual score in the competition.<br /><br />"The key is balance. You have to have good balance to be able to hit a lot of sixes," said the Jamaican, who also has two triple-centuries in Test cricket to his credit.<br /><br />"I pay special emphasis to my balance. You have to realise that bowlers are not always going to make it easy for you. You have to create the shots, so you have to make sure you do it well."<br /><br />Gayle said he looked forward to playing against Australia, who thrashed Ireland by seven wickets in their first game on Wednesday. "The first game is vital," he said.<br /><br />"You don't want to play catch-up cricket in T20, so it's a very big match for us. It will also get our confidence going.<br /><br />"In our team we bat right down, and bowling-wise we have spinners and fast bowlers. The key for us is to get to the second round and try and take it step by step."<br /><br />The West Indies, one of the pre-tournament favourites, play Ireland on Monday.<br /> </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
India will have to play their best cricket to beat defending champions England in their ICC World T20 Group A match at the Premadasa in Colombo on Sunday night.<br />
<br />
It’s the biggest match-up of the 12-team tournament so far. Both teams have qualified for the super-eight stage and though this fact takes a bit of pressure off them, the game is a battle for supremacy. Whoever comes out on top will lead Group A. <br />
<br />
Ahead of the contest, it’s India that look in crisis. Their 23-run win against Afghanistan was far from convincing, a fact admitted by captain MS Dhoni himself. Bowling is actually Dhoni’s gravest concern. The Indian bowlers don’t look equal to the task and the biggest worry is Zaheer Khan who seems to have lost all he is known to possess. It difficult to imagine that he conceded 32 run in three overs against the Afghan batsmen still in their salad days. India need him to fire on Sunday if they are to get the better of Stuart Broad’s men.<br />
<br />
India’s batting looks in relatively decent shape with Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and Dhoni looking in solid nick. However, there is a slight concern with the openers. Virender Sehwag and Gautam have been a bit out of form of late, and they need to get it right against England. A good start can do wonders to the team.<br />
<br />
England, on the other hand, were mighty convincing during their 116-run win against Afghanistan the other night. The way Luke Wright - until a few weeks ago not even starter in this side - batted for his unbeaten 99 showed that he seems to finally have come of age as an international cricketer. He has long been tipped as a T20 specialist but it’s only recently that he has started living up to that reputation. England also have some really exciting youngsters in Alex Hales, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow who have been tipped as the next big things in English cricket.<br />
<br />
England’s batting is nowhere near as experienced as India’s but it has enough firepower to give India a good run for their money. What gives England the upper hand is their world-class bowling. Steve Finn, Jade Dernbach, Graeme Swann and Broad himself seem to be a cut above Zaheer and company. Then they have allrounders like Wright and Samit Patel to send down a few useful overs.<br />
<br />
The match also revives the great rivalry between Yuvraj and Broad. Remember, it was Yuvraj who hit the England bowler for six consecutive sixes in an over in the inaugural World Twenty20 in South Africa in 2007. Broad has since matured into a world class bowler, while Yuvraj has recently come back from cancer. It can’t be said he is the same player he was five years ago, still old rivalries can sometimes bring out the best in you. Yuvraj’s fans would hope that that happens.<br />
<br />
As far as head-to-head is concerned, England enjoy a handsome lead. In four ties so far, they have lost to India just once - also winning the last three encounters.<br />
<br />
Probable XIs:<br />
<br />
India: 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Rohit Sharma, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 Suresh Raina, 7 MS Dhoni (capt/wk), 8 Irfan Pathan, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 R Ashwin, 11 L Balaji<br />
<br />
England: 1 Craig Kieswetter (wk), 2 Alex Hales, 3 Luke Wright, 4 Eoin Morgan, 5 Jos Buttler, 6 Jonny Bairstow, 7 Samit Patel, 8 Stuart Broad (capt), 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Stuart Finn, 11 Jade Dernbach<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hambantota: South Africa captain AB de Villiers hit a breezy 30 and his seamers pinned down Sri Lanka batsmen in a comfortable 32-run win over the hosts in a rain-shortened World Twenty20 match on Saturday.<br />
<br />
De Villiers faced 13 balls and led from the front with a four and two sixes in South Africa's healthy 78 for 4 after rain reduced the last Group C match to seven overs per side. Dale Steyn (2 for 10) bowled well upfront as the hosts finished at 46 for 5.<br />
<br />
The result did not affect both the teams from advancing to the Super Eights after both recorded victories over Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka defeated the African team by 82 runs while South Africa won by 10 wickets.<br />
<br />
Sri Lanka will be placed in Group 1 of the Super Eights while South Africa will be in Group 2. </div>

Hambantota: South Africa produced a clinical performance to knock Zimbabwe out of the ICC World Twenty20 with a comfortable 10-wicket victory in a lop-sided Group C match here on Thursday. Zimbabwe crashed out of the event after slumping to their second defeat in the tournament having lost to hosts Sri Lanka by 82 runs in the tournament opener.<br /><br />As expected, both Sri Lanka and South Africa, who face each other in their last group match here on Saturday, have progressed to the Super Eight stages from the pool. Opening their campaign in tournament, South Africa first restricted Zimbabwe to 93 for 8 after inviting the opposition to bat and then piled up the runs without breaking a sweat.<br /><br /> Richard Levi smashed his way to a 44-ball unbeaten 50 while Hashim Amla remained not out on 32 from 33 balls as South Africa chased down the target with 44 balls to spare.<br /><br />With South Africa just needing six to win, Zimbabwe squandered the only chance of picking up a wicket the got in the match when Vusi Sibanda dropped Amla at point of Kyle Jarvis. Earlier, Jacques Kallis stole the show with four wickets as a pace inspired South Africa restricted minnows Zimbabwe to the paltry total.<br /><br />Kallis utilised the lively pitch at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Stadium to perfection and scalped four wickets for 15 runs to rock the Zimbabwe innings. He was ably supported by pace duo of Morne Morkel (2 for 16) and Dale Steyn (1 for 9), who produced a lethal opening spell to dismantle the Zimbabweans.<br /><br />Zimbabwe's struggle can be ascertained from the fact that only two of its batsmen -- Craig Ervine (37) and Stuart Matsikenyeri (11) -- managed double figures. Put into bat, Zimbabwe found the going tough as Morne did the early damage by picking up two wickets in his first two overs.<br /><br />Morne first went through the defence of opener Sibanda in the second over and then came back to induce an edge from Zimbabwe skipper Brendan Taylor which was gleefully accepted by South Africa captain AB de Vielliers.<br /><br />Morne's brother Albie also found himself among wickets in his opening over when he had Hamilton Masakadza caught by Levi at mid-on as Zimbabwe slumped to 16 for three.<br /><br />Top-scorer Ervine and Matsikenyeri then tried hard to resurrect the innings with a fighting 35-run fourth wicket partnership before Jacques Kallis' double blow in the 11th over put paid to their efforts.<br /><br />In the fourth ball of the 11th over, Kallis first accounted for Matsikenyeri, who hit one straight to Robin Peterson at extra cover, and then had Elton Chigumbura plumb in front of the wicket with his next delivery.<br /><br />But a hat-trick eluded the veteran South African as Graeme Cremer managed to keep the next ball away. Kallis returned to the attack in the later stages of the innings to pick up two more wickets -- Cremer and Ervine -- both of whom perished in identical fashion giving away simple catches to De Villiers behind the stumps.<br /><br />In between pace spearhead Dale Steyn also registered his name in the scoreboard, dismissing Prosper Utseya who was brilliant caught by a diving de Villiers to his left.</div>

As so often happens when ICC tournaments begin, the big question hanging over South Africa is: will they choke in the knock-outs?
The C word has unfortunately become synonymous with South African cricket sides, for reasons that are well documented. Going into the 2012 ICC World Twenty20, the expectations are higher because South Africa are now the No. 1 ranked Twenty20 side; in fact they rule the roost in all three formats. South Africa have always been rated as one of the favourites in major ICC tournaments, but have only one piece of silverware to show – the inaugural Champions Trophy way back in 1998 in Bangladesh.
In the last three editions of the World Twenty20, South Africa have ultimately disappointed. In the first edition in 2007, South Africa failed to qualify for the semi-finals. In the last match where they needed a win badly but lost to India by 37 runs. Most embarrassingly, the tournament took place in South Africa and Graeme Smith’s team was playing in familiar conditions with a huge fan base.
In the second edition in 2009, South Africa made the semis but lost to Pakistan by seven runs. A year later in the West Indies, they again failed to reach the semis. This habit of stumbling when it matters most has haunted South Africa for two decades, most famously in the semi-finals of the 1999 World Cup. In what ranks as one of the most heart-breaking incidents in cricket history, Lance Klusener was run out against Australia in that ‘famous’ tied match and South Africa were eliminated from the tournament. Other famous examples include the 1996, 2003, 2007 and 2011 World Cups and the 2002 and 2009 Champions Trophies.
In 2012, South Africa are again are rated as one of the hot contenders for the title. They have a very formidable side, which has the ability to go all the way. With Richard Levi opening the innings, South Africa possess a swashbuckling talent as well as the owner of the fastest century in Twenty20 internationals. Throw in a red-hot Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers and you get a superb top four. With Albie Morkel to follow down the order, South Africa possess one of the biggest hitters of a cricket ball.
In their bowling department they have Dale Steyn, currently ranked at the top among all the bowlers. To support him with the new ball are Morne Morkel and Lonwabo Tsotsobe, followed by experienced spinners in Johan Botha and Robin Peterson who both stand to feature heavily in the team’s fortunes in Sri Lankan conditions.
Coming off a long but successful tour of England, the physical challenge for de Villiers’ men will be to adjust to the conditions – the slow and sluggish pitches. But as crucial as conquering the conditions will be for South Africa to vanquish any demons in their heads. If they can do that, this could be the year they finally win an ICC trophy. </div>

Yuvraj Singh, Lakshmipathy Balaji help India edge out AfghanistanClick to expand inShare Colombo: Spirited Afghanistan gave India run for their money but ended up being bowled out 23 runs short of India's target of 159 in Colombo on Wednesday in the ICC World Twenty20. Laxmipathy Balaji and Yuvraj Singh picked three wickets each as Afghanistan were bundled out for 136 in 19.3 overs. Balaji struck in the fourth over to give India an early breakthrough as the pacer sent back dangerous looking Mohammad Shahzad (18) who departed trying to up the ante but only managed to find Yuvraj Singh. Afghanistan skipper Nawroz Mangal also played a fighting knock but was sent back by Yuvraj. Mangal hit a six and a four in his 18-ball innings as the minnows are reduced to 52 for 2 in 7.1 overs. Yuvraj then dismissed Asghar Stanikzai (6) and Karim Sadiq (26) in successive balls to rock the Afghanistan run chase. Afghanistan lost half their side for just 76 runs in 12.1 overs. After a steady start, the Afghans lost three wickets for one run in six balls to be reduced to 76 for 5 from 75 for 2. Then middle-order batsman Mohammad Nabi took the fight to the Indians with a 17-ball 31, giving the minnows a real chance of an upset, but with his demise at the hands of R Ashwin, the task became too big and Afghanistan were bowled out for 136 with three balls to spare. Balaji (3 for 19) finished off the Afghanistan innings with a twin strike in consecutive balls in the final over. Earlier, Virat Kohli struck a fluent fifty and was well supported by Suresh Raina, who scored 38 to take India to 159 for 5 against Afghanistan. Electing to field first, Afghanistan got off to a fantastic start as Shapoor Zadran dismissed both the openers - Gautam Gambhir (10) and Virender Sehwag (8) - for 22 runs. Gambhir's dismal run with the bat continued as he fell to Shapoor in the third over, getting an inside edge that crashed into the middle stump. Sehwag soon followed him back into the pavilion as he nicked an outswinger by Shapoor to the wicket-keeper. Kohli and Yuvraj Singh then joined forces to take India forward, adding 46 runs for the third wicket. Yuvraj hit a six in his 20-ball 18 knock as he tried to steady the Indian innings alongside Kohli after early blows. He was finally dismissed by Karim Shadiq, caught by Shapoor at short third-man. It was mainly due to Kohli's 39-ball 50 and a useful 32-ball 38 from Suresh Raina that helped India set a decent, if not an impressive, target against the minnows. Skipper MS Dhoni provided the final flourish, ending the innings with a four and six off the last two deliveries to remain unbeaten on 18 from nine balls. The Indians were also helped by some poor effort on the field by Afghanistan as they dropped as many as four catches, with Raina being dropped on two occasions. Kohli has now completed a hat-trick of T20 international half centuries, having crossed 50 against Sri Lanka and New Zealand in the two earlier T20 internationals.</div>

Even after showing the latest T20 jerseys few days back, Indian
players will have to wear the same old jerseys in which they won the
50-over World Cup. The decision was taken by BCCI so that good luck
favors team India in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2012. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It’s our decision to ask the players to wear the jersey which they
had used during the 2011 World Cup,” Indian cricket board official
Ratnakar Shetty told the the Times of India newspaper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier Indian captain MS Dhoni has praised the new T20 jerseys and
said it will help people differentiate between 50-50 overs and 20-20
overs games.</div>

A team‟s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs

<div class="news-body">
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of
overs, the calculation of the net run rate of both teams shall be based
on the full quota of overs to which the batting team would have been
entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.
</div>
<div class="news-body">
Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose
of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result
is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will
be accredited with Team 2‟s Par Score on abandonment off the same
number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with
Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match,
Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target Score
for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach
the target.
</div>
<div class="news-body">
In circumstances where a match (and the points for such match) is
awarded to a team as a result of the other team‟s refusal to play,
either by the match referee in accordance with Law 21.3 (a)(ii) as read
with playing condition 21.3 or in accordance with the provisions of the
relevant event agreements signed by the participating teams, the net run
rate of the defaulting team shall be affected in that the full 20 overs
of the defaulting team‟s innings in such forfeited match shall be taken
into account in calculating the average runs per over of the defaulting
team over the course of the relevant portion of the competition. For
the avoidance of doubt the runs scored and overs bowled in such
forfeited match will not be taken into account when calculating the net
run rate of the team to whom the match was awarded.

<b>New Delhi:</b> Kapil Dev is certainly a relieved man after being
back into the BCCI fold but the legendary allrounder still has
reservations if one terms his comeback as getting "amnesty from BCCI."
</div>
"I never understood whether the word amnesty is correct or not. May be
I am not very intelligent but I checked the dictionary to find the
meaning," said Kapil with a tinge of sarcasm on the sidelines of
relaunch function of popular sports magazine 'Sportstar'.<div id="below">
People had associated the word 'rebel' with Indian Cricket League but
the 53-year-old said that his stint at the unsanctioned league had been a
learning experience for him.
</div>
<div id="below">
"Whatever people might think, but personally I have learnt a lot. Now I
feel more experienced and confident about taking up any responsibility
that I am entrusted with," the former India captain said.
</div>
<div id="below">
He agreed that there were misunderstandings with the BCCI but those have been sorted out now.
</div>
<div id="below">
"I have always believed that there isn't a single thing that can't be
sorted out if two people sit across the table and talk it out. Even
Indo-Pak issue could be sorted out if there is proper dialogue. I have
never disregarded BCCI as it was, and will remain, my parent body. As a
sportsman, my aim was to help sportspersons grow. The idea is to see
what is good for sport rather than what's good for individuals," Kapil
said.
</div>
<div id="below">
When asked whether he is expecting any specific role from the Board,
Kapil was non-committal,"I don't know. It's for them to decide."</div>

<span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">NAGPUR: He has this
no-airs persona about himself - no celeb tantrums and no pretensions.
From 'playing the shots' as one of India's most stylist batsmen to now
'calling the shots' as a commentator, <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Sanjay-Manjrekar">Sanjay Manjrekar</a> has slalomed a lot over last two decades.<br /> <br />
Nothing much, though, has changed the way he thinks about the game. He
has an eagle eye on the Indian cricket but rarely does he make heavy
weather of the game.<br /> <br /> While the gossip mills are working overtime regarding the tumultuous relationship between <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni">MS Dhoni</a> and <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Virender-Sehwag">Virender Sehwag</a>, Manjrekar maintained that the 'spat' was merely a storm in the teacup.<br /> <br />
"I feel these things are custom-made by the media. When the actual
on-field cricket is not active, these reports always crop up. Gossips
always fill in the slot allotted for cricket. I honestly think the media
is blowing the issue out of proportion," said Manjrekar while talking
to the reporters on the sidelines of a function organized by IMA on
Sunday.<br /> <br /> Manjrekar also asserted that once the game will resume,
the controversy will die its natural death. "Even the people reading
stuffs like these will forget the issue once the cricketing season
starts next month," he added.<br /> <br /> When asked about India's chances
in the forthcoming Twenty20 World Cup, given that it's happening in the
sub-continent, Manjrekar again kept it simple. "I feel <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Twenty20-World-Cup">Twenty20 World Cup</a> is kind of a lottery. It's such a small tournament lasting just two weeks, that you just cannot predict who's going to win.<br /> <br />
"I also feel that T20 World Cup has arrived quite early. We should have
given a bit more time for T20s to establish as a concept before dishing
out the World Cup," he added.<br /> <br /> Manjrekar has always been of the opinion that the <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/BCCI">BCCI</a> should use Rahul Dravid's cricketing brain for the betterment of the game.<br /> <br />
"He (Dravid) is a role model for every youngster. Though we hardly read
him opining about certain things, I believe he has a great cricketing
brain. Once he'll be given charge of certain things, I am sure, he'll do
tremendously well," said Manjrekar.<br /> <br /> The BCCI is not a big fan of <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DRS">DRS</a>
and so is Sanjay Manjrekar. "I think DRS shifts the focus to the
accuracy of umpiring decisions than the actual game. It would have been a
wise idea to introduce the DRS had the success percentage of umpiring
decisions been 50% or 60%. Right now, it's above 94%. Then, what is the
need of DRS," he signed off.</span></div>

Boucher was forced to retire from international cricket on Tuesday
after suffering a lacerated eyeball during South Africa's tour match
against Somerset.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Always under Boucher's shadow, 31-year-old Tsolekile made his Test
debut against India in 2004 but was left out of the squad since playing
his third and last Test against England in the same year.</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
"Thami has done very well with both the Lions (his South African
franchise) and South Africa A for a couple of seasons, culminating in
his South African record eight catches in an innings this past week,"
CSA selection convener Andrew Hudson said.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
"With AB de Villiers also able to fill the role of wicketkeeper in the
Test series it gives the tour selectors options in this important
position," he added.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
South Africa will play three Tests against England with the first Test set to start on July 19 at The Oval in London.</div>

<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/44111.html" target="new">Mark Boucher</a>'s
participation for the Test series against England is in doubt after he
suffered a "significant injury," to his left eye during the tour match
against Somerset. Boucher had to leave the field at the end of the 46th
over when a googly from Imran Tahir hit the stumps and a dislodged bail
struck Boucher in the left eye. Photographs showed Boucher bleeding from
the eye as he left the field.
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
He will undergo surgery on Monday night to determine the seriousness of
the injury - which was diagnosed as laceration of the sclera, the white
part of the eye - but it looms as a potential career-ender as Boucher
said the tour of England would be his last.
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
"I don't think he will be ready for the first Test and I don't know
about the series," Moosajee said. "I would rather like to see the
outcome of the surgery first before saying anything further. At the
moment, the concern is more Mark Boucher the patient, rather than
whether he is going to partake in this tour."
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
Moosajee said Boucher was in his usual "fighting spirits," but in a lot
of pain. "When he got hit it caused dizziness out there and he had to
helped off. They have also given him something to control the pain
before he has the surgery."
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
However, South Africa appeared resigned to being without Boucher, who
had been set to reach 150 Tests at Lord's, after bowling coach Allan
Donald said they were "gutted," by the news. "I've never seen Mark
Boucher as fit, as motivated or as determined for one series," Donald
said. "This is his last series and he wants to go out on a high with the
150th Test. The way he led in Switzerland was magnificent. His
leadership and what he has in team meetings is something else. I'm sure
Mark would want us to refocus but this is a massive loss for us."
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
Donald named AB de Villiers as "a more than accomplished keeper," who
could do a stand-in job, as he did in this match, but it is expected
that South Africa will call up a replacement wicket-keeper if needed.
Thami Tsolekile, who was nationally contracted from April 1, is the
likeliest candidate.
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
Tsolekile recently played for the South Africa A side in the two
unofficial Tests against Sri Lanka A and has also been named in the
squad to travel to Ireland to shadow the senior side from the third
Test.
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
Tsolekile last played for South Africa in 2004 when he represented the
country in three Tests including one against England at Port Elizabeth.
Since then, he has changed franchises, from the Cape Town based Cobras
to the Johannesburg team, Lions, where he has spent the last three
seasons. Tsolekile was earmarked as the successor to Boucher, who
indicated he would retire after the England series, when he was awarded a
central contract and was chosen to play for the A side.
</div>
<div class="news-body" style="text-align: justify;">
He equalled the South African record for the most catches in a
first-class innings when he claimed eight in the first innings of the
match against Sri Lanka A, which ended in a draw on Monday.

<div class="line_hight" id="article_contener" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Deccan Chargers innings:</b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>15th over: 101 for 8</b> Jadeja in his elements today. After
hitting a 25-ball 48, he strikes with four wickets. First he has Gony
caught by Raina and then gets Teja stumped. His figures now reads 4 for
14.</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>14th over: 99 for 6</b> Things are out of Deccan's reach now as
they lost their sixth. Daniel Christian goes for a big heave but misses
the slog sweep, and Bravo takes another catch in the deep. Jakati gets
his second wicket.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>13th over: 95 for 5</b> Jadeja has been bowling well. The left-arm
orthodox is not giving away an easy runs. A six off the first ball, a
dot on the second, and Chipli misses out on the third and is cleaned up.
Just another single off the last three balls.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
12th over: 88 for 4: Jakati gets his first as Deccan's captain White
also departs. White tries to repeat the six off the previous ball but
finds Raina at long-off.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>C White c Raina b Jakati 23 (16)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>11th over: 78 for 3</b> Now Jadeja comes into attack. A four by
Patel, who goes back and pulls it over the deep square leg boundary,
then another dot which is followed by the wicket. Patel goes for a slog
sweep but chops the ball back on to his stumps. An excellent over by
Jadeja.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>P Patel b Jadeja 20 (17)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>10th over: 73 for 2</b> The first ball is a dot as White makes room
for himself but doesn't connect it. A similar attempt on the next and
the ball goes past Bravo for a four. Another dot and a boundary off the
next two balls and another two singles.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>9th over: 63 for 2</b> The asking rate is hovering around 12 now.
Both Parthiv Patel and Cameron White are struggling with their timings.
Only six singles off Raina's second over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>8th over: 57 for 2 </b> It's just not happening for Deccan. An
eight-run over is not going to help their cause of chasing a massive
total. They need a very big over that will give them the much-needed
momentum.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>7th over: 49 for 2</b> It has happened quite often that Raina picks
up a wicket in his first over, and today is no different. Dhawan goes
for the slog sweep but finds Bravo in the deep. A very good over by
Raina, who gives away just four runs.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>S Dhawan c Bravo b Raina 21 (18)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>6th over: 45 for 1</b> Patel's chip over the cover region brings up
his first boundary. Another four by Dhawan, who flicks Bollinger
through the mid-wicket region. Another two singles as 10 runs come off
this over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5th over: 35 for 1</b> Just three runs are conceded by Ashwin in
his third over. It's a bit strange that Dhoni has given three
back-to-back overs to Ashwin, who has just given away 12 runs so far.
Deccan batsmen need to fire now.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4th over: 32 for 1</b> Dhoni brings Bollinger, who after getting
smacked for two consecutive boundaries by Harris, replies by getting him
caught by the captain. Deccan lose their first wicket.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>D Harris c Dhoni b Bollinger 15 (14</b>)
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3rd over: 21 for no loss</b> Five singles off Ashwin's second over.
It's time to attack for the Deccan's openers, who are not getting their
timings right. The asking rate crosses 10.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
</b></div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
2nd over: 16 for no loss</b> Morne Morkel comes into attack. Three
singles off the first three balls and a dot off the fourth. Then two
boundaries to Shikhar Dhawan. First is a thick inside edge past Dhoni
and the second one is a flick through the square leg region. 12 runs
from Morkel's first over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1st over: 4 for no loss</b> Daniel Harris starts with a boundary.
Ashwin gives him a little width outside off and he cuts past the
backward point and short third man. Five dot balls follow as Ashwin
mesmerises Harris with his variety. An unsuccessful appeal for a catch
that comes off the batsman's pads finishes Ashwin's first over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Chennai Super Kings innings:</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>20th over: 193 for 6</b> What a last over. 23 runs come off it.
Bravo takes Gony to the cleaners, hitting the medium-pacer for three
huge sixes. Last five overs have produced 72 runs for CSK. Bravo
finishes 43 not out off 18 balls. Gony goes for 54 in his four.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>19th over: 170 for 6</b> Two singles off the first two balls
follows by a miscued six between long-on and long-off. Another maximum
by the West Indian, who clears his front leg to deposit Sudhindra's
full-length ball over the deep mid-wicket fence. Chennai are now
targeting well over 170.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>18th over: 153 for 6</b> Jadeja's cameo ends. While trying to flick
a Steyn's delivery, Jadeja's toe touches the off stump. A sad dismissal
to a brilliant innings. Steyn also finishes his four-over spell, giving
away 25 picking up two wickets.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>R Jadeja hit wicket b Steyn 48 (29)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>17th over: 145 for 5</b> Not so good return for Sudhindra, who is
clobbered for a mammoth straight six by Jadeja. Another six runs have
been taken from this over. Chennai are looking good to post something
around 170. But a lot depends on this pair of Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>16th over: 133 for 5</b> Four singles off the first four balls and
Jadeja thinks enough is enough. The diminutive batsman chips out and
whacks the fifth through covers for a four and sends the last ball
through mid-wicket for another boundary.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>15th over: 121 for 5</b> Steyn returns. A first-ball, follows by a
quickly-taken two and another dot and another two off the next two.
Dhoni doesn't get under the ball and hits it straight to Dan Harris. A
crucial wicket at this stage of the game.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>MS Dhoni c Harris b Steyn 7 (9)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>14th over: 115 for 4 </b> Great over for CSK. Jadeja takes 18 off
Ankit Sharma's third over. The risk of bringing on a left-arm spinner
against the left-handed Jadeja doesn't pay off. Jadeja hits Sharma for a
four and two sixes, giving the Chennai innings the much-needed boost.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>13th over: 97 for 4:</b> Christian gets his second wicket.
Badrinath slices an outside off delivery straight to backward point
fielder Chipli, who takes a sharp catch.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>S Badrinath c Chipli b Christian 25 (20) </b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>12th over: 93 for 3</b> Gony comes back into the attack and goes for seven in his third over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>11th over: 85 for 3</b> Both Badrinath and Jadeja are excellent
runners between the wickets. As boundaries are hard to come by, the two
batsmen are scampering for runs. Sudhindra sends one down the leg side
for a wide and a single off the next ball by Badrinath. Another single
and a four by Badrinath on the fourth. The right-hander makes room and
hits a shot delivery by Sudhindra between the mid-on and mid-wicket
region. Ten runs come off this over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>10th over: 75 for 3</b> Christian has just given 10 runs in his two
overs so far. This over has produced two of those. Jadeja joins
Badrinath. CSK are hoping these two to fire.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>9th over: 71 for 3</b> The danger man goes. Trying to clear the
boundary one more time, du plessis hits a pitched-up ball into the hands
of Christian at long-on. TP Sudhindra, playing his first IPL game, gets
a wicket on the very delivery. Except a four off the last ball, the
bowler gives only four more runs. Eight runs and a wicket. A good start
by Sudhindra.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>F du Plessis c Christian b Sudhindra 39 (25)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>8th over: 63 for 2</b> Badrinath joins du Plussis in the middle.
Left-arm orthodox Ankit Sharma returns. A single follows by another
straight six by du Plessis, his fourth six and may be the longest of
all. But a good comeback by the bowler as only one run comes off the
next four deliveries.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>7th over: 55 for 2</b> After Dan Christian, another Australian,
Daniel Harris, comes into bowl. Three singles on the first three balls,
follows by another cracking six by du Plessis on the fourth. The young
South African batsman is turning it on now. Two two more singles to
finish the over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>6th over: 44 for 2</b> Christian provides the breakthrough. After a
boundary off the first ball, Raina miscues a hoick, lofting the ball
straight up in the air, and the bowler takes a good catch in his
followthrough. Six runs and a wicket. White would be happy with
Christians' effort.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>S Raina c & b Christian 16 (12)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5th over: 38 for 1</b> Great over for CSK. After two runs on the
first three balls, du Plessis opens his shoulders, hits a four and two
sixes off Gony. The first maximum sails over the mid-wicket fence while
the second goes well over the long-off boundary. Was this sort of an
over CSK were looking for? Only time will tell.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4th over: 20 for 1 </b> Runs are coming in singles and doubles.
Good stuff by Deccan bowlers. They are keeping things tight. Another
tidy over from Steyn finishes. Five singles come in his over. Chennai
batsmen should look to attack now.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3rd over: 15 for 1</b> Manpreet Gony has been brought into the
attack. Raina welcomes him with a fierce square drive off the first
delivery. A dot and a single on the next two balls, follows by another
two dot balls and single on the last three. Good comeback by Gony. Only
six runs from his over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2nd over: 7 for 1</b> Seven runs off Steyn's first over. Two dots
balls, a single by du Plessis next ball, a cracking cover drive by
Suresh Raina follows on fourth. Another single off to third and a peach
of a delivery, which lands on a good length and passes the outside edge
of du Plessis' bat, ends a good over.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1st over: 2 for 1</b> A great start from Ankit Sharma. After giving
two runs away to Murali Vijay off the first ball, and sending down
three dot balls, the left-arm spinner Sharma cleans up Vijay on the
fifth. Another dot ball to finish. Vijay flops again.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>M Vijay b Ankit Sharma 2 (5)</b>
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>7:30 p.m.</b> Deccan Chargers' skipper Cameron White won the toss
and asked Chennai Super Kings to bat first in the sixth match of IPL 5
in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
Chennai have kept the same side which took on Mumbai Indians in the
opening game, while Deccan have also got a good mixture of foreign and
Indian players.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Bangalore:</b> A Chris Gayle-less Royal Challengers Bangalore
overcame two tricky situations, the first with the bat and then with the
ball, to open their IPL 5 campaign with a 20-run win over Delhi
Daredevils at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB were struggling for momentum
during their innings, having lost six wickets for 103 runs before AB de
Villiers, who struck an unbeaten 42-ball 64, and Vinay Kumar (18) put
on 54 in 5.3 overs. Their bowlers, despite the loss of Virender Sehwag
for a first-ball 0, were under a bit of pressure as Naman Ojha and Aaron
Finch threatened to wage a counter-attack but in a crafty Muttiah
Muralitharan the home team had the desired wicket-taker. Murali, in his
first IPL match for RCB, took 3 for 25 as Delhi were kept to 137 for 7,
falling to their first defeat at this venue.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the absence of Gayle (injured) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (national
duty), Bangalore opened with Cheteshwar Pujara and the Victoria
allrounder Andrew McDonald, who powered a 37-run opening stand in four
overs. A flowing drive over extra cover for six off IPL debutant Doug
Bracewell was an appetizer for what McDonald was in the mood for, and in
the third over it was Irfan Pathan who felt his full force. Twenty runs
came in four deliveries as McDonald hammered boundaries past mid-off
and mid-on, dumped a big six over long-on and slapped the final ball
over the covers for four more.</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
Morne Morkel removed Pujara for 11 - pulling to deep square leg – and
added McDonald owing to a stunning piece of fielding from Bracewell, who
made his first impact for Bangalore with a superb one-handed running
catch from midwicket. Given the ball promptly after his athletic effort,
Bracewell had his first IPL wicket when Virat Kohli spooned a catch to
Yogesh Nagar at backward point for 8.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
Matters got worse when Saurabh Tiwary was trapped lbw off offspinner
Glenn Maxwell's first ball in the IPL (59 for 4). Mayank Agarwal –
demoted to the middle order after his previous appearances for RCB – hit
a few lusty blows including a sweet pick-up six off Mornel, but his
aggression consumed him. Looking to hit Shahbaz Nadeem's left-arm spin
for six, he succeeded in picking out Nagar at long-off.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
Luckily for Bangalore, they had de Villiers. Punching the ball around
the park and running superbly between wickets, and setting himself up
for a late surge, de Villiers produced a sparkling half-century. His
first boundary took 20 balls, but de Villiers ensured RCB got at least
one boundary in the 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th over before he tore into
Irfan in the penultimate. When Irfan let loose a full toss outside off
stump, de Villiers astonishingly switched his grip to lap six over third
man. Irfan erred in sending down another full toss, and this time de
Villiers dinked it to third man for four with another reverse-paddle.
The next ball was a far more orthodox shot, as de Villiers swatted a
length ball outside off stump to the square-leg boundary. He only
managed to get on strike for two balls in the final over bowled by
Bracewell, who conceded two fours and took two wickets.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
In the second innings, Zaheer Khan opened the bowling sporting new
straightened hair, but his length was all over the place and Finch
clubbed his first three deliveries for four. Zaheer was lucky to pick up
Sehwag first ball as the Delhi captain slapped a wide ball straight
into Pujara's lap at cover. That brought to the crease Ojha, who began
with a four and six off Vinay and kept the tempo going against Zaheer,
cutting and driving him for boundaries.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
With RCB's medium-pacers having little impact, the turning point came
when Daniel Vettori tossed the ball to Murali, with Delhi well placed at
53 for 1 after seven overs. With his third ball Murali forced Ojha (33)
to cut a catch to Kohli at slip and in his next over trapped Finch lbw
for 25. Then Maxwell lapped Murali to Zaheer at short fine leg, Delhi
slipping from needing 100 from 12 overs with eight wickets in hand to 82
from eight with six wickets left.
</div>
<div id="below" style="text-align: justify;">
Once Agarwal held a blinder of a diving catch running in from long-off
to send back Venugopal Rao, Delhi's hopes lay with Irfan. He managed to
spoil Murali's final over with a four and six, but as wickets tumbled
at the other end the run rate mounted and Delhi ended up 21 runs short
of their target. </div>

The MS Dhoni-led side would like to forget the disappointments of the
opening match when they lost to Mumbai Indians. Their batsmen were found
wanting against the pace of Lasith Malinga and the agility of some of
the Mumbai fielders. Deccan, who finished seventh in the last edition,
will be hoping to make a winning start. In the absence of regular
skipper Kumar Sangakkara, Cameron White will lead Deccan.
