Royals beat Knights for first victory in IPL 3
Rajasthan Royals logged their first points in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a convincing 34-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders here Saturday.
Electing to bat, Rajasthan Royals scored 168 for seven and restricted Knight Riders to 134 for five in their 20 overs.
For Rajasthan Royals, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala made 45 off 36 balls while Naman Ojha (27), Faiz Fazal (31) and Adam Voges (37 not out) chipped in with useful contributions.
The bowlers were up to the task right from the start, not allowing Knight Riders to get off to a flier and then checking the run flow with regular wickets.
Yusuf Pathan (2-23) removed both the openers Manoj Tiwary (11) and Brad Hodge (36) while Munaf Patel and Siddharth Trivedi picked one wicket each. Australian Shaun Tait and Munaf kept it tight towards the end as Knight Riders could never accelerate despite having wickets in hand.
It was the first victory for the Royals in four matches. The winners of the inaugural edition were lagging behind with losses against Mumbai Indians, Delhi Daredevils and Bangalore Royal Challengers.
Knight Riders, on the other hand, after beginning their campaign this season with impressive wins against defending champions Deccan Chargers and runners-up Royal Challengers recorded their second loss, having lost to Super Kings at home four days back.
It was a bit of surprise that Knight Riders did not field Chris Gayle who was available for the match.
Knight Riders got off to a good start with Ashok Dinda (2-28) trapping Michael Lumb lbw with the first ball of the innings. Ojha and Fazal steadied the ship with a 42-run stand before Shane Bond (2-32) dismissed the latter. Fazal hit six boundaries in his 23-ball stay.
Ojha added 30 runs with former Indian Cricket League player Jhunjhunwala, before being run out.
Royals’ star batsman Pathan did not stay for long and Jhunjhunwala, who made 36-ball 45 with five fours, fell to Ishant Sharma (2-33).
Voges gave the late charge with two fours and two sixes in his 22-ball innings.
Knight Riders were too cautious at the start and after losing Tiwary off Pathan in the third over, Hodge and Cheteshwar Pujara (29) took their time in building up the innings without taking any risk.
They reached 65 for one in 10 overs and Pujara was out in the next over. With the asking rate going up and the slow nature of wicket making it difficult for the new batsmen, Knight Riders failed to accelerate.
Skipper Sourav Ganguly was out of sorts in his 29-ball 33 as Royals paceman used the short ball to good effect against the left-hander.
When Pathan rattled the stumps of Hodge, Knight Riders required 74 off 36 balls. Ganguly and Owais Shah (19 not out) looked to play the big shots but were tied down by some good bowling by the Rajasthan Royals with wily Shane Warne rotating them well.
Symonds breaks Chargers jinx against Kings XI
An all-round show by Andrew Symonds helped defending champions Deccan Chargers beat Kings XI Punjab for the first time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) by six wickets at their new found home base here Friday.
Symonds struck a brisk 53 off 38 balls as Deccan Chargers scored 170 for seven in 20 overs. The burly Queenslander, who was also adjudged as the Man of the Match, picked up one for 22 and also took an important catch to dismiss Irfan Pathan, who tried to steal a win with his brilliant 60, but still Kings XI Punjab fell short of the total and could muster 164 for eight in 20 overs.
For Deccan Chargers it was their first win at their home base of Cuttack, after IPL matches were moved out of Hyderabad due to security situations. It was also their maiden win against the Kings XI Punjab in fifth face-off.
Skipper Adam Gilchrist took the Chargers to a flying start with his 33 off 12 balls hitting four fours and two sixes and by the time he departed, they had 43 runs on board in the third over. V.V.S. Laxman (10) also made his way back to the pavilion soon after he was hit on the forearm by Shalabh Srivastav’s wayward throw.
Symonds and Herschelle Gibbs (23) then took the Kings XI bowlers to all parts of the ground with their 55-run stand for the second wicket. Symonds smashed three fours and three sixes during his whirlwind knock. Tirumalasetti Suman also contributed 26 valuable runs at the end as the Chargers put on a challenging total.
Kings XI made a poor start but opener Ravi Bopara (38) continued his good form. Pathan tried to pull off a sensational win with his 29-ball knock hitting five sixes and three fours, but by then the Chargers were on course to deserving victory.
Chennai Super Kings beats Dare Devils in Ipl3 2010
Matthew Hayden unleashed the Mongoose bat on the IPL with a bludgeoning 93 while stand-in captain Suresh Raina kept his cool with a fine unbeaten 49 as Chennai Super Kings chased down a stiff target to beat Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Friday.
Hayden bettered Virender Sehwag's swashbuckling knock earlier to set up Chennai's huge run chase. He missed what would have been his first IPL century by seven runs but his runs had come in manic pace, taking just 43 balls and included seven towering sixes.
Raina joined Hayden when Chennai had lost two early wickets but the stand-in skipper played an admirable support role as Hayden launched into the Delhi bowlers in their chase of 186. Quick wickets towards the end let Delhi in with a chance, but Raina sealed it with a six with five balls remaining.
Earlier, Virender Sehwag slammed a fiery 38-ball 74 to fire Delhi Daredevils to a competitive 185-6. His early onslaught set up the Delhi middle order to provide a late burst which took them to an impressive target after stand-in captain Dinesh Karthik won the toss and opted to bat.
Sehwag lashed 10 fours and three sixes even as Delhi lost opener David Warner early for six. Warner, who had replaced the injured Gautam Gambhir in the line-up, failed to impress in his first game of this season.
Sehwag, however, continued his charge along with Tillakaratne Dilshan, until Muttiah Muralitharan dealt a double blow to get rid of both batsmen in succession. Dilshan contributed just 15 out of their partnership of 67. AB de Villiers was next to go, falling to a diving Suresh Raina catch for two.
Delhi, however, quelled the Chennai fightback as Dinesh Karthik, Mithun Manhas and Rajat Bhatia provided a late surge to the hosts. Manhas scored a quickfire unbeaten 32 while Bhatia slammed 21 from just nine balls.

Dhoni out of IPL for ten days due to elbow injury
Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni has been ruled out of IPL action for the next ten days after suffering an elbow injury when he was struck by Shane Bond during the match against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday.
Dhoni was in visible discomfort when Chennai took the field, collecting throws from the fielders with his left hand. He was declared Man of the Match for a calculated assault on the Kolkata bowlers which fetched 66 runs off just 33 balls.
In the company of S Badrinath, Dhoni added 83 runs in the last six overs as Chennai set their opponents a target of 165 and ran out winners by 55 runs.
Suresh Raina will step into Dhoni's shoes as skipper. Chennai have one win and one loss from two games. Their next encounter is against the Delhi Daredevils at the Ferozeshah Kotla on Friday.
