A series of self-inflicted dismissals saw the Chennai Super Kings manage just 144 for seven, in the IPL match against the Deccan Chargers at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium. Adam Gilchrist’s savagery took the Chargers to a comfortable seven-wicket win, on Tuesday.
Gilchrist, never inclined at buying time, was severe on Makhaya Ntini. Twenty20 and Chennai’s score agreed well with the left-hander. The license to attack was used to maximum effect. Nitini was censured for his length, when the left-hander struck two sixes, one over mid-wicket and the other over mid-on.
The front-foot moved just enough for the execution to materialise. The 36-ball 54 had seven fours and two sixes, and ended when S. Badrinath at point took an excellent catch off Albie Morkel.
With Gilchrist having set it up for the Chargers, Scott Styris ensured the win for the visiting side. It was the Chargers’ second win in seven matches.
