Match 4 : Deccan Chargers vs Knight Riders

Posted by admin | April 21, 2008 .

One of the expected matches and two of the stronger teams in the league locked horns. It turned out to be a very low profile encounter but it was a close finish. The Deccan chargers who batted first scored only 110 runs before they lost all the ten wickets in the nineteenth over. Murali Karthik had a wonderful spell of 3-17 and Ajit Agarkar picked up two wickets. The pitch at Eden gardens was badly prepared and Adam Gilchrist remarked that it was not fit for a Twenty 20 match. Andrew Symonds was the only batsman with a notable score of 32.
