Deccan Chargers v Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Kolkata Knight Riders 161/4 (20/20 ov)
Deccan Chargers 150/7 (20.0/20 ov)
Kolkata Knight Riders won by 11 runs
Deccan goofed up the chase big time after a superb fifty from Gilchrist. Laxman, Gibbs, Symonds and Sharma got out to poor shots and they eventually paid the price. Credit to Kolkata's bowlers for not giving up and credit to Owais Shah and Angelo Mathews for stunning counter attacks after Vaas had left Kolkata's innings in disarray. After enduring two poor campaigns, Kolkata will be thrilled with this result.
The presentation ceremony will happen once all the backslapping ends ...
A few awards are being given out, Mathews picks up some cash for hitting the most sixes. Gibbs pockets some moolah for taking a catch, that of Hodge.
"We were in the box seat, great start with the ball and bat but we didn't finish well. We panicked a little bit. It wasn't smart cricket. It was gettable on that wicket, all credit to the Knight Riders," says Gilchrist.
Ganguly: "We were ordinary for the first ten overs in both innings but we pulled back in the last ten. We've got some improvements to make, fielding is an area. We dropped Adam twice and we were lucky to win from there. Owais and Mathews batted outstandingly to take us to 161."

|
 | MK Tiwary | c Sharma b Vaas | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
|
| 0.1 what a start! Soft dismissal there, Vaas drifts on the pads and forces Tiwary to play at it, he gets forward and tamely lobs it to Rohit at midwicket, catching practice there 0/1
|
| BJ Hodge | c Gibbs b Jaskaran Singh | 13 | 9 | 1 | 1 | 144.44 |
|
| 5.1 Deccan are chipping away relentlessly! Jaskaran drops it a fraction short outside off and invites the slash, Hodge gets in position to smack that but finds Gibbs at short point who falls backward after cupping it, great field placement 31/4
|
| SC Ganguly* | c Anirudh Singh b Vaas | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
|
| 0.4 caught first slip! You have to give credit to Vaas for setting it up, he gets another one to move off the seam, this time fuller outside off, draws Ganguly forward and first slip takes it comfortably 0/2
|
| CA Pujara | c Ojha b Singh | 10 | 16 | 2 | 0 | 62.50 |
|
| 4.4 another soft dismissal! RP pitches it up on middle and leg and Pujara was already a couple of paces forward from the crease when he played it, ends up tamely chipping it to Ojha at mid-on 31/3

|
| 5.5 Laxman tries it again but he's holed out this time. Laxman and ugly hoicks don't gel. He cleared his front foot again and tried to bash it over the leg side, the top edge went straight up in the air and Kartik settled under the catch 61/1

|
| 14.1 it does! He sends down a length delivery and Symonds heaves at it, the top edge soars towards midwicket where Ganguly positions himself under the ball. It takes a while to come down but when it does, it lands in Ganguly's safe hands 116/4
|
| RG Sharma | c Hodge b Mathews | 13 | 12 | 2 | 0 | 108.33 |
|
| 16.2 massive wicket! Sharma plays the weirdest of shots, he backs away to a short ball and plays a forehand-ish shot, like a slice, straight to Hodge at mid-off, he had to run a few paces to his right to take the catch, Kolkata are right back in this now 128/5
|
