Shane Keith Warne produced his magic touch yet again as Rajasthan Royals beat Deccan Chargers by two runs in a match that was gifted on a plate by the Hyderabad men to Rajasthan.With 5 wins and 5 losses Rajasthan have moved to fourth in the points table and they stand a realistic chance of making the Semis of IPL 2010.

Rajasthan Royals batted first and made a below par 159 with another Shane,Watson being the lone man scoring 58 off 36 balls.Deccan should have finished the match easily with Gilchrist showing his aggressive instincts with a quickfire 34.It was the newcomer Dole who accounted for both the openers and Deccan kept losing wickets at regular intervals succumbing to bad shots.

Deccan was still cruising when in came Warne who picked up 4 wickets for 21 runs in his 4 overs and exposed the inexperienced lower order of the Deccan Chargers.In the end Rohit Sharma’s 73 went in vain as the Royals once again came back from behind to put it past the Deccan Chargers.
