The Deccan Chargers battery life seem to be emptied out yesterday as they lost to Bangalore by 9 wickets in the most disappointing contest of IPL 2010.Deccan Chargers were bowled out for 83 runs in mere 18.3 overs as they seem a disinterested and tired team looking to fasten the time to pack their bags and go to their homes.
In what was billed as a high stakes encounter and a replay of the IPL 2009 finals,it emerged as an embarrasing finish to the third place playoff or what can be said as the Champions League T20 Qualifiers.Adam Gilchrist fell in the first over to kumble in what was again a repeat of IPL 2009 finals and it seemed everybody looked to play the ball high up in the air inside the boundary to give catching practice to the Bangalore fielders.
Kumble finished with 4/16 as Praveen Kumar(2/18) and Kallis(2/3) shortened the Deccan innings.Bangalore reached the target in 13.5 overs as Kallis was the only casualty for 19.Dravid(35)and Pietersen(29) took Bangalore home as well as a stake in the Multi billion
dollar Champions League T20 tournament in SouthAfrica.
