Champions League T20: Match 5: Deccan Chargers vs Somerset Sabres

October 11, 2009 By: admin1 Category: Champions League T20 No Comments →

IPL II Champions and host Deccan Chargers lost to Somerset Sabres after Alfonso Thomas (30) and James Hildreth (25) pulled off a sensational last-ball one-wicket win in a Group A match of the Champions League on Saturday.
Chasing 154 to win, Somerset was struggling at 99/7 at one stage but Thomas and Hildreth snatched victory by raising a superb 50-run stand for the eighth wicket.
Somerset required five runs from the last over, bowled by Scott Styris, and what followed was a heart-stopping drama. Styris bowled Hildreth in the first ball to break the partnership and dismissed Max Waller in the third ball.
Thomas dispatched a full toss for a four to level the scores, played a dot ball and smashed another boundary, an inside out shot, to seal a thrilling win for his team.
Thomas’ unbeaten knock came off just 17-balls and contained four boundaries and a six.
Earlier, VVS Laxman hit a brilliant 46 and Venugopal Rao sizzled with a fiery 22 to guide the hosts to a competitive 153/9. RP Singh (3/17) polished off the Somerset top order in a fiery opening spell to give the hosts the kind of start they needed to defend their modest total.
