Wow! What a match!! What a thriller of a match!
As the IPL is reaching its final stages we are seeing much more close matches. All the matches coming down to the wire, the last over, the last ball.. it just makes IPL so much more interesting to watch! With the semifinal spots so wide open, all the teams are now getting desparate. And what entertainment this is providing the fans!
Today's match between Deccan Chargers & Kings XI was no exception. The Kings had to win to keep their hopes alive in the tournament. For Deccans a win would have sealed their spot in the semis.
The match had everything. And finally it took the Kings two quick wickets from Pawar, another hat-trick from Yuvi & a fantastic last over from Pathan to snatch a win in the last ball of the match.
Like yesterday, it was left to Rohit Sharma to bring Deccans to victory. And he almost did so.. two days in a row. The over of Mota set the tone & Sharma brought it to 11 of the last 6. And when he hit a four in the last over, it was all but over for the Kings. But guess it was too much to ask of Sharma two days in a row. The Deccans faltered and eventually lost by one run!
Earlier in the day, Yuvi took his second hat-trick of the tournament. What a feat. And he took the wickets of Gibbs, Symo & Rao. Three biggies!!! He must be seriously thinking of turning into a full time spinner after his horrible performance with the bat!
Speaking of wickets, what was the third umpire thinking when he gave symo out? Was he drunk? Is he blind? How could anyone not see the bails fall off? The wicket probably cost Deccans the match.
Kings still have a chance to make it to the semis. They have one more match left with Chennai & they will have to win it too. Deccans are almost there in the semis, but they need one more win to seal their spot.
With the tournament still wide open, there are still much more fireworks expected!!!
