HELLO GUYS WELCOME TO IPL SEASON2-DAY6. WHAT AN ENTHRALLIN DAY OF CRICKET!!!!!!!! TWO EDGE OF A SEAT HUMDINGERS. I PITY D PPL WHU MISSD IT. LETS GET ON WITH THE MATCHES. THERE WERE 2 MATCHES YESTRDAY. ONE WAS BETWEEN LAST YR FINALISTS(CHENNAI) ND SEMIFINALISTS(DELHI). DELHI WON D TOSS AND BATTED FIRST. JUST LIKE ME EVRYONE XPECTD VIRU ND GAUTI TO GET OFF TO A GUD START. THE SPECTATORS WERE IN FOR A DISSAPOIINTMENT AS BOTH D OPENERS FELL CHEAPLY. BUT THEN THE DISSAPOINTMENT WAS ONLY MOMENTARY. IN CAME DILSHAN AND de VILLIERS BOTH OF DEM TREATED THE BOWLERS WITH DISDAIN. ESPECIALLY DILSHAN WAS PRETTY HARSH TOWARDS MANPREET GONY. DILSHAN DEPARTD AFTER MAKIN A FINE 50. FROM THEN ON IT WAS de VILLIERS SHOW ALL THE WAY. HE CRACKED THE FIRST CENTURY OF IPL SEASON 2. FLINTOFF WAS RESERVED FOR A SPECIAL TREATMENT. BALAJI WAS D PICK OF BOWLERS FR CSK WID FIGURE 3/19 IN 4 OVERS. DELHI POSTED A MAMOTH 189 ON BOARD AND LEFT CHENNAI A HUGE MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB.

BUT WHEN D CHNAI OPENERS MARCHD IN THEY HAD A DIFFERENT IDEA. HAYDOS STARTED HIS INNINGS PRETTY WELL AND KEPT IMPROVING AS THE INNINGS PROGREESD. HE MADE SURE THAT CSK WAS ALWAYSS ABOVE THE ASKING RATE. PARTHIV PATEL PLAYED THE IDEAL FOIL. AT ONE STAGE IT LOOKD LIKE CHENNAI MIGHT CREATE RECORD BY CHASING THE TARGET. DELHI'S ATTACK WAS INEXPERIENCD WIDOUT MCGRATH IN THEIR LINE UP. THEN CAME THE YOUNG PRADEEP SANGWAN PICKIN THE 1ST WICKET OF PARTHIV PATEL. THE TURNIN POINT OF THE MATCH WAS THE WICKET OF HAYDOS CAUGHT AT DEEP BY DIRK NANES. HE SCORD AN EXCELLNT 57 AND LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR CSK. BUT THEN IN CAME DANIEL VATTORI AND CHANGD THE COURSE OF THE MATCH WITH HIS CANNY LEFT ARM SPIN BOWLING.

THE END RESULT IS THAT CHENNAI LOST THE MATCH BY NINE RUNS. THE MAN OF THE MATCH UNDOUBTEDLY WAS de VILLIERS. DELHI HAVE A PERFECT RECORD OF WINNING 2 OUT OF 2. CHENNAI HAS LOST 2 OUT OF IYTS 3 MATCHES AND NEED TO REGROUP FASTER.

MENDIS STEMMED THE FLOW OF RUNS BY PICKIN 2 WICKETS IN THE SAME OVER. IN THE END RAJASTHAN POSTED A COMPETITIVE SCORE OF 150.

THE KNIGHTRIDERS OPENERS WERE IN FOR A SURPRISE AS YUSUF PATHAN STRTD THE INNINGS. THE FIRST 3 OVERS CONCEDED JUST 10 RUNS. THEN GAYLE LASHD THE BOWLERS ALL ROUND THE PARK.
