As far as the match is concerned, Deccan Gladiators, looking to win their third successive match, elected to bat first. However, things did not fall in their favor. They amassed 109 with the loss of seven scalps but could not defend it successfully.

While Kieron Pollard and co. looked to chase, Andre Fletcher started classy with 16 off 6. Later, Paul Stirling’s smokey knock of 25 off 11 propelled them further. Meanwhile, Eoin Morgan’s 42 off 23 and Azam Khan’s 26 off 20 helped them reach 110, while the Gladiators bowlers failed to deliver the pretty final over.
