Hi guys,

Match 31, Chennai taking on Pune again after two days here in DY patil Stadium, Nothing much changed, just this time Pune batted first and scored just 1 run less than the CSK’s score in Chennai, 141/6 in 20 overs, And in reply Chennai lost Hussey early, But Vijay and Badri Steadied the middle innings and Badri with Raina finished the final few overs in ease to win with 8 wickets to spare, Win Which takes Chennai right on top to the second spot.

Match 32, Another game where Kochi had no answer to inspired bowling from Ishant sharma, Not much to say as Deccan’s played so poorly so that they managed to score just 130 runs and Kochi to say was taken aback by the Dumbstruck bowling of Ishant Sharma who rocked the Kochi’s in their own place, Not to leave out Steyn who picked 3 wickets to his name too. Overall a pathetic display of batting from KTK to end their innings at third ever lowest IPL score, also to add 6 ducks to their innings. DC won the match by 55 runs.
