Chargers get the better of RCB

 Nagpur:Who says that the shortest version of the game is not for the bowlers. The third edition of IPL is proving many set notions T20 to be just myths. The Collective effort of the bowlers helped Deccan Chargers record a crucial 13-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday.

              First it was the fast and furious Dale Steyn who rocked DC with his superb intial three-wicket burst. The Chargers though recovered from the early blow,thanks to Monish Mishra and Rohit Sharma, to post 151 on the board. The Royal Challengers looked cruising to victory as Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis took the score to 74 for 1 by the 10th over.But Pragyan Ojha and RP Singh made themselves count taking four RCB wickets in the next six overs that yielded just 36 runs.Robin Uthappa threatened to spoil  the party but Harmeet Singh did the trick for DC.

        The Decca win looked improbable as Steyn's initial bust left them reeling. Steyn sent back three Deccan Chargers men off his first eight balls. Steyn consumed Adam Gilchrist, Herschelle Gibss and T Suman with just three runs on the board.

         But a solid counter attack led by Rohit Sharma and Monish Mishra enabled Deccan Chargers to post a challenging 152-run target.
