Deccan Chargers were regarded the underdogs as they were at the last place in IPL T20 season 1 points tally. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians is regarded as one of the best teams of IPL 2 with a great bowling and batting combination. Adam Gilchrist won the toss and decided to bat. Hershelle Gibbs (58 off 44 balls), Dwayne Smith (35 off 22 balls) and Adam Gilchrist (35 off 20 balls) guided Deccan Chargers to a competitive total of 168/9 in their 20 overs. Lasith Malinga and Dwayne Bravo were good with the ball with 3 for 19 and 3 for 34 respectively. Mumbai Indians started off well after initial hiccup of Jayasuriya’s wicket with Sachin Tendulkar (36 off 27 balls) and J P Duminy (47 off 40 balls) playing brilliantly. But yet again the strategy break proved to be damaging and Sachin got out soon after after which the required run rate kept on increasing. The middle order could not hold for long and instead of great effort by some of the batsmen, Mumbai Indians could only score 156/7 in their 20 overs. Pragyan Ojha from the Deccan Chargers was adjudged the Man of the Match for his spell of 4 wickets for 21 runs.

Deccan Chargers and Bangalore Royal Challengers both came to the IPL as the underdogs after a dismal performance last year. But they started this year well with a win each. But Deccan Chargers seemed more consistent and so they were the favorites. Adam Gilchrist, the Deccan Chargers captain won the toss and decided to bat. Gilchrist (71 off 45 balls) led the way with support from Rohit Sharam (52 off 30 balls) to post a total of 184/6 in their 20 overs which is also the highest total in IPL 2 till now. Bangalore started off badly with Jesse Ryder bowled for duck by Edwards and their top order failed miserably. Though Rahul Dravid (48 off 27 balls) and Virat Kohli (50 off 32 balls) in the middle order did their best to revive the match but the high target had already slipped off their hands. Bangalore Royal Challengers could only make 160/8 in their 20 overs and were defeated by 24 runs. In the bowling, R P Singh from the Chargers bowled another good spell of 4/17 in his 4 overs to get the purple cap for the highest wicket taken in IPL 2 till now. Adam Gilchrist was awarded the Man of the Match for his blazing innings of 71 off 45 balls.

Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders have both changed their captains and Deccan Chargers are led by Adam Gilchrist while Kolkata coach had been floating the idea of multiple captains for KKR. But Brendon Mccullum was declared the captain for this match and they hoped that the change of captaincy would enhance the team’s performance. Mccullum won the toss and decided to bat first. They were quite pathetic with the bat and except Brad Hodge (31 off 34 balls) they failed to impress. The Knight Riders were bundled out for 101 runs in 19.4 overs. R P Singh shone with the ball scalping 4 wickets for 22 runs. The Deccan Chargers cruised through and reached the target in 13.1 overs with great performances by Hershelle Gibbs (43 off 26 balls) and Rohit Sharma (36 off 32 balls). R P Singh won the Man of the Match for his bowling performance.
