Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers were both sitting near the top of the points tally before the 43rd Match of IPL T20 season 2 and the match was seen by many as a fight for an almost guaranteed semi-final berth. Adam Gilchrist won the toss and put Delhi Daredevils to bat. Delhi Daredevils did not look very comfortable against the Deccan Chargers bowlers but Dinesh Karthik (44 off 23 balls), AB de Villiers (44 off 36 balls) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (37 off 18 balls) played blazing knocks to guide Delhi Daredevils to 172/7 in 20 overs. Deccan Chargers started the run chase in style as Adam Gilchrist blazed to 64 runs in 33 balls. Even after he got out Andrew Symonds (41 off 22 balls) attacked the bowling and Deccan Chargers were looking at a comfortable position with just 25 runs needed off 20 balls with 7 wickets in hand. But then wickets fell in quick succession and all of a sudden Deccan Chargers were bowled out for 161 runs in 19.4 overs. Rajat Bhatia and Pradeep Sangwan were the star bowlers for the Delhi Daredevils with bowling figures of 4/15 and 3/18 respectively. Rajat Bhatia was awarded the Man of the Match for taking the crucial 4 wickets which helped Delhi Daredevils turn the match around in their favour.

Yusuf Pathan saved the match for the Rajasthan Royals once again as he hit a blazing 62 off 30 balls with six 6s guiding them to victory. Virender Sehwag won the toss and decided to bat. Most of the Delhi Daredevils batsmen failed yet again and Delhi could only score 143/7 in their 20 overs by virtue of a 50 by AB De Villiers off 40 balls. Shane Warne, Munaf Patel and Dimitri Mascarenhas took 2 wickets each for the Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals also kept on loosing frequent wickets as they came to bat though Graeme Smith (44 off 46 balls) was consistent on one end. The Royals were struggling at 64/5 after 11 overs when Shane Warne got out but Yusuf Pathan came to the rescue once again and his powerful hitting helped the Rajasthan Royals reach the target in 18.3 overs. Amit Mishra performed well for the Delhi Daredevils with his bowling spell of 3 wickets for 34 runs. Yusuf Pathan was awarded the Man of the Match for his blazing 62 off 30 balls and the maximum sixes award for this six 6s in the match.
