The home ground of Deccan Chargers since IPL season 1 has been the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium at Hyderabad. They have even been the IPL champions during its second edition at South Africa. However, they had never won a single match in their Hyderabad home ground in all these years till this match. But they finally rose to the occasion and broke the jinx with their first win of IPL season 4 with a 33 run win against Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB captain Vettori won the toss and put DC to bat. Deccan Chargers went off to a flyer and reached 175/5 in their 20 overs with rapid knocks by Bharat Chipli (61 runs off 35 balls), Sunny Sohal (38 runs off 37 balls) and their captain Kumar Sangakkara (36 runs off 25 balls). Zaheer Khan was the lone ranger in the Bangalore bowling as he took 3 wickets for 32 runs. In reply, Bangalore could never give a befitting reply and kept on losing wickets regularly against the fiery spells of the three DC seamers Dale Steyn (3 wickets for 24 runs), Ishant Sharma (1 wicket for 21 runs) and Manpreet Gony (3 wickets for 31 runs). Virat Kohli was the lone ranger in the Bangalore batting and scored 71 runs off 51 balls but they could only 142/9 in their 20 overs. Steyn was awarded the Man of the Match for his bowling.

In Match 49 of IPL 2, Adam Gilchrist won the toss and put Kngs XI Punjab to bat. The Kings XI Punjab batsmen struggled with the bat and they could only score 134/7 in 20 overs with the help of an useful 56 runs off 43 balls by Kumar Sangakkara. Deccan Chargers lost wickets at regular intervals when they came to bat and although the match turned into a thriller once again in the last over but Rohit Sharma (42 off 26 balls) could not script the victory as Deccan Chargers lost by merely 1 run. The best moment of the match was when Yuvraj Singh took his second hat-trick of IPL 2. Yuvraj Singh was awarded the Man of the Match for his hat-trick and his 20 runs off 18 balls.
