Gilchrist smashed the Punjab bowlers to all parts of the park
Deccan Chargers gave an imposing performance against Knigs XI Punjab and left the other teams plenty to play for the semi-finals spot. The match went down to the last over but Deccan Chargers' batsman had done enough to upset Priety Zinta's side. Skipper Adam Gilchrist and VVS Laxman injected a dash of nitro fuel to the run chase, adding 151 for the second wicket. Andrew Symonds finished off the game with a boundary of Yuvraj Singh's over and three balls left. This was in response to the target set by the Kings XI Punjab of 172, mainly thanks to a brilliant innings by the Sri Lankan duo of Mahela Jayawardena and Kumar Sangakkara.
