[Dhonifan]

come on DD come on DD come oooooon lets beat the daylights out of Mumbai pretenders!!!

 

[Mohsin]

25/0 after 3 overs, McGrath's been hit for a coup,e of 4s by Tendu and Jaya. DD decided to give a debut to a new Aussie bowler, Geeves. Not really a clever move considering he's bowling to one of the batsman whos in the best form so far!

 

[Mohsin]

Bif over there from Jaya, hitting Geeves for 14 in 3 balls! 40 after 4

 

[Mercenary]

I'm glad Malik and Asif arent playing, I've just switched the game off!!

 

[Mohsin]

6.2 Maharoof to Tendulkar, 2 wides, stumping chance! He slides wide down the legstump and Tendulkar trods out of his crease as he tries to flick it, Karthik fumbles and lets it slip through



69/0 in 7th over

 

[Mohsin]

6.6 Maharoof to Jayasuriya, no run, Appeal: He fails to pick the slower ball and gets into the pull rather early, Maharoof was super confident the ball went through straight and struck him on the pads in line with the stump but the umpire reckoned he got an inside edge, that was mighty close


Finally Tendulker gone, Mahesh get his man!!!!!!! 70/1
Now just gotta get Jaya out!!

 

[Dhonifan]

Dwayne goes, but we want Jaya hit-man Surya!!!!!!!!

Get this butcher outttt!!!!!!!

 

[Dhonifan]

umpires are being too harsh on DD. couple of wide calls unfair, and 2 plum lbw not given

 

[Mohsin]

Magnificent over from Manesh there, just the 2 off it and the wicket! 109/2 after 13

C'MON NEED TO GET JAYA!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dhonifan]

GOT 'IM

Jaya goes! caught in the deep

 

[Mohsin]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

Jaya Gone, Dilshan And Mishra U Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mohsin]

Another 1 bites the dust!!!!!!!

114/4 Nayar gone, and Geeves gets his first wicket

 

[Dhonifan]

meh, we need Uthapam quickly

 

[Mohsin]

Pollock bowled by Maharoof after getting hit for a 4. 143/5 in 18th over

 

[Mohsin]

17 runs off McGrath's final over, having an off day today. 162/5 with 1 over to go

 

[Mohsin]

3 wickets, 2 sixes and 2 singles off the last over, DD will require 177 runs in their 20 overs to stay in the IPL!

 

[Dhonifan]

dont mess this up guys. no need to take risky singles like those
gotta be careful of pollock's first over

 

[HuZi]

[Mohsin]

4,4,6,4 from Sehwag!!!! 19/0 after 1

 

[Mohsin]

[Dhonifan]

Hopefully DD

I want those Mumbai pretenders out!

[WasimG]

A six and two 4s.

25 off 3 overs needed.

 

[Dhonifan]

16 needed in 2

 

[WasimG]

16 off 12 needed.

 

[WasimG]

Six

 

[Dhonifan]

8 off the last over
8 is not an easy number
not too much, but not that little either

 

[WasimG]

Yes. Back to back 4s by Maharoof. What a legend he is. Asif is nowhere near as valuable in this format.

 

[Dhonifan]

DD WINS!!!

Mumbai oi oi

 

[Pak_mystery]

Atleast chennai are out and am so happy . . . Lol

 

[WasimG]

"Dinesh Karthik's heroics, and Maharoof's towards the end, have given Delhi a **** at the semi-finals." On cricinfo. See it before they fix it.
