Chennai Super Kings innings:

15th over: 115 for 0. Ganguly puts down another one. Ganguly runs back and tries to take it over his head but ends up sticking one hand out and drops it and adding insult to injury Badrinath smashes the bowler for three consecutive boundaries to bring up his fifty in the process. Two boundaries over square leg and one through the third man makes it fifteen from the over.

14th over: 100 for 0. Badrinath comes down the track off first ball off Kartik's over but misses the ball all ends up but somehow Uthappa misses the ball as well and chance of stumping goes begging. Meanwhile, du Plessis smashes his fourth ball for a huge six over the long-on.

Kevin Pietersen ton carries Delhi to victory against Deccan

New Delhi: Kevin Pietersen smashed a match-winning century as Delhi Daredevils cruised to their fourth victory after crushing Deccan Chargers by five wickets in an IPL game at the Feroz Shah Kotla here on Thursday.

Pietersen (103 not out off 64) clubbed six fours and nine huge sixes as Delhi chased down a challenging 158 in 19.1 overs after Deccan’s skipper Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat. Yogesh Nagar, with his unbeaten 23 off 15, provided good support to Pietersen. Deccan were in control when they reduced Delhi to 65 for 4 in the tenth over, but Pietersen, who was dropped thrice on 6, 68 and 94, took full advantage of the lacklustre Deccan fielding as the visitors succumbed to their fourth successive loss.
