BB McCullum*	c Suman b Harris	20	18	1	1	111.11
4.3 gives it away this time, survived a couple of scares but fails to take advantage, short on the off, usually plays the pull well but not quite so this time, got the top edge and Suman at square leg ran back a few steps to pouch a well-judged catch 27/1
SC Ganguly	c Harris b Sharma	33	41	3	0	80.48
14.5 the end of a struggle, slightly short on the off, made room and tried to clear long-off, no timing on that one, landed safe in the hands of Harris 85/2
BJ Hodge	c Harmeet Singh b Harris	48	41	5	0	117.07
17.5 caught at short fine, short on middle, makes way to pull it over midwicket, mistimes it, gets the top-edge straight to Harmeet Singh, Hodge goes after a fine knock 117/3
DJ Hussey	run out (†Gilchrist)	43	17	2	4	252.94
19.4 from Symonds, run out, tries to whip it fine, gets hit on the waist and it drops on the pitch, rushes off for a single but Gilchrist is onto it quickly, flicking it onto the stumps at the non-striker's end to find Hussey well short 158/5
WP Saha†	c Singh b Symonds	7	3	0	1	233.33
19.2 holes out in the deep, full and wide, makes room and slices it in front of deep cover, RP is late to get onto it but covers good ground to dive forward and pluck a sharp catch 152/4

Deccan Chargers innings (target: 161 runs from 20 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
AC Gilchrist*†	c sub (LR Shukla) b Hodge	43	31	5	2	138.70
9.2 a timely wicket for Kolkata, tossed up outside off, a little slower through the air, reached for it and tried to sweep it square, it turned, went off the top edge and sailed towards Laxmi Shukla at deep square leg who judged it well diving to his right, though it did seem for a second it would pop out, but he clasped it well in the end 68/1
HH Gibbs	c Hussey b Kartik	28	34	3	0	82.35
12.3 Kartik strikes! Bowled it short on middle, a long hop that should have been dismissed but Gibbs didn't get the elevation, rocked back and pulled it straight to Hussey at deep midwicket 85/2
TL Suman	run out (Agarkar/Hodge)	31	24	3	1	129.16
16.2 Agarkar to Symonds, run out, good one, yorker length on the off, thumped down towards long-off, accurate throw from Hodge at the non-striker's end, Suman is struggling to reach, Agarkar collects well, clips off the bails to find Suman just short 116/3
A Symonds	run out (Mashrafe Mortaza)	18	13	0	1	138.46
17.1 from Mashrafe Mortaza, run out, he's bowled a superb yorker, dug out into the off side and rushes off, Mashrafe runs forward, collects and throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end despite Symonds blocking his view to find him well short, big wicket, a potentially decisive one, he's overstepped through, concedes a freehit, but what a big scalp 128/4
