NEW DELHI: Deccan Chargers lost T Suman (0) and skipper Adam Gilchrist (0) in consecutive balls of the first over against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL encounter at VCA Stadium in Jamtha, Nagpur on Monday.
Scorecard
Earlier, Bangalore skipper Anil Kumble won the toss and decided to field against Deccan in Nagpur.
The Chargers are second from bottom, owing to a poor net run rate despite being tied on points with Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders.
Bangalore, on the other hand, sit behind table-toppers Mumbai Indians. They are tied on points with Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals but a better net run rate puts them above the two teams.
After suffering five back-to-back defeats, Deccan have fought back to stay in the hunt with wins over Bangalore and Chennai and they hope to maintain the trend.
Bangalore also suffered two consecutive defeats before putting it across Kolkata Knight Riders last night.
Bangalore and Deccan had clashed only a couple of days ago and Gilchrist's men had come out trumps despite chasing a competitive 184.
Teams
Deccan Chargers: AC Gilchrist (c/w), HH Gibbs, MD Mishra, TL Suman, A Symonds, RG Sharma, B Sumanth, RP Singh, PP Ojha, RJ Harris, Harmeet Singh
Royal Challengers Bangalore: JH Kallis, MK Pandey, CL White, RV Uthappa (w), LRPL Taylor, V Kohli, R Dravid, R Vinay Kumar, A Kumble (c), KP Appanna, DW Steyn.
