Deccan Chargers win by 6 wickets with five balls to spare. Well an easy win it was once the bowlers had restricted CSK to just 138 for 8. Nobody got going for CSk with the exception of Raina. Harris bowled well for his 3 for 18 and so did Harmeet Singh. The DC chase was well constructed by T Suman who scored his second consecutive fifty.
