The Deccan Chargers won their sixth game of the tournament to tie with four other sides in the 46th game of the IPL against Bangalore at Nagpur. 
Deccan Chargers were put into bat, and were shocked quite early on. In the very first over from Dale Steyn, he first induced Adam Gilchrist into edging the ball to the wicket-keeper, and followed it up with a bouncer that took T SUman by surprise and saw him get caught at backward short-leg by Ross Taylor.
Steyn missed the hat-trick, but returned back to take the wicket of Herschelle Gibbs, by clean-bowling the South African to leave the Chargers in a lot of trouble at 14/3 in the third over.
Rohit Sharma was then joined by Monish Mishra and duo started to get some respectability to the Chargers’ innings. The progress was slower to begin with, but with the Deccan side having lost so many quick wickets to begin with, it was only natural. Mishra, who had been shunned up and down the order throughout the tournament, looked to have finally found his slot in the middle of the innings and once he got his eye in, smacked three sixes and a four in his innings. 
The two were going well and had added 82 runs for the fourth wicket, when Mishra started to turn blind to a second run and was run-out by, that man Steyn again as the momentum was stalled for the time being. Andrew Symonds also got a start, but failed to get a move-on, getting out for 19, and despite Rohit Sharma’s 51, the Chargers managed only 151/6 in the 20 overs.
In reply, the Royal Challengers Bangalore lost Manish Pandey to the very first delivery of the innings, but Rahul Dravid, who was promoted up the order went about his business in the same manner that he had in the previous game. Having come off a half century in the previous game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Dravid was very positive in his approach, and in partnership with the Orange Cap holder Jacques Kallis, added 74 for the second wicket off 62 balls.
While Dravid was aggressive, the problem was surprisingly at the other end, where Jacques Kallis failed to get a move on. The problem became highlighted when Dravid (49 off 35) was called off a slower ball off the bowling of Andrew Symonds, and was followed by Kallis also being dismissed.
The Bangalore batting was obviously long, but under pressure, it crumbled like nine pins. Apart from Robin Uthappa who got to a 20-ball 34, the rest of the players got to only single-digit scores and the side was bowled out for 138 in the final over.
Harmeet Singh was named the man of the match for his superb spell of four overs for 24 runs, where he picked up two crucial wickets.
