Deccan Chargers win by 11 runs to enter the Semi Finals! Delhi Daredevils have been knocked out of the tournament with that. Well DC had put up a competitive 145 for 7 on a slow and low turning Kotla pitch courtesy of Symonds. They fielded pretty well and the bowling was good all around to defend the total. Daredevils filled their side with plenty of batsmen but none of them fired with the exception of Collingwood.
