Chandigarh Lions v Delhi Giants, 6th match, ICL TP Singh's all-round show hands Lions win March 15, 2008
Chandigarh Lions 153 for 6 (TP Singh 38, Elliot 35, Benkenstein 2-42) beat Delhi Giants 119 (Bali 31, Tuffey 3-15, TP Singh 2-8)
Chandigarh Lions posted an easy 34-run win on the back of Tejinder Pal Singh's brisk 38 and two wickets in an over which snuffed out Delhi Giants' challenge in Panchkula. After opting to bat, the Lions made a competitive 153 with solid contributions from their top order. Lou Vincent and Matthew Elliot gave them a breezy start, scoring 44 before Vincent was bowled by former South African batsman Dale Benkenstein. TP Singh and Elliot then shared another 44-run stand to keep the run-rate up but the Giants hit back with three quick wickets. Sixteen runs came off one Benkenstein over as Chetan Sharma lashed a 9-ball 21 to boost the Lions' total. For the Giants, Shane Bond bowled a tidy spell, keeping it tight in the beginning and getting TP Singh bowled in his second spell. The chase began in earnest, as 12 runs came off the first over, sent down by Lions' captain Andrew Hall who had a poor day - going wicketless and conceding nearly 10 an over. Daryl Tuffey, though, was spot on and accounted for both openers as only eight runs were scored in the next three overs. Giants couldn't recover from the poor start and the only batsmen to make significant contributions were Marvan Atapattu (29) and Abhinav Bali (31). With the required rate already at a challenging 13 an over, TP Singh came on and removed Benkenstein and JP Yadav in the space of four balls to end Giants' hopes. The result means both teams now have one win and one loss after their first two encounters. © Cricinfo
