Chennai 47-1 (5 ovs) vs Deccan

Du Plessis flicks the first ball of VP Singh's second over through midwicket to get three runs.

Raina slaps the next ball past mid-on for a boundary despite not getting it off the middle and then gets a single to mid-off.

Du Plessis (10) then gets a lifeline as Amit Mishra drops a simple catch on the thirdman boundary. The right-hander charges down the wicket and looks to chip it over the off-side but gets a thick outside edge and is lucky that the catch is put down.

The bowler is not at all impressed but it gets worse for him as Raina hits him for back to back sixes. He heaves the fifth ball over the midwicket fence for a huge SIX and then pulls a short ball behind square on the leg for another maximum.

21 runs from VP Singh's second over in which he could picked up a wicket but the drop catch by Mishra changed it all.
