It will be the battle of two sides desperately hoping to see off their miserable recent form when Chennai Superkings come up against Deccan Chargers, a match you can keep updated on with the range of cricket services available here on your site. Both these sides have lost their last two matches and although they are in different ends of the table, expect a close clash when these powerhouses of the South pile up against each other in this exciting clash.

Chennai Superkings come into this clash on the back of a sad batting performance against Rajasthan Royals outfit. A rampaging Sohail Tanvir derailed the entire batting line up as they collapsed to an inexplicable score of 109. Tanvir skittled through the top order with stunning figures of 6/14 and a much better show will be expected from Mahendra Singh Dhoni and troops when they come up against the Deccan Chargers this time around. The Chennai outfit are suffering from the absence of Australian super duo of Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilcrhist and will be hoping for a much better performance from ex- New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming. Suresh Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are the other two batting options for the Chennai outfit and they will be expected to come good this time around. Chennai have lost their last two clashes against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils which has put a spot of blemish on their so far undiluted track record. Muttiah Muralitharan is yet to fire on all cylinders for the Chennai outfit and given the current run of form, the off spinner is due a big performance and he will be hoping to produce it against a star studded Deccan Chargers outfit this time around.

Deccan Chargers on the other hand have been a subject of parody and confusion as they lie bottom with just a solitary point to show for their efforts. Despite having the best batting line up around consisting of the likes of Shahid Afridi, VVS Laxman, Gibbs and Rohit Sharma, they have generally struggled for runs as was evident in their unfortunate draw against the Bangalore Royal Challengers last time around. Chasing a mearge total of 157, the Deccan Chargers fell three short on a placid pitch in Bangalore and much needs to be improved upon in their ranks this time around. However, their bowling has improved in recent matches with the likes of Nuwan Zoysa and Chaminda Vaas improving match by match as was evident by their strong performance against Bangalore last time around. Adam Gilcrhist has been in quiet form all summer except for a smashing hundred against Mumbai and the former Aussie great will be hoping to turn back the gears with a smashing performance against the Chennai Superkings this coming Tuesday 6th of May 2008 at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
