Sehwag blows away Chargers
Agencies
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 04 - 2008

Virender Sehwag was at his explosive best as Delhi Daredevils stormed to second straight victory by blowing away Deccan Chargers at their own den Tuesday.
Sehwag clubbed his way to a 41-ball 94 as Delhi Daredevils raced to a comfortable nine-wicket win in just 13 overs.
For the second straight match Deccan Chargers' skipper V.V.S. Laxman and the Australian master blasters Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds disappointed the cricket fans. After choosing to bat Deccan Chargers succumbed to the accurate Pakistan Mohammed Asif and Sri Lanka's Mahroof who claimed two wickets each. However, the hosts were saved by an emerging Indian star Rohit Sharma who cracked 66 from 36 balls which helped them post 142.
True to their name the Delhi batsmen romped home winners in no time. After the exit of Gautam Gambhir early, it was a one-man show at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. “Veeru” cut loose and rained fours (10) and sixes (4) to finish the match in 13 overs.
On Wednesday, Chennai super Kings will take on Mumbai Indians in Chennai.
Brief scores:
Deccan Chargers 142-8 (V.Rao 14 (22 balls), Symonds 12 (13), R.Sharma 66 (36) -Asif 2-19, Maharoof 2-36, Mahesh 1-35, Bhatia 2-27).
Delhi Daredevils 143-1 in 13 overs (Gambhir 12 (9), Sehwag not out 94 (41), Dhawan not out 25 (28) - RP Singh 1-27).
Player of the Match: Sehwag. ECB holds talks
with Stanford
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) raised the prospect of a lucrative Twenty20 series against a West Indies team on Tuesday after confirming it had held further talks with Texas billionaire Allen Stanford.
Stanford, who launched a domestic Twenty20 competition in the West Indies, met with ECB chief executive David Collier and Julian Hunte, president of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), on Monday to discuss a range of issues. __
