IPL: DC in another must-win battle against Bangalore

Nagpur, April 11: Fighting to stay in contention for a semifinal berth in the Indian Premier League, defending champions Deccan Chargers will find it tough to stretch their two-match winning streak when they take on second-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore in their adopted home ground here tomorrow.

The Chargers are second from bottom, owing to a poor net run rate despite being tied on points with Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Bangalore, on the other hand, sit behind table-toppers Mumbai Indians. They are tied on points with Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals but a better net run rate puts them above the two teams.

After suffering five back-to-back defeats, Deccan have fought back to stay in the hunt with wins over Bangalore and Chennai and they would hope to maintain the trend tomorrow.
