Restricted Pune outplay colorless Deccan

Pune Warriors 137 for 4 (Pandey 49, Ganguly 32*) strike Deccan Chargers 136 for 8 (Marsh 4-25, Yuvraj 2-17) by six wickets


Deccan Chargers' coach Darren Lehmann on Tuesday slams his batsmen for "careless" batting in their six-wicket beat to Pune Warriors in the IPL.
Lehmann admits that his team was entirely outplayed by the visitors in all aspects of the game.

"Batting was poor, reckless. We were none for 50 in six overs and we might have got 150-160. All the credit be theoretical to be given to Pune, they bowled sensibly well. We had some silly shots in the middle and players of calibre be supposed to not have play like that," said Lehmann.

Deccan openers Shikhar Dhawan and Ravi Teja had raise a half-century place in six overs to set the tone for a competitive total.

But clever bowling coupled with some mindless batting by the home side helped the Warriors fight back as Mitchell Marsh produced a clinical performance with the ball to limit Deccan to 136 for eight.

Lehmann also implicit at some major change in the side for the remaining matches.

"Change of team gives some additional guys a chance. We will clearly go for a change. We are out of the opposition and we will change the team to give the others a chance.

"They are training very hard at the back the scenes. At the end of the day, you have got to pick the best team but we will give possibility to the other guys as well," he said.
