Deccan Chargers win IPL

JOHANNESBURG: Former India captain Anil Kumble produced a magnificent bowling performance for the Royal Challengers Bangalore but could not prevent the Deccan Chargers from winning the Indian Premier League final by six runs at the Wanderers on Sunday. Leg-spinner Kumble opened the bowling, dismissed danger man Adam Gilchrist with his third ball, and took four for 18 as Deccan were restricted to 143 for six. Herschelle Gibbs hit an unbeaten 53 for the Chargers. It seemed an eminently achievable target but Bangalore were unable to put any big partnerships together as the tension mounted in front of a capacity crowd.
