Dwane Smith produced a fighting 48 off just 28 balls to guide Deccan Chargers to 148 for 9 against Delhi Daredevils in their Indian Premier League match today.
Put into bat, the Chargers got off to a disastrous start with their two in-form batsmen Adam Gilchrist (8) and Herchelle Gibbs (0) perishing quickly, but Smith's knock helped the team to put up a competitive total at SuperSport Park.
The West Indian first paired up with T Suman and then Venugopal Rao to help the Deccans survive some mid-innings slump which made their life difficult before the strategy break.
Smith was particularly severe on Daniel Vettori hitting him for three consecutive boundaries in the 12th over as the Deccans accelerated the pace of scoring after the strategy break.
