Saurov Ganguly had won the toss by calling tails and he decided to bowl first on a poor pitch . The lineups were as follows :

Kolkata : 1)Marcus Trescothick 2)Adam Gilchrist 3)Sourav Ganguly 4)Robin Uthappa 5)Misbah ul Huq 6)Dwayne Bravo 7)Shaun Pollock 8)Brett Lee 9)Mohd Rafique 10)Fidel Edwards 11)Jerome Taylor

Hydrebad : 1)Imran Nazir 2)Alaistar Cook 3)Ricky Ponting 4)Michael Clarke 5)VVS Laxman 6)Shoaib Malib 7)Kamran Akmal 8)Chaminda Vaas 9)Stuart McGill 10)Umar Gul 11)Mitchel Johnson

Imran Nazir got to a flyer . He and Cook just destroyed the Kolkata bowling in first two overs but then Kolkata struck back . Cook was clean bowled by the veteran Shaun pollock in the second over . Cook departed for 14 . Ricky ponting didnt last long . He was caught by Gilly in the same over of Pollock for just 5 runs . Suddenly deccan were in trouble at 38/2 . Ganguly took the risk of bring the spinner Rafique on in the 5th over . And the gamble paid fo as Clarke was caught and bowled by Rafique for 3 . Laxman was caught by Gilly of Rafique in the same over for just 6 runs . Nazir and Malik tried to put some runs on the board but all went in vain as Jerome Taylor bowled Nazir for 33 . Kamran Akmal was given leg before of Rafique's bowling and he departed for 4 . Malik and Vaas rotated the strike but Taylor got the main wicket of Malik . Malik departed for 20 and Deccan were 93/7 . Vaas was next one to be out as he edged one to Gilly of Rafique and Vaas went for 16 . MacGill was clean bowled by a yorker of Edwards for 11 and soon later Bravo claimed his first as he wrapped Gull for 7 . With this Hydrebad were all out for 123 in 17 overs .

124 was a bit tricky to chase on this pitch but with the start they got from Gilly and Trescothick it was never gonna be hard . Trescothick got Kolkata of to a flyer by scoring 19 runs of the first over of Johnson . But soon Vaas struck and got rid of Trescothick for 20 of 8 balls . Gilly and capatain Ganguly put a huge partnership of 86 runs which just included 1 six and 3 fours . Deccan bowlers bowl a good line and length and made runs difficult for this two left handers . Gilly just fell short of his half century as he was stumped by Kamran Akmal of malik's bowling . Ganguly was run out in the same over as he departed for 38 . Misbah ul Huq scored just 4 runs before he was caught at mid wickt by Punter of Malik . Bravo came in hit 2 bowundaries in 2 balls and finished the match . Kolkata had won by 6 wickets and 6 balls .

Well it was the pitched which played spoil sport as we where not able to see a huge total . But Deccan bowlers bowled well in right areas .

Mohd Rafique was given the Man of the Match award for taking 4 wickets . Here are the points for the man of the series award

M.Rafique - 3pts
A.Gilchrist - 2pts
S.Malik - 1 pts

Kolkata had won the match comfortabley by 6 wickets . Ganguly and co looked very happy after their second win but Deccan had a lot to take from this loss as they have the most economical bowlers in their side .
