\"IPL:Jaipur<\/strong>: Rajasthan Royals <\/a>came up trumps in a last over finish to a high scoring game against the Deccan Chargers<\/a> and went top of the Indian Premier League (IPL) table with a five-wicket win at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In an amazing chase, Royals reached a stiff 197-run target from a seemingly difficult situation to get 74 runs from the last six overs. Australian Brad Hodge, the highest run-getter in the shortest format of the game, led the assault hitting South African Dale Steyn<\/a> for four fours in a row in the 17th over and the needed 11 off the last over. <\/p>\n

Wicketkeeper Dishant Yagnik, last-minute replacement for injured Shreevats Goswami, hit Steyn for two more fours in the last over to see the Royals home with two balls to spare. <\/p>\n

Skipper Rahul Dravid<\/a> set the tempo for the Royals’ chase with a quickfire 42 off 24 balls (7×4, 1×6) before being dismissed by Daniel Christian. He shared a 62-run opening partnership with Ajinkya Rahane in 5.5 overs. <\/p>\n

Rahane, who hit a blistering century in the previous match against Bangalore, once again threatened to take the game away from Deccan, but fell to leg-spinner Amit Mishra in his bid to keep track of the required run-rate.<\/p>\n

Mishra, who had earlier dismissed Ashok Menaria, quickly got rid of the dangerous Owais Shah to reduce Rajasthan to 135 for four in the 16th over. <\/p>\n

Firmly in control, Deccan once again threw the match away thanks to some sloppy fielding.<\/p>\n

Johan Botha was dropped by Bharat Chipli but the South African could’nt make the Chargers pay for it as he fell in the very next over. <\/p>\n

Then Hodge took over and his 48 off 21 balls saw the Royals through.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Chargers got off to a rollicking start as Sangakkara and Shikhar Dhawan put on the highest opening partnership of IPL 5, cracking 94 runs in 10.4 overs. Sangakkara played a captain’s knock scoring 44 off 32 balls with five fours and a six. Dhawan scored his first fifty (52, 43 balls, 8×4)of this IPL edition.<\/p>\n

Chargers, who are yet to win a match this season, elected to bat on a placid track, were well served by Delhi’s Shikhar Dhawan and Jean-Paul Duminy, who came in for Cameron White. South African Duminy slammed 58 off 26 balls with five sixes and three fours.<\/p>\n

Australian Daniel Christian (29) came to the party forging the second big partnership of the innings, 88 with Duminy.<\/p>\n
