Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat
Far from a full house for the inaugural game, but you could expect one later in the day when West Indies face Ireland.
Jacob Oram is fit and playing for New Zealand. Dinesh Chandimal will strengthen Sri Lanka’s batting, and last year’s finalists also have Murali and Mendis in their ranks.

2nd: Semi-Final: Deccan Chargers v Chennai Super Kings, Apr 22, 2010
The two teams being the best in the competition had many wanting to see them in the finals but Bangalore’s slip at the end of the league stage made them fall to the fourth place and hence, meet the in-form Mumbai in the semi-final itself.
The battle will be between the Bangalore batting and the Mumbai bowling, and it can be said the side that wins the battle will get a foot in the doors to the final, unless the master Sachin Tendulkar or the old warhorse Anil Kumble decide otherwise.

Deccan Chargers won by 13 runs
Another back to the wall performance from Deccan Chargers. Bangalore will be shell shocked at this because it was their match to lose. Dravid put them on course to another successful chase but he fell at the wrong time. Kallis slowed down for too long and out pressure on himself and the rest. Al they needed was for someone to support Uthappa but it wasn’t good enough. Full credit to the way Ojha and Harmeet in particular bowled. RP too was effective, he got rid of Taylor, probably the best batsman at that stage to support Uthappa. Deccan move from seventh to fifth.
