Hyderabad’s Deccan Chargers scored a convincing 10-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians while Punjab Kings XI beat Dubai Daredevils by four wickets in another match of the IPL yesterday.Adam Gilchrist scored the fastest century of the tournament as the Deccan Chargers raced to their first win. The battle between the two bottom-ranked teams was a no-contest once Gilchrist teed off.Andrew Symonds had got a century off 47 deliveries in the previous game but Gilchrist needed only 42 as he decimated the weak Mumbai attack.Pulls and cuts were played with ease as Mumbai’s quicker bowlers erred in length, and after six fours, Gilchrist hit his first six, lofting Sanath Jayasuriya over deep midwicket.In all he struck nine boundaries and 10 sixes in his unbeaten 109 of 48 deliveries (strike rate 227.08) as Deccan Charges cruised past the Mumbai target of 154 with 44 balls to spare and all 10 wickets in tact.The other opener Laxman faced only 29 deliveries for his 36 (five fours) during the unbeaten 155 run partnership.
