The Deccan Chargers won the 2009 Indian Premier League, defeating the Bangalore Royal Challengers 143 / 137. A great turnaround (in the USA, we call it "last to first") since the Chargers came in last in 2008.
The match was tense, with Bangalore mounting a comeback when Charger's bowler Andrew Symonds "struck out" Ross Taylor and Virat Kohli to kill the rally. Anil Kumble bowled well for the losing side and was named "Man of the Match".
Hopefully I didn't mangle the terminology too much (I know the proper term isn't strike out", but that's the US baseball word for stateside readers), and sorry if I did.
The next big cricket event is the ICC World Twenty20 from England, June 5 - June 21. In the USA, it will be shown on DirectTV for $125.
