Australia's Bollinger was in great from

Doug Bollinger recorded figures of 4-13 to help Chennai Super Kings to a 38-run victory over Deccan Chargers in the Indian Premier League semi-finals.

Chennai made 142-7 from their 20 overs, with Subramaniam Badrinath (37) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (30) top scoring after they had made a poor start.

Australian Bollinger then produced an outstanding display to help restrict Deccan to just 104 from 19.2 overs.

Chennai now face Mumbai Indians at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

Deccan Chargers will take on Kevin Pietersen's Bangalore Royal Challengers in Saturday's third place play-off.

Pietersen was denied an IPL final appearance after his Bangalore Royal Challengers lost by 35 runs to Mumbai Indians on Wednesday.

Mumbai posted a formidable 184-5 as knocks from Saurabh Tiwary (52 no) and Ambati Rayudu (40) were supplemented by Kieron Pollard's 33.

Pietersen claimed the wicket of Abhishek Nayar, but could not impress with bat as he was dismissed for 19.

Ross Taylor's 31 not out proved in vain as Bangalore folded to 149-9.
