Make a fist

Deccan Chargers were in control of the chase right throughout the innings despite losing Gilly and Rohit Sharma for not too many runs. Chennai looked like they would make a fist of this but Suman played a blinder once again and Symonds polished it off with a few lusty hits to keep the Chargers alive and kicking in the tournament. Both teams now face the herculean task of winning all their remaining games to entertain thoughts of a semi-final berth. Join us shortly for the presentation...

Please explain to me what "make a fist" means here.
