The target for Bangalore Royal Challengers could have been even steeper but thankfully it wasn’t or else Bangalore would have ended too far away. The start was terrible for the Royal Challengers as they lost too many wickets at the top. Kallis and Dravid did a brilliant job with that superb partnership in the middle but they always needed that one big over which could turn the tables. That never happened and the ask was too daunting in the end.

This match looked tight but it was always a comprehensive win if you look at the comparisons at crucial stages. Well then, with this win, Delhi move up to the second spot in the points tally, Bangalore plunge to deeper depths as they fail to impress yet again. By the way, tomorrow is no weekend but we have a double header on the cards.

Glenn McGrath is the Man of the Match for his spectacular bowling figures of 4 for 29 from his complete quota of 4 overs.

Once agin it goes with our view that 20Twenty Cricket requires a different mindset rather a mind free approach with less thinking and more action. Perhaps the Franchisee should keep a proper Cricket Consultant to develop strategies before every match and not depend on Captains with Test Match and ODI hangovers.
