This being KTK’s first match there was an element of surprise and some surprise it was! Baz started off quickly and VVS even quicker! What a sight it was to see VVS smash sixes and when he did get out KTK were 80/1 after 9 with 54% COW. After losing momentum while Jayawardene struggled for 18 KTK ended well as Baz scored 45, Hodge 27 and Jadeja 23* to take them to 161/5 with 56% COW. Dilshan fell for one but Kohli and Agarwal flayed the attack and by the time they both were out RCB were 85/3 after 10 with 45% COW. AB and Tiwary couldn’t quite catch the required run rate and RCB’s COW plummeted to 40% as they reached 129/3 after 17 needing 32 runs in next 3 overs. But debutant Gomez’s debut turned from bad to worse as he followed his golden duck with a 20 run over that pretty much sealed the fate as AB scored a brilliant fifty to take RCB home in 18.4 overs. |
