It was a very good match at the end with Cobra's crushing RC Bangalore.
The toss was won by RC captain Anil Kumble, who elected to bat & predicted that 150 would be a good total.
Jack Kallis & Robin Uttappa opened for the RC & for the first time in several months Uttappa looked comfortable. While Kallis was back to pavillion soon.. It was left to Uttappa to up t he rate, since at the other end Rahul Dravid was just trying to kiss the ball.
However saying that one should not ignore Dravid, who somehow has started to play smartly, from the IPL season 2.
Although he hardly played any lofty shots, but his shot selected improved. He also took the balls to the stadium for a SIX!!!!!
But the star was undoubtedly Ross Taylor, who simply showed everyone, why he is the most dangerous batsmen in the last 10 over of a T20 match..
Soon the ball was tossing around the stadiums as boundries rained for RCB.. Ross Talyor made his half century in 20 odd balls.
Uttapa was out at 51. Beacuse of both these plus a lot of help from Cobra's fielders , the RCB managed to finish at 180/4.
RCB started well with Cobra's first two batsmen back in pavillion in under 5 overs. But then Duminy exploded on RCB. He managed to even upset Kallis, his fellow team mate, who usually is a very calm person..
In the end Cobra's prevailed & it was a great match.
I hope the RCB get on & win the next one
