Deccan Chargers and Bangalore Royal Challengers both came to the IPL as the underdogs after a dismal performance last year. But they started this year well with a win each. But Deccan Chargers seemed more consistent and so they were the favorites. Adam Gilchrist, the Deccan Chargers captain won the toss and decided to bat. Gilchrist (71 off 45 balls) led the way with support from Rohit Sharam (52 off 30 balls) to post a total of 184/6 in their 20 overs which is also the highest total in IPL 2 till now. Bangalore started off badly with Jesse Ryder bowled for duck by Edwards and their top order failed miserably. Though Rahul Dravid (48 off 27 balls) and Virat Kohli (50 off 32 balls) in the middle order did their best to revive the match but the high target had already slipped off their hands. Bangalore Royal Challengers could only make 160/8 in their 20 overs and were defeated by 24 runs. In the bowling, R P Singh from the Chargers bowled another good spell of 4/17 in his 4 overs to get the purple cap for the highest wicket taken in IPL 2 till now. Adam Gilchrist was awarded the Man of the Match for his blazing innings of 71 off 45 balls.
