Kolkata Knight Riders have been going through a bad phase in IPL T20 season 2 with controversies not benefiting them either. Royal Challengers have also been going through a poor phase with controversies surrounding them too. So, there was the so called battle of the losers too where Bangalore Royal Challengers defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 5 wickets. Brendon McCullum won the toss and decided to bat. Most of the KKR batsmen struggled and they only managed to reach 139/6 in 20 overs by virtue of a 40 off 37 balls by Chris Gayle and 43 off 35 balls by Morne van Wyk. Anil Kumble had the best bowling statistics of 2 wickets for 16 runs. Bangalore was not terrific with their batting either and they kept on losing wickets at regular intervals while not being able to score most of the time. However, they managed to reach 143/5 in 19.5 overs by due to the innings of Shreevats Goswami (43 off 46 balls) and Mark Boucher (25 off 13 balls). Brad Hodge and Ishant Sharma did well with the bowl with figures of 3/29 and 2/15 respectively. Mark Boucher was awarded the Man of the Match for his speedy innings at the end.
