Bangalore Royal Challengers and Deccan Chargers were both almost sure of semi-final berth unless this last league match of IPL T20 season 2 was a completely one-sided match making significant changes to their net run rate. And as it was expected the match was close enough like any other match for both of them to qualify into the semi finals. Anil Kumble won the toss and decided to bat. A new opening combination was tried in the form of Manish Pandey with Jacques Kallis where the young Manish Pandey became the first Indian every to score a century in the Indian Premier League and the second player to score a century in IPL 2 after AB De Villiers. Manish Pandey scored 114 runs from merely 73 balls to guide his team to 170/4 in 20 overs. Deccan Chargers lost their wickets frequently and except Hershelle Gibbs (60 off 43 balls) none of the Deccan batsmen looked good and they ended at 158/6 in 20 overs. Manish Pandey was awarded the Man of the Match for his brilliant century.
