Royal Challengers were looking a revived side under new captain Anil Kumble as they took on Mumbai Indians in the 28th Match of the IPL T20 season 2. Sachin Tendulkar won the toss and decided to bat. Most of the Mumbai batsmen faltered once again and they could only make 149/4 in 20 overs on a batsman friendly pitch. Sanath Jayasuriya and Dwayne Bravo top scored for the Mumbai Indians with scores of 52 off 43 balls and 50 off 40 balls respectively. IPL debutant Dillon du Preez bowled exceptionally well for the Royal Challengers taking 3 wickets for 32 runs in his 4 overs. Banglore Royals Challengers cruised to the target in 18.1 overs with the help of steady batting performance by Jacques Kallis’ (69 off 59 balls) and Robin Uthappa (66 off 42 balls) and also helped by pathetic bowling by the Mumbai Indians. Jacques Kallis was awarded the Man of the Match due to his steady batting and bowling performances.

Kings XI Punjab were the semi-finalists in IPL T20 season 1 but this year they failed to impress with two consecutive losses in their first two matches. Rain was also not favorable and Preity Zinta’s team had matches affected by rain too. Bangalore Royal Challengers was not very impressive too under new captain Kevin Pietersen with two consecutive losses although they won their first match against Rajasthan Royals. Today’s 11th Match of IPL T20 season 2 was important for both sides. Pietersen won the toss and decided to bat but he was himself unimpressive once again and went off for a duck. However, some good batting by Jacques Kallis (62 off 46 balls), Ross Taylor (35 off 22 balls) and Jesse Ryder (32 off 21 balls) helped the Challengers to reach a total of 168/9 in 20 overs. Yusuf Abdulla and Irfan Pathan had the best bowling statistics for the Kings with 4/31 and 3/35 respectively. The Kings started their batting without taking much risks and Ravi Bopara (84 off 59 balls) steered the Kings XI Punjab to victory with valuable contributions from Yuvraj Singh (30 off 17 balls) and Kumar Sangakkara (26 off 18 balls) with one over to spare. Ravi Bopara was awarded the Man of the Match for his 84 runs off 59 balls.
