Match 49 IPL: RR Vs RCB – Kallis falls as Bangalore chase 131
The Royal Challengers Bangalore restricted the Rajasthan Royals to 130-6 at the Sawai Man Singh stadium on Wednesday. The losing side here will only have an academic chance to remain in contention for the last four.
After Rajasthan elected to bat, early wickets rocked their innings with their top three batsmen back in the hut for 21 runs in the fourth over. And when an unusually sedate Shane Watson (22 off 25) perished, the home side were looking down the barrel.
Yusuf Pathan (11 off nine) smashed two back-to-back boundaries before Dale Steyn cleaned him up.
An unbroken 58-run stand between Adam Vogues (28 off 27) and Abhishek Raut (32 off 20) lifted them to a half-decent score on a sluggish surface.
Rajasthan brought in speedster Kamran Khan and Amit Paunikar in place of Faiz Fazal and Aditya Dole, while Bangalore replaced Cameron White and KP Appanna with Kevin Pietersen and Pankaj Singh.
