Twenty20 match | 2009 season
Played at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg (neutral venue)
23 May 2009 - day/night (20-over match)


Chennai Super Kings innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
PA Patel	lbw b Kallis	36	27	7	0	133.33
8.4 the bowling change works! Pitches probably an inch or two outside leg (at least according to the tramline), drifts away and catches him on the pad in front of the offstump, Taufel is happy with the appeal 69/2
ML Hayden	c Pandey b Vinay Kumar	26	19	2	1	136.84
6.6 Bangalore have got the valuable breakthrough! Hayden tries to mow him across the line again but Vinay takes the pace off the ball, he doesn't get the desired elevation and Pandey takes it comfortably at deep midwicket 61/1
MS Dhoni*†	c Vinay Kumar b van der Merwe	28	30	0	0	93.33
17.2 well-judged catch by Vinay! Dhoni charges down the pitch on seeing the flight and nearly succeeds in going downtown but Vinay watches it closely at long-on, falls backwards just inches from the rope 125/4
SK Raina	c †Boucher b Kumar	20	19	1	1	105.26
14.1 and another bowling change works! Praveen Kumar very cleverly bowls the slow leg cutter and Raina, who chips down the pitch, miscues the loft and the ball is chipped in the air, Boucher snaps it easily 104/3
JA Morkel	not out	20	17	1	1	117.64

JDP Oram	c Uthappa b Vinay Kumar	9	7	0	1	128.57
19.2 just pitches it up a bit outside off and Oram reaches out and tries to scoop it over third man but the ball lands in Uthappa's palms just in front of the rope, Uthappa makes a gesture to the crowd with his arms stretched 140/5
S Badrinath	not out	1	1	0	0	100.00

Royal Challengers Bangalore innings (target: 147 runs from 20 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
JH Kallis	c Patel b Gony	9	7	2	0	128.57
1.4 Kallis doesn't look very thrilled as he trudges back, the ball holds its line outside off and kallis shapes to play an off drive, there's a thin nick and both the bowler and keeper are confident, Kallis didn't look back, the stump cam picked up a nick 17/1
MK Pandey	b Jakati	48	35	7	0	137.14
12.3 the arm ball foxes him! Very slow through the air and Pandey goes for the slog way too early and loses his leg stump which lands a yard back 94/3
RE van der Merwe	b Morkel	2	5	0	0	40.00
2.5 what a comeback and the legstump goes for a spin! van der Merwe exposes his stumps and Morkel fires a yorker on the stumps, the batsman fails to squeeze it out and watches the stump disappear, and Murali is the most relieved of the lot 22/2
R Dravid	lbw b Muralitharan	44	39	6	0	112.82
15.1 Is there a twist here? Murali lands it on middle and leg from round the wicket and the ball straightens, Dravid shapes to sweep but he's caught on the base of the pad, Taufel raises the finger, Hawkeye shows it hitting the middle stump 110/4
