RCB vs Kings XI, 24th match at Durban, IPL, May 01 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary

a hat-trick it won't be but Bangalore won't complain because they've upstaged Punjab! He cuts hard to point

timber! He fires in a fast yorker swinging in, Chawla chases it and gets a thik inside edge which flattens his offstump

Praveen gets away with a low full toss! Pathan stays at the crease and tries to club him over the sight screen but he strikes the ball off the bottom half of the bat and Kohli makes no mistake at long-on

superb change of pace, he swishes and meets thin air

take that! Irfan Pathan gets on his knee to a full delivery and square drive with brute power wide of deep backward point

Praveen jams in the yorker outside off and the batsman cannot dig it out

driven hard down the ground and an excellent save by Kohli at wide long-on saves the team two precious runs

attempts a reverse sweep and he misses

steps down the track and Kumble drops it short, he scoops it to deep point, there's hesitation for the second run

makes room and cuts to the off side

look at Kumble celebrate! He slips in the googly and drops it a bit short, Sanga makes room and tries to slap it somewhere but he fails to read the googly and loses his middle stump

drops it a bit short and he swings and the ball just misses the top of the stumps

pushes it to long-on and they call quickly for the second run and Sanga makes his ground, the throw was just wide of the bowler

comes down the pitch and the bowler fires a high full toss, he swings and fails to make proper contact

full outside off and jammed to cover

another bad delivery down the leg side, had the batsman got bat on it it would have disappeared for four

rank bad delivery and van der Merwe is peeved with himself! Full toss down the leg side and Pathan bashes it past short fine leg, oh well!

appeal for an lbw! He fires it down the leg side and Boucher thought it struck him in line with the leg stump, the ball beats him and runs away for four, leg byes signalled

now there's a twist in the tale! Jayawardene gets on his knee and tries to slice it high down to deep backward point but he ends up splicing it down to Kallis at backward point

he fetches that from wide outside off and places it to deep square-leg
