Bangalore 184-6 (20 overs) (J. H. Kallis 68, V. Kohli 58); ‡Deccan Chargers 186-3 (19.2 overs)

The Chargers' death
bowling was exposed once again as Bangalore fought back from 68-4 after 10.1 overs and stole 92
off the final 36 balls. But Tirumalasetti Suman chose the occasion to display his pedigree, steadily
opening up before Andrew Symonds led the final push. Deccan picked up the first of the five
successive wins they now needed to make the semis.
