Royals v Royal Challengers, IPL 2014, Abu Dhabi
Tambe takes four in Royals' big win
Royal Challengers Bangalore started poorly after being inserted by Rajasthan Royals. Yogesh Takawale edged Stuart Binny behind in the first over and Parthiv Patel was run-out off the very next delivery•BCCI
Royal Challengers just weren't able to get going, as incisive bowling from the Royals kept pegging them back. Sachin Rana was bowled for 3 by Shane Watson•BCCI
Legspinner Pravin Tambe was responsible for the Kohli's wicket, and he finished with 4 for 20 to dismiss Royal Challengers for 70 - the third-lowest total in the IPL•BCCI
Those hopes were quickly dashed, as Shane Watson hit a run-a-ball 24 to help take Royals home in 13 overs•BCCI
Kane Richardson removed Yuvraj Singh and AB de Villiers in two successive deliveries to leave Royal Challengers tottering on 5 for 4•BCCI
Poor shot selection did little to help Royal Challengers' cause. Albie Morkel played an ill-advised lob straight to Steve Smith at mid-off for 7•BCCI
Mitchell Starc had the openers Ajinkya Rahane and Karun Nair caught behind inside seven overs•BCCI
Virat Kohli was the team's top-scorer, but only two other players reached double digits. He fell in the 11th over after making a laboured 21•BCCI
Between those two dismissals, Sanju Samson was caught short trying to sneak in a second run, as Royal Challengers sought for an unlikely win•BCCI
