ransacked 23 off five balls in the penultimate over from Lakshmipathy Balaji, and in all collected 39
off his last ten balls as Bangalore galloped from 119 after 17 overs to 171. Chennai, already without
the injured Dhoni, suffered a mortal blow when Hayden was run out by a brilliant underarm throw
from Rahul Dravid.
