It was a must win situation for both the teams, be it Challengers or Otago. But it was Bangalore that stole the show and managed to grab a perfect win by 80 runs. Ofcourse when we say that the win was by a margin of 80 runs, then not many people would feel the excitement, but when we say that this win was grabbed in the T-20 format, it would surely excite all of you.
Of course, I saw the whole match and I was thoroughly mesmerized by an all-round performance of Kallis who took the match away from the opposition. What a batting and what a bowling. It was truly a delight watching him play the game.
All in all, I am happy that Challengers managed to grab a perfect win. Everything went according to plan. Actually I was expecting that Rahul would come at one down and stabilize the innings but Kallis too played a brilliant knock and stabilized one end in a brilliant way. Virat Kohli did a fantastic job and not to forget the awesome hitting by Roos Taylor that added a cherry on the cake. Not to forget the contributions by Uthappa and Kumble! I was mesmerizes after watching the last over of the Bangalore innings. It was sensational.
Of course, Otago’s players were looking restless after seeing a massive total on the board. Their players fell like a pack of cards and RCB managed to grab an easy win out of their hands! Now I am waiting for the next matches of this wonderful RCB team that I am betting on for the rest of the tournament.
