IPL CRICKET 2010
Chennai Vs Bangalore on Wednesday
Bangalore: The writing was on the wall for Chennai super Kings when Robin Uthappa blasted an unbeaten 68 off 38 balls mainly on dropped chances and helped royal Challengers Bangalore put up a healthy total of 171 for five in the IPL match on Tuesday.In the end, the Bangalore team walked away with a comfortable 36 run win to had Chennai Super Kings their third loss in five matches.
The Super Kings' reply was shaky as Hayden struggled to score at his usual pace and one-down bat George Bailey was all at sea against wily. Bangalore captain Anil Kumble. After Parthiv Patel departed early, the Chennai chase went up in smoke as the asking rate climbed to more than 11. Then Hayden (32 off 28 balls) was run out just when he seemed to step up the run rate and the team fell like nine pins to9 end up at 135 for seven.
Earlier, Chennai Super Kings showed they had a a problem of at the end of the innings, be it with bat, as in their last match against Kings XI, or ball as it turned out against RCB. Having struck at regular intervals to peg back the hosts to a modest 104 for 3 from their first 15 overs, the CSK bowlers, who should have pressed on from there, instead found themselves fetching the ball from well beyond the boundary ropes once too often.
Let off twice, first on five and then on 25, local lad Robin Uthappa made the visitors pay dearly with some out standing stroke play, all his six sixes, including one that went over the high roof, coming in the last four overs. Uthappa (68 not out, 38b, 3x4, 6x6) had somewhat struggled in the initial part of his innings but when he started to turn it on, he sure put CSK off.
