29th March Cricket Coverage: It was bat and ball play with nerves between Bangalore Royal Challengers and Kolkatta Knight Riders that took upto the last but one ball to seal off the nerve-wrecking win for Bangalore. Mark Boucher hit a boundary off Chris Gayle to finish the winning shot, which took the score to 143/5 against KKR’s 139/6. Boucher’s unbeaten 25 came off 13 balls with a six and a four with Manish Pandey at the other end (2). Jacques Kallis and Shreevats Goswami laid the foundation well for Bangalore with an opening stand of 69 runs. Bangalore Captain Pietersen (13) and Virat Kohli (19) were taken in one over by Brad Hodge to rattle Bangalore.
Earlier KKR won the toss and elected to bat. Their captain Brenden Mccullum was out with a duck by the part-time bowler Kevin Pietersen in his first over. Kumble sent off Brad Hodge for (17) plumb in front for a fine delivery. Sourav Gangully pulled Praveen Kumar to deep mid-wicket for Kallis to take an easy catch. Morne van Wyk (44 not out) and Chris Gayle (40) were the top scorers for Kolkatta to take the score to 139/6. Kolkatta were losing wickets at regular intervals so as not to put a defendable total.
Mark Boucher was adjudged as the Man of the Match for his steely nerve in the final overs.
