Royal Challengers Bangalore lost yet again in the DLF- Indian Premier League. Replying to the target of 192 set by Delhi DareDevils, Royal Challengers started poorly and lost the first wicket in the very first over. Praveen Kumar was the one to get out to Glen McGrath. Then Taylor and Wassim Jaffer took the score to 46 before Taylor got out. Jaffer soon followed and Royal Challengers were reeling at 48/3. Captain Rahul Dravid came to the center and played responsibly. He scored 38 runs in 30 balls, his personal best so far in the tournament. But in order to increase the run rate he mistimed a shot and scooped the ball straight up in air. Captain was caught by captain – Virender Sehwag and the score of Royal Challengers was 135/4 in 15.3 overs.It was Boucher and Kallis on whose shoulders lied the responsibility to take the team to victory. Kallis scored the half century by hitting Asif for a straight four.In the second last over Kallis got bowled on 54 by Vettori. In the last over Royal Challengers needed 30 runs and they were able to score 20.So Delhi DareDevils Won the match by 10 runs
