Toss – Pune elected to field
Result – Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 130 runs.
Man of the Match – Chris Gayle

Today in the 31st match of Pepsi IPL 2013, Pune Warriors won the toss and invited Royal Challengers Bangalore to bat first. They had no clue of the Gayle Storm which were to attack them. Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan added 167 runs in 13.4 overs for the first wicket stand before Tillakaratne Dilshan got out after scoring 33. Gayle completed the fastest hundred in just T20 format as it took him just 30 balls to reach 100. Chris Gayle remained unbeaten on 175 off 66 balls and thus RCB posted a huge total of 263/5 in 20 overs.

Chasing an impossible target of 264, Pune Warriors got off to the worst possible start as they lost Robin Uthappa on the second ball of the innings when the scorecard read zero. Most successful Pune batsman, Aaron Finch also got out in the 5th over soon followed by Luke Wright and Yuvraj Singh. Pune were struggling at 42/4 in 5.4 overs before Steven Smith and Mitchell Marsh steadied the innings and took the score to 100. The run rate was far above the achievable mark and Pune batsmen in an attempt to get even close to it kept failing. Steven Smith top scored with 41 but the target was way to much and finally Pune could manage to score just 133/9 and thus lost the match by 130 runs.

Venue – M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore

Today in the 31st match of IPL Season 6, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Pune Warriors India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB who have won 5 out of 7 matches will be eying another win today to get on top of points table where as Pune has just 2 wins out of 7 and thus need to win this match to increase the points tally.

RCB who are high on morale with back to back wins will be relying much on the likes of Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli in the batting department.In bowling the unsung hero R Vinay Kumar holds the purple cap and will be the key bowler for RCB.

Pune on the other hand have problems in plenty, when the batsmen play well, the bowlers fumble and vice versa. In the last match against Punjab, they failed to defend 186 and against Sunrisers they failed to chase down 120. Also stats reveal how badly they had performed against RCB. They have lost all the three matches played against RCB so far and thus this will be stat they wish to change today.

Match 27 IPL 2013 – Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rajasthan Royals
Date – Sat Apr 20
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore
Toss – Royal Challengers Bangalore elected to field
Result – Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 7 Wickets

Today in the 27th match of IPL Season 6, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and elected to field first. Shane Watson and Ajinkya Rahane opened the innings for Rajasthan Royals but failed to give a solid start as Watson departed after scoring just 6 runs. Rahane also got out after scoring 14 and Royals were struggling at 26/2 in 5.2 overs. Once again captain Rahul Dravid came to his teams rescue, he along with Stuart Binny took the team score to 66 before S Binny got out after scoring quickfire 33 off 20 balls. With this wicket, RCB bounced back into the game and the bowlers ripped apart the lower middle order of Rajasthan. From 66/3 the Rajasthan Royals got all out for 117 in 19.4 overs.

Chasing 118 to win, Tillakaratne Dilshan and Chris Gayle opened the innings for RCB and gave them flying start as they scored 53 runs in 6.4 overs before Tillakaratne Dilshan got out after scoring 22 ball 25. Captain Virat Kohli also got out cheaply as RCB scorecard read 57/2 in 7.4 overs. AB De Villers was the next wicket to fall for RCB and it looked that Rajasthan Royals will jump back into the game. But Chris Gayle (49 off 44 balls 4×4, 1×6) and Saurabh Tiwary (25 off 29 balls 2×4, 1×6) then played sensibly and took their team to a superb 7 wicket win with 13 balls to spare.
