The most underestimated side in the Indian Premier League – Rajasthan Royals have done it again. In the 12 th match of the league, they first restricted Royal Challengers to a small target and then chased the target with atmost ease. Warne’s lead team was in control of the match from the toss stage and it never looked they could loose today’s match. First the bowlers did a splendid job and then the batsmen also played excellent cricket to assure the win. Watson scored 61 (n.o) and Smith scored 49 and these two innings were sufficient to finish the job and make them victorious.

The underdogs of the league have again proved that they are into some serious cricket and are up for the challenge in the upcoming days.

Victorious Bangalore Royal Challengers captain Rahul Dravid paid tribute to man-of-the-match Mark Boucher after the South African’s unbeaten knock inspired victory at the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. Dravid admitted it was vital his team recovered from the setback of losing to Kolkata Knight Riders in their first match on Friday.

“What a cricketer he is, so cool under pressure,” Dravid said on Setanta Sports 2. “His partnership with Kallis was absolute gold. It just shows what a difference a bit of experience can make. “These guys have been in this position 50 or 60 times in games for their countries. You wouldn’t want anyone else there.
