Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bat first, though they kept losing wickets at regular interval but Tendulkar, Saurabh Tiwary, R Satish, K Pollard chipped in with small yet useful innings. At one stage it looked they would not reach 150 run mark but a cameo from Zaheer Khan helped them score 151/9 in 20 overs. The collapse of middle order helped Royal Challengers restrict them to a low total thus helped them stop the winning path of Mumbai Indians

Royal Challengers Bangalore Innings
After restricting Mumbai Indians for 151, it was the turn of batsmen to guide them to victory. Royal Challengers Bangalore got off to a flying start and scored 85/1 in 9.5 overs. Manish Pandey and Jacques Kallis again shattered the opponent bowling attack and took control of the match. Though in middle orders, it looked that Mumbai Indians have some chance as the match was taken to last over. But Royal Challengers Bangalore batsmen kept the cool and finally won the match by 7 wickets. Jacques Kallis was given man of the match due to his excellent performance. Once again it was Kallis who stole the show and helped the RCB win a match.

This was the first loss of Mumbai Indians where as now it looks that Royal Challengers Bangalore are on a winning streak as today they have defeated the most formidable side of IPL 3.

Match: 13th T20, IPL3
Venue: Ahmedabad
Date: March 20, 2010
Toss: Rajasthan Royals elected to bat
Result: Rajasthan Royals Win By 34 Runs

Rajasthan Royals Innings
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat first but they got to a dismal start as they lost Michael Lumb on the very first ball of the match.Faiz Fazal and Naman Ojha then steadied the innings and played some shots. Just when it looked that Rajasthan Royals are getting back on track, they lost Fazal and soon after Ojha. Rajasthan Royals superstar Yusuf Pathan could also score just 15 runs and at one stage it looked they could not cross the 150 mark. But then a fine performance by A Jhunjhunwala and A Voges helped the team score 168/7 in 20 overs

Kolkata Knight Riders Innings
Chasing a target of 169, Kolkata Knight Riders started off with caution. Rajasthan Royals also shocked them by opening the bowling with Yusuf Pathan, though this gamble paid off as he took two wickets and never allowed the batsmen to score runs with ease. Kolkata Knight Riders were cramped for runs and with each over, the required run rate was mounting on them. Though singles and doubles were coming off easily but it was fours and sixes which they needed. Kolkata Knight Riders were 109/3 in 16 overs and needed 60 runs in last 4 overs. Owais Shah did hit few sixes and the target was 42 needed in 2 overs. But an over from Shaun Tait changed the whole game for KKR. He bowled a wonderful second last over and the equation changed. Kolkata Knight Riders needed 37 runs in last over and it was all over for Shahrukh’s KKR. They lost the match by 34 runs.

With this win, Rajasthan Royals have finally opened the account in points table and are now one place ahead of Kings XI Punjab.
