Royal Challengers Bangalore in their IPL match against Pune Warriors secured a 17-run victory at Subrata http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611 Sahara Stadium, Pune.
The tourists after winning the toss chose to bat first and with Gayle in the squad, fans were expecting some early fireworks. The Gayle factor was obviously a concern for Pune which is why they targeted him right from the start and before he could begin
his barrage of sixes, the Warriors nabbed his wicket with him on 21. At the time of his dismissal, Chennai had managed to post 36 runs on the board.
With Gayle out of their way, Pune had a mighty chance of bowling out their opponents on a meagre tally.
However, they let this opportunity slip by allowing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737 to forge a staggering partnership with the two batsmen leading their side towards 99 runs.
Dinda then had Kohli clean bowled; breaking the partnership and sending the batsman back home with 25 runs under his belt.
Tiwary was then joined by another outstanding batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Robert-Border-c43726 de Villiers and the two continued their impressive onslaught with hindrance.
After leading their side towards 119 runs, this partnership also met its demise on the wicket of Tiwary, who fell after scoring 52 runs.
Meanwhile, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-de-Villiers-c887 stayed unbeaten on 50 and MC Henriques on 27 at the two batsmen helped their side pile 187 runs for the loss of three wickets.
Pune had a 20-run opening stand after which they suffered their first loss on the wicket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Charles-Lennox-James-c44309 Finch, who hit the showers after scoring 15 runs.
The partnership between RV Uthappa and TL Suman led the side towards 46, before the latter became the second batsman from Pune to walk off the field. He scored 11 runs before losing his wicket on a run out.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 was then the third wicket, falling after hitting 16 runs, as he left his side stranded on 77.
RV Uthappa’s 75 and AD Mathews’ 32 were still not good enough to take their side across the finish line as Pune could reach 170 for the loss of nine wickets at the end of their 20 overs.
