Know it was rather clear that Bangalore Royal Challengers were already out of the semi finals but still they would like to win for the pride and on the other hand Rajasthan Royals were on the top of the table and they would like to maintain their position on the top.So captain of the Bangalore Royal Challengers won the toss and chose to field first.
So this time Shane Warne again change their openers.G Smith and Asnodhkar were the openers this time.And again the opening stand for the Rajasthan Royals played a good role and their first wicket partnership was of 109.The first one to get out was Asnodhkar who scored 50 of 44.Kumble took his wicket in the 13th over when score was 109.Then came Watson to bat and the partnership between Watson and G Smith remained unbeaten till the end.So Rajasthan Royals made 197 in their 20 over with the loss of just one wicket.G Smith scored 75 of 49 with 8 fours and 2sixes and Watson scored 46 of 28 with 6 fours.
This target was never easy for the Bangalore Royal Challengers and the early fall wickets also did not help their cause.They lost their first 3 wickets in 2.2 over and apart from Rahul Dravid nobody stayed on the bat for a long time.Dravid scored 75 of 36 with 6 sixes and 6 fours and remaind not out till the end but this was not enough to take them to victory.So Bangalore Royal Challengers made 132 with the loss of 9 wicket and loss the match by 65 runs.G Smith got the man of the match for his great knock.
