Bangalore Royals Lost To Chennai Super Kings in IPL

Chennai Super Kings have got their campaign back on track with a 92-run win in their second game. This was the highest total achieved in Twenty20 at Port Elizabeth and Bangalore, chasing 180, were only able to manage 87 runs. The Royal Challengers lost too many wickets and were just not good enough to handle the pressure today. Muttiah Muralitharan and Andrew Flintoff were the stars with the ball after Matthew Hayden appropriated the Orange cap from Rahul Dravid. It's all even stevens after the first five matches in this IPL. Join us tomorrow at 4:00 pm IST for yet another day of double-header action. It's Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals tomorrow.
