IPL Game 15 - Bangalore Royal Challengers vs Chennai Super Kings at Bangalore
Game 15 is halfway complete with Bangalore hosting Chennai.
Chennai won the toss and chose to bat first. A late flurry of runs from MS Dhoni and Michael Hussey took the Super Kings to 5/178, a pretty competitive total. Dhoni top scored with 65 from only 30 balls, his whirlwind knock included taking Dale Steyn for 24 runs off one over. Hussey too put the Bangalore bowlers to the sword, smashing 47 off 37 deliveries. Suresh Raina chipped in with 28 from 17.
The Bangalore bowlers did well early, openers Matthew Hayden and Parthiv Patel failed to get off to a blistering start but Dhoni, Hussey and Raina made sure their figures wouldn't be too flattering. Zaheer Khan took 3/38, the most effective bowler with Praveen Kumar the only other bowler to take a wicket with Raina being run out.
A good total on the board, will be interesting to see what Bangalore can come up with here.
Bangalore Royal Challengers XI: *R Dravid, W Jaffer, LRPL Taylor, JH Kallis, V Kohli, +MV Boucher, B Akhil, B Chipli, P Kumar, Z Khan, DW Steyn
Chennai Super Kings XI: PA Patel, ML Hayden, MEK Hussey, SR Raina, *+MS Dhoni, JDP Oram, S Badrinath, JA Morkel, Joginder Sharma, P Armanath, M Gony
