Note
Zimbabwe : the team which has been playing International cricket for quite some time and although their test & ODI performance were not upto the mark - they had beaten Australia in the inaugural twenty20 world cup in south africa.. yet - they have opted out of this 2nd T20 World Cup. Reason : Zimbabwe cricket doesn't think UK Government will issue visas for their team members! strange but true..

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Deccan Chargers Live IPL Score

The race to reach the semifinals is finishing with a thrilling climax set here in Super Sport Club, Centurion when resurgent Royal Challengers Bangalore and Deccan Chargers meet. Not just a clash for semi finals makes this match interesting, but these were the two teams that were placed last during IPL 2008 and now they are fighting hard for a semifinal spot. Great comeback by both the teams!

Inconsistency has been ruling both the teams, after they’ve had dazzling starts and now is the time to pull their socks up for last fling. RCB has been rising under the leadership of Kumble but is the team becoming more and more dependant on the batting likes of Kallis and Dravid? Uthappa and Ross Taylor will need to support the two walls against Charging Deccan bowlers like Pravin Kumar Kumble.

Kumble’s bowlers will be put to test when Gilchrist and Gibbs are attacking. At the same time on Deccan Chargers side, we know what an all rounder Rohit Sharma has turned out to be lately and how Andrew Symonds can be thorn in the flesh. So in all, it will be an interesting clash of 2 balanced sides. I love Adam Gilchrist and would be happy to see them winning, but as a Bangalorean my heart goes out to Kumble and Dravid.
