RCB finds a winning streak.

Just witnessed an absolute ripper of a match.

Kings XI Punjab, DEFEATED by Royal Challengers Bangalore, would you believe it? Have to have seen it to believe it, really. But it was brilliant, purely for the fact that Punjab was in the driver's seat right until the 18th over. Then Kumble bowled an amazing 19th over, giving just 4 runs and taking a wicket, when 17 runs were needed to win. And then along came Praveen Kumar, who claimed two wickets in the final over and restricted the runs to clinch the match for Bangalore.
The best part really, was that Yuvraj... took a hattrick and scored a half century, but managed to SOMEHOW, end up on the losing side. He got the man of the match award, deservedly. But it was still pretty amazing. Virat Kohli fielded, in the commentators' words, "like a demon". He took a ton of catches, seemed to be everywhere on the field. Brilliant stuff.

I love close matches between teams that I'm not really supporting lol. Because it's not that nerve wrecking. When it's Deccan or Chennai, I'd prefer that the team I'm backing convincingly trash the opposition. :P Either way, two good matches today. :) Mumbai and Bangalore winning. Deccan Rajasthan tomorrow and I'm going to be chewing my nails off for that one I bet.
