If you're a RCB supporter, then Harshal Patel is a delight to watch. Doing so much with the ball.

If you're a RR supporter, you want to see the back of him. He's too stressful.

Edit:

Rajasthan Royals 83/4 (98 runs required from 42 balls, RR: 6.38, RRR: 14.00)

Too much for Rahane to do on his own... gone! 87/5 and a mountain to climb.

Aravind to Faulkner, OUT, Aravind claims a catch, appeals. He is celebrating.. They go to the TV umpire. Legal ball. This was a low full toss, dips in on off. Faulkner shuffles across, aims to flick, gets an inside edge onto the front boot and lobs it back to Aravind. Smart return catch. RR slide to 92 for 6

So unlucky!

RR capitulation is becoming embarrassing

 

[Creag]

Eish... bring the end on already

Thankfully for RR it's all over. A big win for RCB.

RCB 180/4 (20/20 ov)
Rajasthan Royals 109 (19/20 ov)
Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 71 runs

RCB vs CSK

Winner plays MI in Sunday's final

AB de Villiers, Man of the Match: I haven't performed that well in the last couple of innings. I have no idea how we got to 180. We were looking at 140. The way Mandeep played was a Man-of-the-Match performance. The trophy will go to him after the presentation. CSK have won many tournaments and we know what we are up against.

His humility is amazing.

I'm against MI for some reason.. but like both CSK and RCB. Let's see Faf vs AB

I would love to see RCB lift the trophy. Sadly I'll be in the Bush with poor internet reception and no television. Going to take my spare phone for Vodacom reception and hope it's better out there than the shuts that Cell C "delivers". Should be back to catch the final on Sunday. Go RCB!

I had to read McT's post twice.....thought he was sharing his plans for a dirty weekend at first

Pfft! Pervert!

I'm in the bush in Limpopo

Cell C signal sucks!

Vodacom is crystal clear!

AB got a roughie... ball pitched outside leg and hit him high.

RCB need some quick wickets here, else CSK are through.

Sadly RCB lost. Crestfallen

Yup sad one.

Yeah. Was hoping they could go all the way. Been a real treat watching Gayle, Kohli and AB.

Cmon, there is a slight amount of pleasure everyone experiences when you see kohli's pissed off face after a dropped catch or lost wicket

 

[Creag]

Mumbai put up a great total ; 202/5. Makes the target 203 for CSK to lift the trophy. Going to take a big effort to get there.
