Bangalore ends Delhi's hopes
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 10 - 2009

Bangalore Royal Challengers and Delhi Daredevils crashed out of the Champions League Twenty20 after the former beat its Indian Premier League rival by eight wickets Saturday.
In a dramatic League B Super Eight match at the packed Chinnaswamy Stadium, Ross Taylor smashed a blistering 65 off just 38 balls to help Bangalore surpass the target of 139 with nearly five overs to spare.
Earlier, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Anil Kumble led from the front by grabbing three wickets to restrict Delhi Daredevils to a modest 138 for six.
Bangalore was only playing for pride as it was already out of contention for a semifinal berth after Cape Cobra's victory over Victoria Bushrangers in another League B match earlier in the day.
The eventful day saw the first match being delayed by one hour and 40 minutes and reduced it to 17-over-a-side affair due to bomb scare. The results meant no Indian side will play in the semifinals in the $6 million tournament.
South African side Cape Cobras and Australia's Victoria Bushrangers made it to the semifinals from League B as both have collected four points each.
Delhi's last match at home against Cape Cobras Monday thus will be rendered inconsequential.
In the first match of the day Henry Davids cracked a breezy half-century as Cape Cobras also registered an eight-wicket victory over Victoria Bushrangers.
Paceman Monde Zondeki (2/21) inflicted early blows to restrict Victoria to 125 for five. The South African side then rode on an unbeaten 54-ball 69 by Davids to overhaul the target with one over to spare.
Scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore 139 for 2 (Taylor 65, Dravid 32*) beat Delhi Daredevils 138 for 6 (Sehwag 47, Kumble 3-20) by eight wickets
Cape Cobras 129 for 2 (Davids 69*) beat Victoria 125 for 5 (McDonald 29*, Zondeki 2
