How Chennai lost their way against spirited Bangalore last night
>> Robin Uthappa's rollicking 33-ball 47-run partnership with Virat Kohli and 52 from 19-balls with Mark Boucher was the hub around which RCB conjured an intimidating 171 for five.

>> Muttiah Muralitharan was bowled out before the death overs and that proved costly for the Super Kings. Both L Balaji and R Aswhin were taken to the cleaners by Uthappa.
>>u00a0Chennai Super Kings have a good fielding unit but they dropped Uthappa twice in the match and that proved to be the difference. The right-hander was first dropped on five and later on 25.
>>u00a0Rahul Dravid may have not had an impact on the game as he was dismissed for just 14. But the former India skipper had the biggest say in the field, running out the dangerous Matthew Hayden out with a direct hit when the burly Australian was on 32 off 28 balls.
>> Chasing 171, Super Kings needed a good start but Praveen Kumar sent Parthiv Patel back in the very first over and RCB bowled well to George Bailey, the next man in. He managed just 18 off 27 balls, which sky-rocketed the asking rate.
>>u00a0Anil Kumble picked up just one wicket, but kept things really tight and CSK never managed to get the big hits that would have allowed them to keep the asking rate in check. Kumble's final analysis read 4-0-15-1.
