Kevin Pietersen struck a brisk 37 and Mark Boucher hit a breezy 36 as Royal Challengers Bangalore posted a competitive 149 for seven against Delhi Daredevils in their Indian Premier League match here today.

Opting to bat first, the Royal Challengers got off to a a disastrous start with in-form Jacques Kallis departing in the very first ball of the match and Robin Uthappa (3), the other opener, exiting in the second over.
