Royal Challengers Bangalore 215 for 8 (Dilshan 74, Kohli 70, Tait 5-32) strike South Australia Redbacks 214 for 2 (Harris 108*, Ferguson 70) by two wickets
Royal Challengers Bangalore scripted a striking entry into the semi-finals of the CLT20 when Arun Karthik hit a six off the last ball while chase a enormous 215 set by South Australia Redbacks here at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.
The tormentors-in-chief for the Redbacks, although, were Virat Kohli (70) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (74) who put on a 100-run partnership after a not-out century from Daniel Harris (108) had propel the visitors to a mammoth total.
Dilshan continued with Kohli and the pair pummel the Redbacks' attack to all corners of the park for a 100-run partnership within nine overs before Kohli became Shaun Tait's first victim for 70. Kohli faced 36 balls and hit four boundaries and hity six sixes out of the park.
Dilshan sustained on the quest, but the wickets kept plummeting around him as Shaun Tait found his radar, and dismiss Saurabh Tiwary, follow by the in-form Dilshan (74) with 15 runs still needed off 11 balls.
Tait was not over, and he also got rid of Daniel Vettori and Raju Bhatkal in the 19th over to finish with 5/32 and give the South Australian team hope to still save a victory.
However, Sreenath Aravind made up for his unhappy bowling by scoop a four over the wicketkeeper, running a bye and Arun Karthik hit the winning six off the final ball to see the Redbacks crashing out of the competition.
Earlier elect to bat, the Australian outfit made a mockery of the unfortunate RCB bowlers to post the highest total in the event. The Redbacks have four points and need a victory to take the top slot.
The last six overs twisted 92 runs with Sreenath Aravind being hit for 69 runs in his four over spell. The manner in which the left-arm seamer was hit all over the park may critically dent his chances of making it to the playing XI against England.
For the Australian side, Harris was the star of the innings.
The right hander took charge from the word go with his impudent strokes that stunned the RCB bowlers. His wonderful innings was laced with 17 hits to the fence and two sixes one of which was the one which help him reach his maiden T20 ton.
Ferguson was equally brilliant at the other end, scoring a 43-ball 70, studded with four boundaries and three sixes.
After losing Captain Michael Klinger (7), Harris connected hands with Ferguson as the second wicket pair stitch an aggressive century partnership of 114 runs coming off only 75 balls.
Harris show no respect to RCB's left arm seamer Dirk Nannes, hitting him for four successive boundaries taking 18 runs in the process. He was mainly severe on Arvind, creaming 28 runs in two overs.
For RCB, Syed Mohammad and Rajoo Bhatkal claim a wicket apiece.
