This was a match between the team that won and came 7th. Rajasthan were the clear favourites going into this match and were very confident and they had every reason to be: they have a very good team, so good that they were champions last year. I personally wanted Bangalore to win because it has Dravid in it and he is my favourite player. Bangalore won the toss and decided to bat.
Rajasthan got a brilliant start by taking 2 wickets in the first over. But Bangalore managed to recover, thanks to Dravid's 66, to 133/8. Quite a competitive score.
Bangalore got an equally good start taking 2 wickets in the first 3 overs. Thanks to some excellent bowling from Kumble, who took the best figures in T20 - 5 for 5, Rajasthan only got to 58 and were all out.
So another surprise - Bangalore win by 75 runs. Dravid got the man of the match award.
Table as it stands:
