Banglore hold their nerves to end their loosing streak.

Banglore Royal Challengers Vs Kolkatta Knight Riders - Match 19 - Kingsmead, Durban - Bulletin

A sensational last over victory handed Banglore a much needed victory ending their four match loosing streak. Needing just 140 for victory Banglore started off their chase solidly with a 69 run first wicket partnership. Incidentally this was their first 50+ first wicket partnership for the tournament. Goswami who had replaced Uthappa at the top order played sensibly scoring 43 off 46 balls. But the Kolkatta bowling led by Hodge and Ishant made quick inroads into the Banglore batting line up. Banglore needed 10 runs of the final over with the scoreboard reading 129/5. The experienced Boucher, held his nerve and guided Banglore home. Gayle gave 1,4,2,2,4 in the crucial final over.

Earlier in the day Kolkatta started off disastrously with McCullum falling yet again for a first ball duck. McCullums form, rather loss of it is a big worry for Kolkatta and this can prove to be a decisive factor in the games to come. C Gayle once again proved his worth with solid 40 off 37 balls, but the unexpected star for Kolkatta came in the form of M Van Myk who remained unbeaten for a solid 43 of 35 balls. L Shukla's 21 of 15 balls helped add respectably to the Kolkatta score and they ended up scoring 139 runs at the end of their 20 over quota.
