At Bangalore, April 10, 2010. Royal Challengers Bangalore won by seven wickets. Kolkata
Knight Riders 160-9 (20 overs) (S. C. Ganguly 33, C. H. Gayle 34, B. B. McCullum 45; R. Vinay
Kumar 3-23); ‡Royal Challengers Bangalore 162-3 (17.1 overs) (R. Dravid 52, R. V. Uthappa
50*). MoM: R. Vinay Kumar.
Kolkata got off to a blazing start, but Vinay Kumar played a vital
hand in restricting the total, which was overhauled without much bother by the controlled aggression
of Dravid, with his first fifty of the season, and another example of the brutal force of Uthappa,
whose 50* came from 22 balls.
