Royal Challengers Bangalore were knocked out of IPL 5 after losing to Deccan Chargers by 9 runs, making way for Chennai Super Kings into the play-offs in game 71 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Both RCB and CSK ended with 17 points, but a better run-rate (+0.100) pushed CSK into the play-offs and will take on Mumbai Indians in the first eliminator round in Bangalore on May 23. Delhi Daredevils will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the first qualifier in Pune on May 22.
RCB skipper Virat Kohli (42) provided some resistance in the middle but Chargers pace sensation Dale Steyn and leg-spinner Amit Mishra's impressive bowling performance crushed Bangalore to 123/9.
In a must-win game, RCB batsmen faced the real test after the early loss of Chris Gayle (27). Criticized for being overdependent on the Jamaican giant, batsmen found it difficult to keep up the momentum on a slow track.
Chargers pacer Steyn struck again claiming the important wicket of Tillakaratne Dilshan (4). Saurabh Tiwary was retired hurt due to a hamstring niggle. AB de Villiers came in for Tiwary but failed to hang on for long.
Deccan leg-spinner Amit Mishra double-strike in the 10th over put a huge dent in RCB's run chase. De Villiers (4) and Mayank Agarwal (1) were dismissed in the space of four balls.
After Mishra's double blow, Tiwary (30) returned to the field, who along with skipper Kohli added a steady 46-run stand for the fifth wicket. Deccan bowler Ashish Reddy claimed the wicket of Kohli putting Tiwary under pressure with the run-rate soaring.
Pressure eventually mounted over Tiwary who fell off Veer Pratap Singh. With 14 required off the last over, Reddy dismissed Vinay Kumar(7) and Muttiah Muralitharan(0).
Deccan Chargers ended their campaign on high with two wins in a row knocking out Rajasthan Royals and Bangalore. Deccan finish above Pune Warriors in eighth spot with nine points.
