RCB sails through with an easy win

Sidelights:

The defending IPL champions Mumbai Indians are clueless at the moment. They not only lost the first game easily against the KKR but even in this game they looked totally unfocused whether it was batting, bowling or fielding. The peak of their clueless attitude came when there was a thin age by Parthiv Patel during a Malinga over and was well taken by Tare but no one appealed and game kept on going! It may not have made any effect to the ultimate result but MI needs to focus soon else they will be out of the fray very soon. For RCB it was a clinical performance to say the least. Despite loosing 3 quick wickets including their never failing captain Virat Kohli, Parthiv Patel and AB de Villiers first saw through the weather and then played the MI bowling on their own conditions and surpassed the target with 15 balls to spare. Still early days in the competition but RCB looks an all round side this time around and will go long for sure.
