bangalore wins or chennai wins nobody can predict because of the nature of the t20 game.enroute the semifinals bangalore has beaten all team and they have lost to all team except kolkata night riders.this shows that against the bangalore team nobody can take a guarantee that they will win on the other hand bangalore too cant be expected of a victory for granted.chennai has a good batting with hayden and raina in flow with dhoni supporting but their bowling is not that great except muali and he too has some off days in this tournament.dhoni himself has admitted that his bowling is the weakest which can cause problems for his team.bangalore is better equipped from the outlook with their consistence performance in the last 8 matches but cant expect every match for kallis,taylor and boucher to rescue.dravid after his return from india has done very very little and the same goes for viratkohli and the other local boys.only god can save uthappa in the team.but the allrounders are the plus for bangalore as u can expect them to contribute a bit.the bowling can be heavily dependent on anilkumble and he has not done bad at all so far and if he does anything wrong tomorrow then sure the chances are very little for RCB.having said all these things still its anybody's game and i firmly beleive no one has an edge over other in this t20 semis its 50-50.

He was last year but his over confidence on his own instincts cost for his team..Sending Kaif home,excluding Smith on the decider match was a big mistake..he made unnecasary shuffle in the batting order.. last year they palyed as a team but this year most of the match they won on individual brilliance..Yusuf pathan won 3 games..Warne is a gr8 leader but not good stratagist..
Kumble is ahead of him this year for bringing back hapless team to semis leading from the front.. his wickets and economy shows it all..May his team win the cup..

The matches RR won were because of his strategies. Compare individually each player in RR to other teams in terms of quality and see the difference. The fact that RR still came close to making semis without their last year stars shows how good he is. Smith was not in great form, if henderson didn't get run out and scored runs, everyone would have been praising him for the decision. Its all a gamble. You look great when it pays off but otherwise a fool. The trick is to make it work more often than not.

Don't think that u're the intelligent person here on this discussion board... insulting everyone's comments...You should be complacent that such a worst team RCB has made it to semi's. Can't even compare ur team with the other 3 teams...
The writter of these articles loves the word CRUSH .. he often uses it describe simple win or loss.
may be previously he was employed with some sugarcane juice center or road roller company .. or is a relaitive of Lalu ..( who wanted to crush varun gandhi)
Like Karthik PD said redf got to wake up...leading website should not consistently make mistakes.....
After restoring their pride in season-II, Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to stretch their dream run when they clash with Chennai Super Kings [Images] in their Indian Premier League [Images] semi-final match in Centurion on Friday.
