Kevin Pietersen scored a commanding half-century to help Bangalore snatch a six-wicket victory over Mohali in their IPL clash.
Bangalore win by 6 wickets with 5 balls to spare. Mohali choke once again and nothing seems to be goind their way. Mohali looked to be in control of the match till the sixteenth over as the Bangalore batsmen seemed to be dealing in singles and doubles, but in came Robin Uthappa and a brisk knock of 22 off just 8 balls, turned the game in Bangalore's favour.
A good contribution from Kevin Pietersen, who played the sheet anchor role and was unbeaten on 66 off 44 balls. He was supported well by Virat Kohli who played a gritty knock of 42 runs off 26 balls and together they put on a 76 run partnership.
Mohali made a mess of that defence and a poor effort in the field, with a number of dropped catches and misfields, just did not help their cause. The bowling for Mohali was very ordinary and the campaign seems to be over for Mohali with that defeat.
They are at the bottom of the table and with the win tonight Bangalore move to number two in the table.
