like Chris Gayle. Dirk Nannes has been flop. They have strong batting
line up but they yet to deliver. Fans want more from Opener Tilakaratne Dilshan
and Virat Kohli. AB de Villiers has been ruled out due to injury it is
a big blow for them.

has been abandoned due to rain but they still have 3 points and two matches to
play.
South African Roelof van der Merwe will also be hoping to perform for his club
once again and get a ticket of semi final by wining this match. Trego has been
their regular performer with bat. Gregory got two wickets only sacrificing 9 runs
so he will also be a threat to Vijay Mallya's team.

to go through semi final it is their only hope.

final. Somerset; on the other hand on the verge of semifinal, they do believe
that. Only one thing can save RCB and that is a miracle from Chris Gayle
like before.
