Jaipur crush Bangalore by 65 runs

The story of Bangalore's dismal run in the Indian Premier League continued as Jaipur came up with another impressive show at the Sawai Man Singh stadium to register a 65-run win, their eighth victory on Saturday. With this game in the bag, Jaipur are almost sure of qualifying for the semi-finals. After posting 197-1, Jaipur restricted Bangalore to 132-9 with Rahul Dravid's heroic knock going in vain.

After asked to take first strike by Dravid, it was an almost perfect outing for Jaipur as their top-order clicked, taking them to the imposing total without breaking into a sweat. A century stand by the openers and a blazing knock by the in-form Shane Watson ensured Bangalore had to play out of their skins for their elusive third win.
