Toss Royal Challengers Bangalore chose to bowl v New South Wales
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Two days after having successfully chased 215, Royal Challengers Bangalore chose to chase again as opposed to set the pace in a potentially explosive semi-final. They even strengthened their batting by bringing in Mohammad Kaif, a batsman who hardly bowls, to replace the injured J Syed Mohammad, a specialist bowler. They also continued to trust the left-arm medium-pacer S Aravind, who went for 69 runs in the last match.
New South Wales, playing in Bangalore for the first time, went in with the same XI that helped them qualify for the semi-final. They persisted with Stuart Clark, who was impressive on the slow Chennai surface but was not certain to keep his place on the true and bouncy Bangalore track.
Royal Challengers Bangalore: 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Saurabh Tiwary, 5 Mayank Agarwal, 6 Mohammad Kaif, 7 Daniel Vettori (capt.), 8 Raju Bhatkal, 9 Arun Karthik (wk), 10 S Aravind, 11 Dirk Nannes
New South Wales: 1 David Warner, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Steven Smith, 4 Moises Henriques, 5 Daniel Smith (wk), 6 Simon Katich (capt.), 7 Ben Rohrer, 8 Steve O'Keefe, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Pat Cummins, 11 Stuart Clark
