Super Kings march past RCB

Cape Town - Left-arm paceman Ashish Nehra took 4-10 to enable the Chennai Super Kings to cruise to a 27-run Indian Premier League win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Wednesday.

According to the supersport.com website, Chennai set a challenging target of 182, thanks in part to a vigorous effort from Faf du Plessis at the head of the tail, but the Challengers, despite their name, were never able to build a partnership which would offer a fight.

It was Du Plessis in the field that got the ball rolling after the Challengers set off in pursuit of a run-rate of just over nine. The South African took a brilliant catch, one handed, diving back to dismiss Manvinder Bisla (17), with the score on 31 in the fourth over.
