Considering the poor performances of Kolkata Knight Riders in the tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore had the best chance to lighten up their march towards semifinal on a batting track. But, Brett Lee and Kallis bowled well to start and despite 7th wicket record partnership of Champions League by RCB batsmen, KKR top order of Haddin, Kallis and Gambhir registered an easy victory taking them to third place in the group.
