Bangalore Royal Challengers beat Kolkata Knight Riders at Durban to win their second match of the IPL in the battle of the two lowest placed teams in the IPL.
Brendon McCullum won the toss and elected to bat first. Kevin Pietersen himself opened the bowling and picking up the wicket of McCullum off the first ball of the match, his side restricted the Knight Riders to 139 for six, Morne van Wyk top scoring with 43 and Anil Kumble, one of four spinners used, taking two for 16.
Young opener Shreevats Goswami then thumped 43 as the Royal Challengers raced away but were pegged back by wickets, Pietersen falling for 13. However, the experienced Mark Boucher made a vital unbeaten 25 in 13 balls to seal victory with a ball to spare. Kevin Pietersen signed off from the 2009 Indian Premier League by leading his Royal Challengers Bangalore side to a five-wicket win over the Kolkata Knight Riders in Durban.
