The match in hand was lost by KKR. Last over required 7 runs, but lost Ganguly in the penultimate ball. Last ball required 2 runs, but it was too much for Ishanth Sharma. He drove the ball towards cover where Warne did a wonderful diving stop. While going for the 2nd run, Ishanth was well short of his crease.
This created Super Over where each team has to select three batsmen and one bowler.
Gayle, McCullum and Ganguly were selected to bat for KKR and Kamaran Khan bowled for Rajasthan Royals:
Ball 1: Single to long off by Gayle;
Ball 2: Single on a hip-height full toss by McCullum. He asked for a no-ball but umpires denied it;
Ball 3: Wide;
Ball 3: Four over mid on by Gayle, over pitched and chipped over long on
Ball 4: Four over square leg by Gayle; pitched on leg stump and he flicked it;
Ball 5: Four over mid wicket by Gayle; He stayed close to the wicket and hit it over mid-wicket.
Ball 6: Caught beautifully by Quiney at deep cover; ball pitched on the wide off stump which he tried to cut but went straight to sweeper cover;
KKR scored 15 runs for 1 wicket in 1 over. RR needed 16;
RR selected Y Pathan, RA Jadeja, and Mascarenhas and KKR had Mendis for bowling;
Ball 1: Six over long-off by Pathan;
Ball 2: He hit it over long on but went high in the air; dropped; Proper adjustment would have turned this match;
Ball 3: Six over deep mid-wicket by Pathan;
Ball 4: Four by Pathan wide of square leg
RR reached 18 in 4 balls and win the crucial 2 points
