Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Rajasthan Royals by five wickets in their crucial IPL cricket match in Jaipur last night. Chasing a modest 131 to win, Royal Challengers Bangalore overhauled the target with 4.2 overs to spare as Kevin Pietersen hit an attacking half-century to steer his side to easy win.Earlier, the pace bowlers of the Bangalore exploited the slow nature of the strip brilliantly at the Sawai Man Singh stadium to restrict the hosts to a modest 130 for six, making rival skipper Shane Warne rue his decision to bat.With this win, Bangalore are now sitting second in the table with 14 points behind Mumbai Indians and would look to seal the semifinal spot when they take on the table-toppers on Saturday.Rajasthan, who remain in fifth position, would now have to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by a huge margin the same day and hope results of other matches also go in their favour.In today's encounter, Chennai Super Kings take on Delhi Daredevils at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai.
