Must win encounter for RCB

Bengaluru
Oct. 11: Royal Challengers Bangalore find themselves in a familiar situation yet again. For much of IPL-2, Anil Kumble’s side were left with must-win position, but braved the odds to reach the final, before going down fighting to the Deccan Chargers.
On Monday, RCB will be up against the Otago Volts, and a loss here will put the home team out of the Champions League T20 even before the premier tournament gets down to serious business with both teams facing elimination with a loss.
The third team in Group C, Cape Cobras, have no such worries as the South African champs have already made it to the next round with two wins. Against the Cobras, RCB went into the match as favourites and performed as such until J.P. Duminy scripted a dramatic turnaround.
It reminded one of Brendon McCullum’s innings in the 2008 IPL opener that knocked the stuffing out of the local side. It should be interesting to see how they cope with McCullum once again being the key player, this time for Otago.
