13:43 GMT: End of innings
End of the match: Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 8 wickets
13:47 GMT: What a win, Chris Gayle has shown what he can do with the willow, actually with the "Grim Reaper's scythe". The current champions have been humbled by this loss, Gayle was the stone in this innings. Kolklata Knight Riders had a perfect briskk start with the bat but in the end lost quick wickets and got themselves under-pressure, they were looking good and would have managed to score 170/180 runs but couldn't because of the wickets, their bowling was poor today, Sunil Narine was the only one who managed to keep them back throughout the day/night. A stupid question now, who will be the Man of the Match? I bet you could never guess this one. Stay tuned
Man of the match: CH Gayle
14:02 GMT: That is it for the 12th T20. Join us at 14:40GMT for the 13th T20
