The Royal Challenger Bangalore will play against Victoria Bushrangers in the first match of the Super Eight phase of the T20 Champion League at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore on Thursday.

This match between the IPL-2 runner-up Bangalore and KFC Cup runner-up Victoria will certainly be a must watch encounter. Both teams had won one match in the league phase to advance into the next round.

Bangalore will rely on Jacuqes Kallis and Robin Uthappa to give them good opening stand. R Taylor has played brilliantly in the last few matches and provided the much needed momentum in the last overs of the inning.

The main concern for the Bangalore team will be their bowling department as all bowlers proved very expensive in match against Cobras. However, they bowled well in the last match against Otago. Bangalore skipper Anil Kumble will be their trump card for this match.

Bangalore squad for this match includes A Kumble (Captain), B Kumar, B Akhil, R Bishnoi, MV Boucher†, R Dravid, JH Kallis, V Kohli, P Kumar, MK Pandey, DW Steyn, LRPL Taylor, RV Uthappa, RE van der Merwe and R Vinay Kumar
