However, a lot has changed for both the Bangalore Royal Challengers and the Deccan Chargers.Both teams are rejuvenated in South Africa and Kevin Pietersen and Adam Gilchrist will be looking for their second win in the tournament in what is expected to be a gripping contest.The chargers thrashed the Knight Riders in their first game and not surprisingly, have gone with an unchanged eleven.A blazing 71 by skipper Adam Gilchrist and a peerless 52 by Rohit Sharma guided the Deccan Chargers to 184-6 against the Bangalore Royal Challengers on Wednesday. This is the highest total in IPL II so far.The Deccan Chargers have won their second game on the trot by beating the Royal Challengers by 24 runs. Great match. High scoring and well chased.
