They trounced Chennai Super Kings by 36 runs here on Tuesday.
Required to score 172, Chennai found themselves in deep trouble after they lost the man in form Matthew Hayden for 32 after he was run out by Rahul Dravid.
Some good batting down the order failed to help Chennai as they managed only 135 runs for seven in 20 overs.
Vinay Kumar should be given the credit for rattling the top order.
Earlier, the top order failed to fire for Bangalore, but it was Uthappa who set up a contest after scoring 68 runs in 38 balls with six huge sixes and three fours in the last four overs.
Tuesday’s turnout at the stadium was more than during the last two games when RCB outplayed Kings XI Punjab March 16 and Rajasthan Royals March 19.
Even three hours before the match began at 8 pm, spectators, mostly youth made a beeline to the stadium for a vantage seat, carrying flags, banners, buntings and posters of their favourite stars like RCB skipper Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Uthappa, Manish Pandey and Jacques Kallis.
