Bangalore Royal Challengers' skipper Kevin Pietersen said Matthew Hayden's blazing knock had given them no time to recover in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Chennai Super Kings here on Monday.
Hayden blasted 65 off just 35 deliveries as Super Kings routed Royal Challengers by 92 runs. Super Kings' captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said Hayden set the match for them and Muttiah Muralitahran finished it brilliantly.

Muralidharan, who bamboozled the Bangalore batsmen with his variations and turn, returning figures of 3/11 from four overs. Laxmipathi Balaji took two wickets while Manpreet Gony, Andrew Flintoff, Albie Morkel and Joginder Sharma chipped with one wicket each to throttle the Bangalore batsmen.
Set a huge target of 180 at nine per over, Bangalore were never in with a chance as their top five were gone by the eighth over for a mere 50 runs.

Chennai Superkings: 179/5 in 20 overs
