Full Match Review

Toss Update:

Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and opted to bowl.

RR Innings:

Buttler and Vohra, who were RR two openers, started the innings. Siraj was the first to a bowl.

Siraj got the early breakthrough in the 3rd over for RCB by getting the wicket of the dangerous Buttler.

Vohra suffered yet another setback, whereas Siraj got Miller at the early stage. RR had lost their three wickets in the powerplay.

After six overs, RR scores 32/3.

The condition worsened when RR captain Sanju Samson was dismissed in a soft dismissal. Samson was having another season where he only performed in the early games.

Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag held the innings by making a 50 run partnership in the middle overs. 

Before Harshal got lucky with Parag’s wicket, the duo added 66 runs. RR deserves praise for not lowering their heads.

Shivam Dube’s brilliant knock was ended. His 46 runs were extremely beneficial to RR’s recovery.

In the end, Rahul Tewatia played a fiery inning of 40 runs in just 23 balls which helped RR to make a respectable total.

After 20 overs, RR scored 177/9.

RCB Innings:

Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal, RCB’s two openers, started the innings. Shreyas Gopal was the first to a bowl.

Devdutt Padikkal was in a hurry to chase the total. He was striking the ball beautifully. Virat Kohli was slowly building his innings as it was required from him.

RCB’s powerplay was on fire. They were looking to improve their Net run rate, which will help them in the later stage of the season.

After six overs, RCB scores 59/0.

RR was in trouble, and they needed a couple of fast wickets to get back on track, as it looked like it was going to be a one-way match.

Padikkal was dominating RR bowling with his calming style of strokeplay, making it difficult to stop him.

The duo added 107 runs in the 10th over. This was the highest first-wicket partnership ever for RCB.

Both the openers made a half-century. RCB dominated yesterday’s match

In the end, it is just a formality for RCB to win this game.
