When batting first, RCB scored a respectable 190/9 thanks to Jitesh Sharma (24 off 10), Liam Livingstone (25 off 15), and Virat Kohli (43 off 35). Prior to Krunal Pandya’s game-changing spell, in which his 4-0-17-2 restricted the flow of runs and swung the game in RCB’s favor, PBKS appeared to be on the right track as they chased a target of 191. PBKS was held to 184/7 by Yash Dayal (1/18) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/38)’s tight death bowling.
