Virat played a restrained innings

RCB, while batting first, scored 190 runs on the board, in which Virat Kohli’s 43 -run innings played a major role. He may have played a slow innings, but if he did not hold one end, RCB’s innings would have collapsed like cards. Virat, who came to opening, remained at one end till the 15th over of the innings. His 35 balls included 3 fours. Apart from him, Mayank Agarwal (24), captain Rajat Patidar (26), Liam Livingstone (25) and Jitesh Sharma (24) played small, but important innings. Phil Salat scored 16 runs.

Bowlers gave RCB victory

RCB bowlers did the work of successfully defending 190 runs. Krunal Pandya contributed the most important. In his four -over bowling, Krunal dismissed two batsmen for just 17 runs. He took two big wickets of Josh English (39) and Prabhasimran Singh (26). Apart from him, Bhuvneshwar Kumar also took two wickets. This experienced bowler worked to settle two explosives and batsmen who have the ability to turn the match. Nehal Vadhera (15) and Marcus Stoinis (6) became their victims. Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood and Romario Shepherd also played an important role in winning RCB with one wicket each.

Shashank’s innings went in vain

Shashank Singh maintained the hopes of Punjab Kings’s victory till the last over, but did not meet him, due to which Shreyas Iyer’s team remained 6 runs away from lifting the trophy.
