On Friday’s match between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Punjab Kings, both teams led by capable batsmen who have historically proved to be dangerous were out at the pitch today to win the match.
RCB won the toss and decided to bowl first here at Narendra Modi stadium to restrict Punjab Kings from scoring big.
But K L Rahul and Chris Gayle shined for Punjab today as they pushed the team score to a steady total, K L Rahul’s 91 runs off of 57 balls and Chris Gayle’s explosive 46 runs combined to post a total score of 179 for Punjab in 20 overs.
Chasing a score of 180 runs, RCB had a sloppy start in the powerplay with Devdutt Padikkal getting dismissed early in the match for just 7 runs by Riley Meredith, Virat Kohli also failed to deliver for the team in crucial times as he was dismissed by Harpreet Brar on the first ball of his over, the march to the pavilion was then followed by Glenn Maxwell, AB De Villiers, and Rajat Patidar all key batsmen with a potential to revive the team from the batting slump. The lower-order batsmen couldn’t do much and finally surrendered to Punjab Kings bowling attack as they won by 34 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
