On Friday, the match between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore w witnessed a great fighting spirit from KL Rahul. Playing first PBKS set up a target of 180 runs for RCB.
Talking about the start of PBKS, it was a sensible but a bit slow start. Punjab lost the first wicket early on just 19 runs. It was Chris Gayle who came next and accelerated the inning.
It’s still a very good surface to bat on and this target is gettable.

When Gayle got out, that is when Bangalore started to dominate with a couple of good wickets. But a good finish towards the end from Rahul and Harpreet Brar, helped them reach a good total of 179 runs.
Can PBKS defend it or will RCB chase it down and claim the table-toppers position once again?
