Due to his pivotal half-century, RCB after a shaky Middle-over batting puts up a respectable total of 150 for SRH to chase. Glenn Maxwell scored his first half-century in IPL after the 2016’s edition. Maxwell scored 59 from 41 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes as he fell victim to Jason Holder in the last of the RCB innings.

According to the ace commentator, Harsha Bhogle, this total could turn out to be just fine all thanks to the ‘Big Maxwell show’.
Difficult surface. This could be a match winning innings from Maxwell. Importance of set batsman at the end

Maxwell, in the middle of the over, was denied to change his bat by umpires, and on the next ball, he scooped a fantastic cheesy boundary.
Virat Kohli’s slow yet subtle knock registered a 33 from 29 balls with only 4 fours into his name.
SRH bowlers were pretty solid as they made RCB crave for runs. As always, leading the pack was Rashid Khan and Jason Holder, who took 2 and 3 wickets respectively. Holder had an impressive bowling figure of 3 for 30 out of his 4 overs quota.
