A fierce, unstoppable and one many army, PBKS Captain KL Rahul's Klassic Knock 91*(57) set the tone of this match. He was well-supported by Chris Gayle's 46(24) and a short cameo by Harpreet Brar 25*(17) bring up the total of 179/5(20)

Royal Challengers Bangalore Bowlers were able to take some important wickets that slowed the game. Key wicket takers included Kyle Jamieson 2/32(3) Shabhaz Ahemad 1/11(2) and Daniel Sam's 1/24(4) most of these were expensive spells, although it slowed down the innings, PBKS managed to get in some boundaries and huge maximums! 

In the run chase that followed, Virat Kohli led Royal Challengers Bangalore didn't get the steady start and soon back to back wickets falling allowed the PBKS bowling unit to get the better of them. Harpreet Brar 3/19(4) Ravi Bishnoi's 2/17(4) and Mohammed Shami's 1/28 (3.4) did the damage as Virat Kohli 35(34) Rajat Patidar's 31(30) and Harshal Patel's 31(13) failed to cross over for a winning total. PBKS were a fine unit and ended up doing the right things with the both the bat and ball!

 Harsh but Shabhaz Win over the Sunrisers! Royal Challengers Bangalore in their second encounter defeat the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Must say it was a Bowlers' Bash as it was raining wickets than runs. With a slow start from openers Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli wickets fell in quick succession as Jason Holder and Rashid Khan cause the damage and restrict RCB to a low total of just 149/8. Warner led- Hyderabad try and seal the deal early in the game but all gone in vain as Manish Pandey and Rashid Khan's cameos fail to support the Sunrisers.
