So, that’s it from this encounter. A comprehensive performance from RCB today and they are still alive in the playoff contention. You can switch tabs to enjoy the action between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. For now, this is Megh Mandaliya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ayan Chatterjee and AkshayaKrishna Polya alongside our scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Cheers!
Wayne Parnell (Player of the Match): "Thanks Ravi. Obviously credit to the batters. That last over gave us the momentum and then we executed our plans. We had to take pace off the ball and executed it and the fielders were up for it. Happy with this big win. Similar surface to Paarl and we made them hit across the line and hit to the bigger side and across the line. Good to be back and I have to be switched on always to be game ready whenever I am called into action. I am glad I could contribute to the team. Thank You Ravi."

Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bangalore Captain): "It's really good for NRR. I think it was a really difficult pitch. Even early on in the powerplay, the ball was keeping very low. So, we thought 160 would be a good total. It's really important in T20 cricket to try and capitalize on the momentum shifts. It was remarkable other guys enjoyed and got wickets.
Bracewell would want to bowl here every day of the week. We needed a left-arm spinner and Shahbaz could have also been a good option. It's a nice thing when you have a finger spinner on this surface. The next game is a big game for us. We needed some confidence and today was a good day for the team. Everyone would be extremely motivated for the last two games"

Michael Bracewell (Royal Challengers Bangalore): "Yeah it was a great performance from the team. Valuable two points for us. Obviously, the points are very much important in such tournaments. Happy to be back on the side and performing. I was on the sidelines but was always match ready, such is our team environment of us. They kept on pushing us even though we didn't play.
That innings from Anuj Rawat was very important. It wasn't easy for the new batters but the way he played was magnificent. There were a few niggles going around in the team. And it gives others with good opportunities. The top three batters deserve a lot of credit for setting the tone for us.
Today was a lucky day for me; that's the nature of T20 cricket. I try not to get caught up in the game's highs and lows. We have two must-win games, and as a team, we strive under pressure. We were fortunate to get those two points, and we are now looking forward to the upcoming games."

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Yes, I think our batting top 3 were scoring runs. We go hard at early and did not come off today. We have to think about this. We had to go hard in the powerplay. That was the plan. But it did not work out well and we lost it badly. It was a good score. But we needed to bat well. We just did not do that.
That's a great question. Where did we go wrong and I have no answer to it at this stage. We all know things can change in IPL.
You never know. We will have to be strong and take one day off and then come back strong in Dharamshala. But let's see how things go. You can think about it in different ways. But these things happen. We have to take the responsibility as a whole and come back stronger. A disappointing result."

6:22 PM IST | That will do it for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. A tremendous bowling performance from the men in red has skittled out the hosts for a scanty total of 59 which is the third-lowest total in the history of IPL. It was a must-win encounter for the visitors and their bowlers have stepped up on the right occasion. RCB have thwarted the Rajasthan Royals by a whopping 112 runs and they have bagged two crucial points. RCB has now climbed up to the 5th position in the points table with 12 points.
Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal spearheaded the innings for the Royals but they were entirely unaware of what was about to transpire next. The Royal Challengers Bangalore were on a roll today and they totally demolished the Rajasthan batting order. Mohammed Siraj drew first blood for RCB and dismissed in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal 0(2) in the first over of the innings. His opening companion Jos Buttler was the next batter to go as Wayne Parnell clinched his first wicket of the contest.

His opening companion Jos Buttler was the next batter to go as Wayne Parnell clinched his first wicket of the contest.
However, the carnage from RCB bowlers did not cease there. The Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson was the next man to depart as the right-hander was caught on 4(5) attempting a needless hoick. Joe Root announced his arrival in the IPL with a cheeky scoop and he joined forces with Devdutt Padikkal to provide a little period of respite but Parnell struck again for RCB by trapping Root 10(15) in front. Padikkal was also soon dismissed for 4(4).
Shimron Hetmyer played a counterattacking knock of 35(19) to elude a collapse but the wickets kept tumbling at the other end and eventually, the Royals were bundled out for 59. The left-armer Wayne Parnell was the pick of the bowlers for RCB and bagged three crucial wickets in the collapse. Bracewell and Karn Sharma collected a couple of wickets each while Maxwell and Siraj also extracted one wicket each.
KM Asif drew the first blood as the right-armer got better off Kohli 18(19) with a knuckleball. Glenn Maxwell walked in at number three and the ‘Big Show’ got into the groove straightaway. Maxwell accelerated the innings and released some pressure off Faf du Plessis. The duo of Maxwell and du Plessis again resurrected the Bangalore innings and stitched a 69-run partnership for the 2nd wicket. The RCB skipper got to his 7th half-century of the season before KM Asif dismissed him on 55(44).
The departure of du Plessis turned the game upside down as Adam Zampa bagged two quick wickets in the 16th over. The right-arm spinner outfoxed Dinesh Karthik 0(2) and Mahipal Lomror 1(2) in a single over and gathered momentum for the hosts. Maxwell brought up his 18th half-century in IPL before he was uprooted by Sandeep Sharma on 54(33). Anuj Rawat swatted a crucial 29*(11) at the backend of the innings and took RCB past 170. Zampa was the most successful bowler for the Royals and ended his stint on 2/25.
Stick around for the post-match presentation!
10.3 K Sharma to K Asif
W WICKETTT!!!! That is the final nail in the Rajasthan Royals' coffin! RCB with a huge, huge win! They brush aside the Sanju Samson-led side by a whopping margin of 112 runs! With this win, RCB has climbed up to the 5th spot!!!!! Tossed up delivery on the stumps. Asif goes for a big hoick and miscues it completely. In the air and Kohli at wide long-on takes a safe catch! What a win! The Red Army are over the moon and what have they come up with today? RR has been knocked out for a meagre 59 runs in just 10.3 overs!
10.2 K Sharma to K Asif
0 Fuller on the off and middle. Asif strides forward and gets his bat and pads together as he pushes it to the left of the bowler.
