Striking first, RR’s move to promote Robin Uthappa worked wonders as the veteran scored a 41, after which Steve Smith took the lead with a gritty fifty The 4 wickets of Chris Morris helped RCB limit the RR to 177
In response, RCB was on a cruise when Padikkal and Kohli forged another delicious partnership, before two fast-counters brought Rajasthan back into the game. AB de Villiers scored a whirlwind of fifty to propel RCB to the sixth win of the season
19:14 IST: RCB wins by 7 AB de Villiers counters, say hello! What a player, what a legend! 54 off 4 overs, 35 off 2 overs, easy, too easy for M 360! Rajasthan Royals should have won this game, but the penultimate over completely game-changer ABD has done it so many times, and he shows us again why he’s the best The chase had derailed between two quick wickets, but RCB has achieved all this due to the presence of the legend Everyone in the Rajasthan camp is depressed as their playoff hopes dwindle further Beautiful show from RCB again
19:05 IST: M 360 at its best once again! The 19th had 25 points and perhaps Unadkat would have eliminated RR from the necessary 10 match on the last Super finished?
19:00 IST: 35 needed for 2 overs, and it’s all on ABD now Gurkeerat obviously struggles to start Kartik Tyagi has been very impressive, but can RR do it?
18:56 IST: 9 points are completed on Unadkat, but how much would those 3 point balls cost? Still very tight – 45 out of 18 balls
18:49 IST: This game gets closer with every ball that passes AB de Villiers looked rusty, but a maximum of Archer would surely calm some nerves in the RCB 54 sur 24 dugout canoe is a tough question, and de Villiers is the key if RCB wants to win from here Fasten your seat belts, a thriller is on the cards! RCB needs 54 balls out of 24
18:43 IST: Rahul Tewatia game-changer for Rajasthan in IPL 2020 Aggressive with the bat, impressive with the ball and a livewire on the pitch All similarities (check Twitter handle 🙂
Here’s a game-changing capture! By @ rahultewatia02 Great photo but unlucky @imVkohli another day will go for a six! Is there something this guy can’t do? Tewatia ji now everything is at mr 360 @ ABdeVilliers17 #RCBvRR # ipl2020
18:40 IST: Kartik Tyagi only concedes 2 points in the 14th, and guess what, RR almost lost both beaters The pendulum has tipped for the umpteenth time this IPL, and RCB ar under the AB pump from Villiers can save them from this situation? RCB 104/3 after 14 overs
18:33 IST: OUT! TWO wickets in two balls, and both batsmen were sent back to the hut To be fair, Padikkal looked rusty today, and Tewatia deserved a wicket for her last ball But, does Tewatia ever settle for ‘a counter? The first ball of the 14th over, he shoots a wonderful to get rid of Virat Kohli Yes, you read that right, the hunter has been fired, and boy, Rajasthan suddenly finds himself holding all the aces!
18:27 IST: 86 needed 48 balls, and with the hunter out of their willow handling, RCB is still ascending Kohli deals again in singles and twos, but turns the strike steadily to maintain the pressure on bowlers RR really needs a wicket or two or else these two have the potential to bring RCB home from here An interesting contest indeed
18:25 IST: Was a feast for the eyes to see the present and the future combine and perform well Can the two bring RCB one step closer to victory again?
The mentor and the mentee again
50 more partnerships against the Royals @imVkohli @ devdpd07 # PlayBold # IPL2020 #WeAreChallengers # Dream11IPL #RRvRCB picTwittercom / KfHaPnjRYi
18:17 IST: 10 passes made and RCB is 77/1 Boy, this game is perfectly balanced for the moment, RCB to score exactly 10 points and more Bangalore Advantage for the moment, but Rajasthan can come back with a few wickets Who can intervene for Steve Smith? I must feel that the Rajasthani countryside is at stake here!
18:06 IST: It’s true that Padikkal has been a cut above other youngsters and has been remarkably consistent A lesson for someone equally (maybe even more) talented from the Rajasthan Royals Guesses ?
6:04 p.m. IST: A few quiet overs, and suddenly the asking rate has climbed over 10 But, both batsmen seem to be in control, and the asking rate won’t be a problem for now Will have to wait and see how they trade the spinners, in particular Tewatia Match well placed at this stage 55/1 after 8 overs
17:56 IST: Powerplay over, and both teams would be happy with the way things are going With Padikkal and Kohli blunting the ball with ease, RCB will feel they are holding the edge Rajasthan is in dire need of wickets, because these two drummers are in a good shape RCB 47/1 in 6 overs
5:53 PM IST: That was an absolute scream from Shahbaz Ahmed Could have helped his team contain Rajasthan by at least 10-15 points Sensational stuff!
WATCH – Catch the beauty: ‘Shabbash’ Ahmed
Not easy at all, but Shahbaz Ahmed took a blind man to fire Steve Smith One of the best catches of the tournament to date https://tco / 2KlsvTCi8c # Dream11IPL
17:46 IST: OUT! Aaron Finch flatters to cheat again After hitting two monstrous sixes off Archer, the Aussie captain comes face to face with Robin Uthappa Virat Kohli comes out, and though RR will want to take out one of those two, knowing what happened. last time these two were together against them 🙂 RCB 27/1 in 4 overs
17:38 IST: So the RCB openers started the process, although slowly to their liking Padikkal has been in striking form but has to make a big score Finch hasn’t really lit this tournament either. Rajasthan will be watching the first wickets, knowing the firepower inherent in this RCB RCB 8/0 hitter line in 2 overs
17:14 IST: Rajasthan Royals finish with 177 points in Chris Morris’ spectacular final table, and the South African ended with a magnificent 4/27 However, Rajasthan will be rather happy with that total , and what would specifically delight them is the return to form of two veterans: Steve Smith and Robin Uthappa The decision to promote Uthappa worked wonders as he gracefully tossed the ball into the power play Smith broke through the gaps with ease and walked into his third half-century in the IPL 2020 RR will feel he has them. misses 5-10 points, and Chris Morris was fabulous with his yorkers in the crucial killings Otherwise a dismal performance with the ball, and Virat Kohli will have a lot to think about A competitive total nonetheless, and we have an exciting pursuit at hand. / p>
4:59 PM IST: Smith is half a century old and relief is evident on his face It was a great round, just like the Steve Smith we know Chahal went for 19 of his final including two no balls Uncharacteristic of the cunning leg spinner and Kohli will be livid Rajasthan is expected to reach 180 byRR 158/4 (18 overs)
16:47 IST: OUT! Chris Morris, after a death spell with the new ball, delivered again for Bangalore, this time scalping the dangerous Jos Buttler He didn’t really look in his element today, but he has forged a good partnership with Smith Le captain RR is finally back in shape, and hits the ball with great finesse He will want to lead Rajasthan to a total of over 180Tewatia can also hit a few RR 133/4 after 16 overs
While he might not be as dramatic as the other two and only has 4 overs to show what he can do, I think we should recognize @yuzi_chahal as the third step of the triangle @RCBTweets with @ ABdeVilliers17 and @imVkohli
16:36 IST: Issue 14 end, RR 108/3 Buttler and Smith’s fourth pair of wickets added 39 points out of 37 balls Race rate is an issue for Rajasthan at this point and they need to big races in the last six overs
4:23 PM IST: End of over 10, RR 80/3 Great job by Yuzvendra Chahal to get those two wickets Smith and Buttler didn’t try to play a big hit against Chahal He’s had a big impact this season
16:10 IST: OUT! Robin Uthappa fired for well done 41 of 22 And Sanju Samson follows him RR 69/3 Leg spinners always give you wickets and Yuzvendra Chahal hit twice in this What a comeback! Uthappa and Samson failed to cross the fence
15:58 IST: OUT! Chris Morris gets Ben Stokes Right arm stimulator hit in the power play final, good catch by AB de Villiers And it’s Sanju Samson who will beat at number three
15:54 IST: Great start for RR! Robin Uthappa and Ben Stokes’ first pair have achieved 47 points in five overs and RR has yet to lose a wicket Uthappa was looking under pressure in the middle order but is playing freely as opener Big Coaches Move
15:44 IST: Four Borders in Third ‘Opener’ Uthappa collected 16 points from second over Washington Sundar RR now 21/0 after three overtakes A positive start for them
15:39 IST: Good start for RCB with the ball, only 5 points from the first two overs Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler or Steve Smith, who will come out at bat at number three?
3:30 p.m. IST: Surprise! Jos Buttler has been demoted Robin Uthappa, who opened for India and Kolkata Knight Riders, will kick off proceedings with Ben Stokes Washington Sundar has the new ball
Royals of Rajasthan: Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (w), Steven Smith (c), Sanju Samson, Robin Uthappa, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Kartik Tyagi
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers (w), Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Washington Sundar, Chris Morris, Shahbaz Ahmed, Isuru Udana, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal
3:00 PM IST: Unchanged Royals of Rajasthan chose to beat Ben Stokes first to open the heats Royal Challengers Bangalore made two changes Shivam Dube and Mohammed Siraj were dropped for Gurkeerat Singh Mann and Shahbaz Ahmed
2:45 p.m. IST: Villiers AB shouldn’t be held up this time Left-right tactics saw him go out at bat in 17th against Kings XI Punjab Surely won’t be today and he could be fired shortly after the second Toss wicket fell just 15 minutes away
2:30 p.m. IST: Will Ben Stokes continue to open with Jos Buttler? Or should RR use it as a finisher? RR has plenty of questions ahead of the game Stokes has been very successful as a finisher and RR needs someone to fill the role He could be demoted to batting today RR should also leave Robin Uthappa again
