RCB Innings: 167/8 in 20 Overs (Won by 2 Wickets)
RCB need 167 runs to win. But this is the most tense chase of the IPL season.
Things were looking grim for RCB from the start. One of the best batsmen in the world, Virat Kohli, was dismissed for a golden duck off the very first ball of Deepak Chahar. The Raipur crowd could not believe it. Then Devdutt Padikkal was dismissed for 12 runs. Captain Rajat Patidar was also dismissed cheaply. RCB were in serious trouble at 3 for 3.
This is where Krunal Pandya becomes the hero of the night.
Krunal comes in and takes control of the game through the collar. He plays a brilliant innings of 73 runs off just 46 balls. He hits 5 sixes and stops RCB from chasing alone. Jacob Bethel gives him good support and helps RCB cross the 74-run mark in 10 overs.
But wickets keep falling. Tim David is out for a golden duck – two golden ducks in a single match for different RCB batsmen. Jitesh Sharma hits a quick 18 and then gets out. RCB still need 36 runs in 25 balls. The pressure is on.
Finally, it comes down to the last ball. Bhuvneshwar Kumar – who has taken 4 wickets with the ball – hits a six in the final over to seal RCB’s victory. They win by 2 wickets with 1 ball to spare.
The dressing room is in an uproar. The Raipur fans are going crazy. RCB does this in the most dramatic way possible.

Match Summary: How RCB Win in a Thriller
This match is a perfect example of why cricket is the most exciting game in the world. No one expects RCB to win when Kohli gets out first. No one thinks they can do it when they get out for 39. But Krunal Pandya changes everything.
He bats with a cool head and a big heart. He hits the ball cleanly and powerfully. Whenever MI feels they have the match, Krunal pulls RCB back. And when the last over comes when RCB still needs runs, Bhuvneshwar Kumar – who has already dismissed the entire team – hits a six to win the match.
Poor discipline cost MI 16 extra runs, including 11 wides. In such a close game, those runs cost them everything.
The win takes RCB to 14 points and a top-3 spot. They now have a very good chance of making it to the playoffs. For Mumbai Indians, this defeat brings an end to their tournament.
