RCB break another jinx in Mumbai
After the Chepauk win this time it was Mumbai. RCB shatter another jinx with a win in Mumbai after 10 long years. It was a hotly contested match. After being put into bat, the Challengers took charge of the game. Despite Phil Salt’s early dismissal, Padikkal and Kohli stitched together a wonderful 91 run partnership. The Red camp’s Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma’s crucial contributions saw a big total of 221 on the board.
MI, after losing early wickets in the powerplay saw a surge with the arrival of their captain. Hardik Pandya levelled the playing field and opened up the game completely. His 15 ball 42 run innings was a bone-chilling watch for the RCB fans. However, the Bengaluru bowling unit maintained their composure despite getting hit around the Wankhede. That composure saw them make a comeback in the final overs to take important wickets and turn the game around. Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir and Mitch Santner. It was a lineup of destruction that was dismantled with surgical precision.
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood and Krunal Pandya seized the game in the final overs. Superb fielding and a cracking catch by the duo of Tim David and Phil Salt at the boundary were clinical for the visitors.
Delhi Capitals have been undefeated
That’s right! The Capitals have won all three games and pose a tough challenge, especially since the pressure of winning at home is also a factor for RCB. After a nail-biting victory against LSG in their opening game, they have changed gears. With convincing wins against CSK and SRH, the Capitals have built up strong momentum coming to Bengaluru. Nonetheless, the Bengaluru boys and the Chinnaswamy will be turning up no slouches. It should be a fantastic game.
