No Pressure on RCB

The match started by PBKS winning the toss and opting to bowl first, Royal Challengers Bengaluru who although failed to reach a 200-run target, but the 190/9 off 20 overs proved to be a strong target to be chased. After battling it out to put in a good score against Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson. 

Virat Kohli’s 43 was the only best score RCB needed to be in a safe spot. Which is why, RCB was in no pressure from the PBKS side, instead PBKS were in pressure to chase the 190 target. 

Faltering Batting lineup again

Punjab Kings openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh failed to start big for PBSK, they failed at 24 and 26 runs respectively. After their dismissals Shashank Singh and Josh Inglis was the only hard hitters who scored 61 and 39 runs. After which skipper Shreyas Iyer failed at just 1 run. No Punjab batter was able to hold onto for a long time, and score a strong supportive score for the team. 

Dominance by RCB

RCB had to win it, RCB had a magical season this season. From the start of the season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been showcasing why they deserved the title season. And with this win, their away win record is still alive. With Rajat Patidar winning the title in his first IPL season as a captain.
