RCB did not have the best start as they lost Kohli early on in the second over.

The duo scored a total of 46 runs from the first 6 overs. The power play restrictions kept the scoreboard ticking.
Prasidh who looked impressive in the previous overs bowled the 6th over of the innings and lost momentum for a bit as he got hit for 9 runs. The 8th over of the innings was bowled by Ashwin who was successful in restricting the batters as he only conceded 6 runs from the over.
Thanks to Patidar. 11 runs came off the 9th over of the innings bowled by Chahal where he looked a little loose. Ashwin showed bowled cleverly in the 10th over, building pressure on batters as he conceded just 5 runs from the over.
The pace at which the RCB is playing may seem decent now but Faf must pick up some speed otherwise it will build pressure on Patidar to score even faster and that may result in mistakes. RCB is known to lose wickets in the middle overs and if they want to reach the finals, they must manage pressure better and not lose wickets. As for RR, they need to keep building like this. Ashwin is doing a great job for them and if he continues his spell with this momentum, he may be able to get a breakthrough for his team.
The run rate at the end of 10 over is 7.40. The projected score at this rate at the end of the innings is 170 runs. Rajat Patidar 32 (27) and Faf du Plessis 25 (25) are at the crease now.
