Hello, good afternoon and welcome to my page once again. It was not super exited match like last two but it was nice contest as both are top teams of the tournament so far. RCB won easily and well ahead in the match since KL Rahul out. RCB won this match by 18 runs with wonderful batting of Du Plessis and bowling of Hazelwood so lets start discuss it in details.
LSG won the toss and took ball first like all teams do but not those who taking bowl first because of dew factor as they don't know that it not affect since many match and perhaps they not able to win. RCB lost 2 wickets in very first over with big fish Virat Kohli as lots of people expecting big knock from him but not happened unfortunately. Maxwell did good start once again but not able to make it long as out with brilliant catch of Holder.
Its look like RCB struggling again with bat and this time Faf was at crease as once side he decided to take inning to long. once again Shahbaz Ahmed played supporting role as from once side Faf kept playing his shot and collecting boundaries. It looks like one man army going on as Faf made 96 runs before out in second last ball of the last over and took his team to respectable total of 181.
In this run chase It looks easy for LSG as De Kock and Rahul is in good form but they also lost De Kock and Pandey early with good bowling of Hazelwood. Now LSG total depend on Rahul where Rahul out with blind review of caught behind where no one sure of to take review but it went in RCB favour as it was enough edge to sent Rahul back to pavilion where LSG last hope was end.
When Rahul out, LSG were 64/3 and still far to go but Krunal Pandya took charge with good batting as otherside keeps wicket falling and last himself out for going big shot too as needed for the team. When stoinis playing, it looks little hope but he also out and rest will did by Hazelwood taking wickets and bowled brilliant spell of 4/25. RCB beat LSG by 18 runs and no surprising as Faf got man of the match for his brilliant 96. That's it from today and stay tuned for the next post.
