RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, was tasked to bat first after losing the toss. Phil Salt found the pavilion route after smacking a four in the first over. However, Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal (37) stitched a 91-run stand for the second wicket.
Kohli smacked 67 runs in 42 balls with eight fours and two sixes. Meanwhile, captain Rajat Patidar was the star of the show, amassing 64 runs in 32 balls with five fours and four sixes. Jitesh Sharma played an exceptional cameo of 40* off 19 balls with two fours and four sixes.

In the chase, Rohit Sharma (17), Ryan Rickelton (17), Will Jacks (22) and Suryakumar Yadav (28) couldn't create a significant impact, losing wickets at regular intervals. Nevertheless, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya had some interesting time in the middle.
Tilak scored 56 runs in 29 balls with four fours and as many sixes. Meanwhile, Pandya smacked 42 runs in 15 balls with three fours and four sixes to keep the team in contention.
