Royal Challengers Bengaluru clashed horns against Punjab Kings on April 18 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Punjab Kings defeat Bengaluru by five wickets to register their fifth win of the season.

Bengaluru lost the toss and were pushed to bat by the Kings. The visitors dominated the match in a rain-affected 14-over game. RCB crumbled badly to 47/7, but all thanks to Tim David for his unbeaten knock of 50, facing 26 deliveries, to take his side to a total of 95/9.

Punjab's bowlers, Arshdeep Singh, Marco Jansen, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Harpreet Brar, picked up two wickets each, and Xavier Bartlett also had a piece of it.

In response, the Bengaluru bowlers were exceptional, with Josh Hazlewood picking up three crucial wickets while Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up two. However, it was all in vain, as Nehal Wadhera smashed an unbeaten 33 runs from 19 balls, to take the Kings to victory by five wickets.
