IPL 2022 RCB vs PBKS Highlights: Punjab win by 54 runs, keep season alive

RCB vs PBKS Highlights: Punjab Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 54 runs to keep their Playoffs alive as they now have 12 points from 12 games and need to win their remaining two games

11:59 PM

RCB vs PBKS Player of the Match: Jonny Bairstow

 

It was a tale of two Englishmen as far as the Punjab batting was concerned, but Jonny Bairstow was adjudged Player of the Match only because he provided the start and the foundation on which Livingstone built the 209 run castle. Bairstow hits a 21 ball fifty and in his knock of 66, hit four fours and seven sixes

RCB vs PBKS Live Updates: Match Summary

 

Punjab Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by a huge margin of 54 runs to keep their Playoffs alive as they now have 12 points from 12 games and need to win their remaining two games to get to 16 points and then the net run rate might come into the Play and they already have improved upon that and have chance to make more improvements if they win their upcoming two matches. 

 

Bangalore on the other hand, have only one match left and they must win that t stand any chance at qualifying because their net run rate, which was already negative, has nosedived after this huge defeat. Their chase of 210 never got going as Virat Kohli fell in the fourth over and from there onwards wickets just kept falling as no batter was even able to cross the 50 run mark individually and eventually the RCB could only make 155/9 in their 20 overs. 

 

Punjab bowled and fielded really well as all its bowlers got at least one wicket with Rabada, who dismissed Kohli to start the proceedings, leading the chart with three wickets to his name, finishing with figures of 3-21 in his four overs. 

 

Earlier in the evening after being asked t bat first, Punjab got off to the best start possible as its batters scored 83 in the Powerplay. If Jonny Bairstow was the wrecker in chief at the start of the innings with his 29 ball 66, Liam Livingstone gave it a great finishing touch as he scored 70 off just 42 balls to take Punjab Kings to 209/9 in their 20 overs.

Rishi Dhawan into the attack

 

Ball 1 Starts with a slower ball and Faf du Plessis is unable to get it away

The umpire said not out and Mayank Agarwal took the review and the review showed that du Plessis did get the edge and and as result he is out and RCB are now two down for 34 

 

Ball 3 Mahipal Lomror has been sent up the order here and plays a dot ball first up 

 

Ball 4 Six!! So this is the reason he was sent up as he picks the length ball and hits it out of the park for a six to long-off 

 

Ball 5 Wicket!! Rishi Dhawan is on a roll as it was a length ball and Mahipal Lomror pulled it straight to Shikhar Dhawan at short mid-wicket. Softest of the dismissals it was as Glenn Maxwell comes on to the crease now 

 

Ball 6 Maxwell is off the mark with a drive to deep backward point 

 

Royal Challengers Bangalore Live Score 41-3 after 05 overs

RCB vs PBKS Live Updates: Brilliant last over by Harshal Patel

 

Harshal Patel into the attack

 

Ball 1 Wide off the first ball as Harshal comes around the wicket and goies outside the tram line 

 

Ball 1 Dot ball as this time it was the same angle, but inside the tramline 

 

Ball 2 Wicket!! After playing such brilliant shots in front of the wicket, Livinstine tried being cheeky and goi over the keeper with a scoop but fails big time and gets caught. That’s 10 runs down straightaway for Punjab now 

 

Ball 3 Single down the ground by Rahul Chahar 

 

That was a smile there as Harshal Pulled out of the ball seeing Rishi Dhawan going so far across the offside 

 

Ball 4  Wicket!! Hit hard by Dhawan even though it was going away from him, and as a result that could only go as far as long-off and that would be another wicket down in the over 

 

Ball 5 And that would be just a single and once again i8t is the finishing that has lacked from Punjab, especially in the last over. Just three from this over so far 

 

Ball 6 Wicket!!  And that would be run out at the striker’s end as Chahar tried to complete a double but was no way near the crease. So Punjab kings would be immensely happy with the score of 209, but even they know that they would have got at least 10-15 runs more by the virtues of the kind of start they had got. 

 

Punjab Kings Live Score 209-9 after 20 overs
