The chase of 170 got off to a good start for the Challengers as the opening pair of captain Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat added 55 for the first wicket before Yuzebdra Chahal's magic removed four wickets inside seven runs one of which was the run out of Kohli by Chahal and Samson combined and another taken by Navdeep Saini.
Soon Sherfane Rutherford was removed by Trent Boult as well and RCB needed 83 off 45 balls with two new men in Dinesh Karthik and Shabaz Ahmed at the crease.
The pair attacked from the word go and some poor bowling from Navdeep Saini and Praidh Krishna meant that they turned the game in only three overs and brought the equation down to 32 needed off just 24 balls. From there onward only formalities remained which were completed by 19.1 overs by Karthik and Harshal as Shahbaz fell for 45 off 26 to Boult in the 18th over.
Earlier in the evening, thanks to a brilliant 70 of just 47 balls by Jos Buttler, the Royals scored 169 of three in their 20 overs. Hetmyer made 42* off 31

There was no doubt when Dinesh Karthik was chosen as the Player of the Match as it was his knock that shifted the balance in favour of RCB as he hit Ashwin for 20 runs against the run of play. At one point in time, he was 30 off just 12 balls before he slowed down to make 44* off 23 balls.

Krishna is back into the attack, 15 needed off 12 balls
Ball 1- Single down the ground off the first ball
Ball 2- Driven to deep extra cover for a single
Ball 3- Single again. RCB know very well that this can be done in singles and they are doing it. Now just 12 off 9 needed
Ball 4- Wide. And then you have the guys like Krishna bowling length and wide too. Pathetic bowling this is.
Ball 4-Four!! Dinesh Karthik does it again. The deep mid-wicket was in and for reasons unknown to anybody and Kartik hit the ball in the gap between short mid-wicket and short square and got an easy four
Ball 5- Four!! Now only 7 needed off 8 balls and Kartik says let me have some fun as he dismisses this length slower ball for a four over fine leg.
Ball 6- And this match is indeed going into the last over as Krishna finally bowls a better length ball as it beats the edge of Karthik who wanted ti take a single and now three needed off 6 balls

Boult is back into the attack, 28 needed off 18 balls
Ball 1- Dot ball to start the over from Boult here
Ball 2- Four!! In the air and four past the running long-on. The length was there to be hit as it was short and asking to be hit. Boult should know better
Ball 3- Six!! Take a bow, Shahbaz Ahmed. What a shot this is. Comes down the crease and on the rise hits the shot ball for a six. Wow…just woww
Ball 4- Slower one finally from Boult and Shahbaz covers the stumps and plates a waling ramp and takes two off the deep fine leg. This game is getting finished before the 20th for sure
Ball 5- Wicket!! Boult says no as he bowls a seem-up length ball and a premeditated ramp shot gets the better of Shahbaz as the ball ricochets from his pads and onto the stumps. RCB are now 6 down and still need 16 off 13 balls

Chahal is back into the attack, 32 needed off 24 balls
Ball 1- Dot
Ball 2- Dot again
Ball 3- Single to deep fine leg
Ball 4- Once again played cautiously for a single as they want to get done with the Chahal over here and score the remaining runs off the rest of the bowlers
Ball 5- Single again to deep extra cover
Ball 6- It was too late for Samson to bring in Chahal and by then the work was already done by Kartik and Shahbaz. Single off the last as well mean now 28 needed off last 18 balls

Prasidh Krishna is back into the attack, 45 needed off 30 balls
Ball 1- Single taken
Ball 2- Four!! Poor from Krishna as he has bowled it outside off and been carved to third-man for four. He has the entire field outside leg and is bowling outside off. Come on !!
Ball 3- Played to deep fine leg for a single. Some respite after all. Chahal has one over left and it is poor captaincy from Samson not to call him in and get that wicket. Very poor indeed.
Ball 4- Single taken as there is no hurry now
Ball 5- Dot ball, that’s like an oasis in a desert
Ball 6- Six!! Once again poor. This is bizarre bowling from Krishna as he bowls a bouncer after having a fine leg up, are you kidding me? Is this even real bowling here? Now just 32 needed off 24 balls

Ball 5- Dinesh Kartik is playing a gem of an innings here as he has reached 30 in just 12 balls and he has taken single here

Navdeep Saini is back into the attack
Ball 1- Starts with a single here
Ball 2- Top class bouncer from Saini as he challenges Shahbaz to pull and he pulls in vain as the ball just passes by the edge of the bat, without taking it. It has been declared wide
Ball 2- Four!! Short once again but this time around it was there to pull and Shabaz pulled it for four runs over the silly mid-on
Ball 3- In the air..but falls in the no-man’s land and a single is taken
Ball 4- Driven hard to deep extra for a single
Ball 5- Six!! In the air and for some time it looked like yet another wicket as Jos Buttler was stationed right at the edge of the long-on boundary but just jumped over the boundary for a six

Chahal is into the attack
Ball 1- Dot will start the over
Ball 2- Virat Kohli plays yet another dot, second in a row now
Ball 3- Played to deep square leg for a single as David Willey comes on strike
Ball 4- Big Wicket!! Oh…is this gone here? Tight run out chance as Kohli runs half the pitch and then returns back to the non-striker's end as Samson throws the ball and Chahal removes the bails and it is mighty close on the replays as his bat and is on the line and he has been given out. This is brilliant from Samson and Chahal. What a show this has been from the Royals as they take three quick wickets here and come back in the game
Ball 5- Wicket!! Wow… just wow and this is like the perfect dream delivery for a leg spinner as it pitches on off stum and comes back in to castle the left-handed David Willey here and Chahal has two in two once again. He has literally turned the game around

10:01 PM
The review has been taken here by Sanju Smaosn all the ball seemed like clearly going down leg after hitting Faf on his back pad and the umpire gave not out. Well it was too close for the liking as it has been given umpire’s calls on wickets hitting and RR keep the review as Faf remains not out

Ball 2- Driven away from mid-off and two runs were taken by the time mid-off gets there
Ball 3- Four!! This time cutaway and it goes past the off-side for four runs as well

Ball 1- Outside off and in the channel of uncertainty and left alone by Faf
