RCB vs KKR Match Summary

The chase didn't really start well for the red and gold brigade as they lost their top three in Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Anuj Rawat in the first three overs itself at a score of 17. But then David Willey and Sherfane Rutherford added 45 for the fourth wicket. After Willey's departure, Shahbaz Ahmed played a great knock (27 off 20 balls) and added 39 with Rutherford to take the game close before KKr lost three quick wickets in a space of seven balls one of which came through a sensational catch from Sheldon Jackson. 

However, with 17 required off the last 12 balls, Dinesh Karthik and Harshal Ptle saw the game through and won it with four balls to spare and three wickets in hand. 

Earlier in the evening, KKR could get up to only 128 runs thanks t0 some let hitting by Russell (25) and Umesh Yadav (18 off 12 balls) because had those runs not been added, getting to even 100 would have been difficult as half the team was blown in in Wanindu Hasaranga storm.
