Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowled outRoyal Challengers Bengaluru 155/10 (19.2 ov)
ALL OUT — RCB 155
RCB fought, but 155 all out tells you the bowlers won this phase. What started with promise ended with a collapse. Padikkal's 40 off 24 (SR 167) was the innings that held everything together, with Kohli (28 off 13) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Khan (4/22 in 3.3 ov), Khan (2/19 in 4 ov), Holder (2/29 in 4 ov) all contributed. The middle-overs squeeze did the damage — 6 wickets between overs 7 and 15 sucked the momentum out of the innings. GT need 156 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
