Match Over
RCB 240/4 (20 ov)
RCB won by 18 runs
INNINGS OVER — RCB 240/4
240 on the board. RCB have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Salt's 78 off 36 (SR 217) was the innings that held everything together, with Patidar (53 off 20) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Thakur (1/32 in 3 ov), Pandya (1/39 in 4.2 ov), Santner (1/43 in 4.1 ov) all contributed. MI need 241 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.

DEATH OVERS — RCB 187/2

Salt has been the backbone — 78 off 36, with Kohli contributing 50 off 38. Wickets in hand means RCB can swing freely. The set batsmen should be targeting 227+ — anything less from this position would be an underperformance.
