🔴 RCB Chase: So Close, Yet So Far
📊 RCB Score: 203/6 in 19 Overs (Target: 213 via D/L)
Chasing a D/L revised target of 213 in 20 overs, RCB had a disastrous start losing both openers — Jacob Bethell (4 off 5) and Virat Kohli (0 off 2, bowled by Prince Yadav) — inside the first 2 overs with just 9 runs on the board. This early collapse put enormous pressure on the middle order.
However, Rajat Patidar (61 off 31, SR: 196.77) played a magnificent knock of 3 fours and 6 sixes to revive RCB’s chase. He stitched a crucial 95-run partnership with Devdutt Padikkal (34 off 25). But Prince Yadav’s brilliant 11th over (3 wickets for just 3 runs) derailed RCB completely — dismissing Padikkal, Jitesh Sharma (1), AND Rajat Patidar in quick succession to turn the match in LSG’s favor.
Late hitting from Tim David (40 off 17, SR: 235.29) and Krunal Pandya (28 off 16) gave RCB hope, but they fell 9 runs short of the D/L target.
