Rinku Singh and David Wiese’s heroics allowed KKR to score 200 runs within their allotted 20 overs. Although the RCB batters got off to a good start, only Virat Kohli was able to produce a respectable knock. Faf du Plessis, who had been in great form, was unable to turn his start into a huge figure, while Glenn Maxwell also struggled. The RCB middle order continued to struggle as the batters fall short of the 201-run target, resulting in a 21-run loss for the team.
