The batsmen of Punjab Kings were under a bit of pressure after losing one wicket in the beginning when they came down to bat against the target of 142 runs given by RCB. Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw played responsible batting for Punjab Kings. Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw both batted well but in the end Punjab Kings batsmen did not win against RCB. Yesterday's match was played by RCB's batsmen responsible batting and bowlers bowling aggressively from the start due to which RCB bowled out Punjab Kings for 181 runs. RCB defeated Punjab Kings by 61 runs. Congratulations to RCB for this great win.

Today we have the match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings at Ahmedabad. GT has near zero chance of qualifying to the playoffs, and therefore the outcome of this match is mainly important for CSK. But then CSK is suffering from multiple injury issues. All three of their frontline pacers - Deepak Chahar, Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana are doubtful for today's match. At the same time, GT is also suffering from injury to Mohammed Shami. Richard Gleeson will be included in the CSK squad, along with Mitchell Santner.

You are right, even though RCB are in the playoff race, they won't be able to secure the playoffs. RCB will have chance to play next 2 matches, if they win next 2 matches they will have 14 points. It will be difficult for RCB to win the next 2 matches. In this respect, Delhi and Lucknow are ahead of RCB because Delhi and Lucknow have played 12 matches and won 6 matches to get 12 points, between these two teams the team that wins 2 matches will have 16 points.

On the other hand, Chennai and Hyderabad are far ahead of these 3 teams. Chennai have won 6 out of 11 matches and Chennai have chance of 3 more matches. If Chennai can win 3 out of 3 matches they will easily qualify for the next round. On the other hand, Hyderabad have won 7 matches and they will have a chance to play 2 matches, if they can win even 2 matches then they will easily qualify for the next round. Calcutta and Rajasthan are almost confirmed. I think Rajasthan, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai can qualify for the next round. Today there is a match between Chennai and Gujarat, if Chennai wins today it will take a step forward in the playoff race.

It's true that RCB make a strong comeback at a very last time which isn't much worthy for them because compared to them Lucknow and Dehli Capital has much more chances to qualify for playsoff if CSK some how didn't manage to inn Thier self in next round so if some dreaming for RCB qualifying for semifinals them they should stop thinking and dreaming about that despite any mericle happened and rain wash rest of thier team match and then RCB won the rest of thier matches by huge margin which mean it isn't possible at current season may be we will have in future anyway congratulations to RCB on his stunning victory and most importantly Virat spectacular innings which really put them on track otherwise they lost Thier track by quick early two dismissal.

RCB that they have a good squad but I don't understand why they are lagging behind. But it must be said that today's performance was more exciting than their other day's. They have shown great interest in increasing their scores since the beginning. Virat Kohli's bat work brilliantly especially in today's match. His innings of 92 runs off 47 balls contributed the highest to the team's victory. If he could have performed well in the previous matches, they would have had more chances to win but they didn't. However, there is no guarantee that a player will perform well every day in cricket. If they could have held their wickets in every match then their team position could have been higher.

Bengaluru's batsmen as well as their bowlers performed very well today. The pitch was completely batting friendly. So Bengaluru could not have won this match if the Bengaluru bowlers did not bowl well today. Even the Punjab players batted very well in the first 10 overs. And the match was under Punjab's control. However, since Rossouw was out, Punjab's batting started to slow down.

Punjab team lost all the wickets within 17 overs. Punjab's collection was 181 runs in 17 overs. The Punjab team was defeated by a margin of 60 runs. Swapnil Singh, Ferguson and Mohammad Siraj all bowled well. And due to the controlled bowling of the bowlers, the Bengaluru team won the match. Bengaluru won four matches in a row.

Just after couple of minutes you wrote this the match actually ended, maybe you didn't give any attention to the wickets column.

RCB won by 60 runs which means their hope of getting into playoffs are still alive, their position at the points table remain same but they ended the PBKS playoffs run with this victory.

Tomorrow there's another pre eliminator especially for GT, if they loss then it's their end of the season as well.

RCB batsmen have performed very well in today's match.  Their batsmen have scored runs in the match with great effort and struggle.  And still Sun has more chances to win.  This is because of their bowlers and their target.  Punjab King batsmen need 80 runs from 32 balls to win the match and it is very difficult for them to win.  If they accelerate their pace, they can win the match.And with the performance of their bowlers, this target has also become very difficult.  Their bowlers are working hard stopping runs and taking wickets.  Punjab King's chances of winning the match have greatly reduced.  His bowling is also doing very well.But at present their performance is very bad.

This game is reached to end and only 20 balls left for play and PBKS team needs 65 runs to chase. In start, PBKS team won toss and they have good opportunity to take good decision but PBKS team elected to bowl in pitch and this decision has beend proved against PBKS team. I know this game is not end yet but in 20 balls, 65 runs for chase not possible for any team. Now this game was ended not and PBKS team lost this game by 60 runs. From bat side, Kohli effort was commendable and he scored 92 runs in 47 balls and he hitted seven 4s and six 6s but I feel guilty for Kohli 8 runs left for century but dismissed by Arshdeep bowler. R.Patidar also made a good combo in bat with Kohli and he also made 55 runs. M.Siraj also bowled out 3 wickets in 4 overs with 43 runs. S.Singh, L.Ferguson and K.Sharma all these bowlers also made very brilliant effort and took down 2 wickets each bowler. Now RCB team rank is 7 th and don't have much h chance in semi final game.

Punjab have already lost 6 wickets. And right now I will say Punjab will not win this match. But so far Punjab's run rate is very good. The Punjab team is collecting an average of more than 11 per over.

At the end of 14 overs, Punjab Kings collected 153 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. Rilee Rossouw was dismissed for 61 off 27 balls and Shashank Singh was dismissed for 37 off 19 balls. If these two batsmen could survive at the crease, perhaps the Punjab team would have been able to win the match. Sam Curran and Ashutosh Sharma are now at the crease. Punjab team needs to score a massive 89 runs from 36 balls to win. About 15 runs should be collected per over.

RCB's comeback in the previous matches is really commendable. Nissandhi team could have been in the top 2 if such a performance could have been done from the beginning of the season. But the performances of both Bengaluru's batsmen and bowlers in the early matches of the season were very erratic.

The team has collected a huge score of 241 runs today. It is a big collection no doubt, but such a run on such a flat pitch is not unusual. If Bengaluru's bowlers fail to perform well after giving a big target then Bengaluru are likely to lose.

Punjab's batsmen are playing very well. Punjab's collection is 107/2 in 9 overs. Rille Rossouw scored an unbeaten 61 off just 27 balls.

Honestly RCB batsmen batted very well today if they could have played the match with such intensity in the beginning of IPL then definitely rcb could have made top four but now it will be like a dream because if RCB wins today match it will be very difficult for RCB to. However, in today's match RCB batsmen batted very commendably.  RCB collected 247 runs in the allotted 20 overs which is a huge score for RCB in this IPL. King Virat Kohli batted very well in today's match. Virat Kohli played an excellent innings of 92 runs from 47 balls. The way RCB batsmen batted with power in today's match if RCB bowlers can bowl aggressively against punjab kings from the start then surely rcb can win the match by huge margin. Given a target of 248 runs to Punjab Kings which will not be very easy for Punjab Kings, of course if Punjab want to win the target of 248 runs then they will have to bat aggressively from the start otherwise they will never be able to win the match against RCB.

RCB is here to make a statement for sure, I don't mind whether they qualify or not but at last they are playing in the way that's how they supposed to play since the beginning but nevertheless they posted big target which may looks easy considering this year's IPL target and chases but I won't rule out the score board pressure which gives better advantage for RCB in my opinion.

After winning toss having field first was wrong decision as things are pretty good for the RCB with right now after 20 overs having 241 is impressive target to defend because now RCB is playing aggressive game, and they are giving their best for having a chance for top four even this is looking not possible in reality, but dream is on specially we have amazing hitting from the Virat Kohli who score 92 runs on 47 balls and bring his team at the stage with the help of the Patidar and Cameroon Green.

Harshal Patel bowl impressive last over as mostly were expecting RCB will be having 250+ but he restricted them on this figure as give just 3 runs and takes 2 wickets which is good over in these conditions now can PBKS battling lineup do something specially it's going to be interesting.

The captain of Punjab Kings decided to bowl first after winning the toss, the bowlers of Punjab Kings used this decision well in the beginning and put RCB under a lot of pressure by taking two wickets in the beginning.  However, King Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar batted responsibly for RCB. These two batsmen, Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar, are batting very well and due to their excellent batting, RCB is going to give a big target to Punjab Kings. Rajat Patidar was dismissed for 55 runs from 23 balls and King Virat Kohli was dismissed for 92 runs from 47 balls.  Really feel bad for Virat Kohli today because King Virat Kohli didn't get century for 8 runs. But the way RCB is batting, it seems that RCB can give a target of 230 runs to Punjab Kings.

RCB batted brilliantly in the first innings today and managed to put up a huge score. RCB batsmen are in great form in today's match with the runs they made today they might be able to beat Punjab Kings. Virat Kohli batted brilliantly in today's match, he had an amazing mind-blowing batting performance, he scored 92 runs in 47 balls but unfortunately fell short of the century by getting out. Virat Kohli's amazing ram for his team was the most exciting in today's match, he would have been able to score a lot more runs if he could have stayed till the end. However, all the batsmen who are in batting form at the moment have also played well Rajat Patidar and batting brilliantly especially in today's match every batsman has done brilliantly. Today's match is more brilliant batting in the last minute, Dinesh Karthik and Cameron Green are the most excited in the last minute. RCB may score 250 plus runs in today's match and may win this match, but Punjab team may not win this match successfully if they have to chase this target.

Bengaluru will continue their winning streak. Bengaluru team has won all the last three matches. Bangalore players have performed very well. Bengaluru is batting brilliantly in today's match as well. Especially Virat Kohli is in very good form. He has batted well in the previous matches as well.

At the end of 17.4 overs, Bengaluru managed to collect 211 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. Virat Kohli has just been dismissed. Virat Kohli returned to the dressing room after collecting 92 runs from 47 balls. Cameroon Green is also unbeaten with 37 runs from 22 balls. Rajat Patidar also performed brilliantly today. Rajat Patidar got out after collecting 55 runs from just 23 balls.

The Punjab captain won the toss and decided to field today. But the bowlers did not perform well today. The Bengaluru team is moving towards a big target. The Bengaluru team is likely to provide a target of around 240.

Today Virat Kohli opened the innings and in the first ball, there is no score and I think Royal Challengers Bengaluru have to make good runs in the starting because it helps to win this match and with a good run rate.

I am sure that if Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar can take the team into the win but just play with patience and play with at least an 8 or 9 run rate. At this time, there run rate is around 11 to 12 which is too good. We might see a twist in the match as there is rain and the match is not stopped due to rain. I am sure  Royal Challengers Bengaluru would not wanted this rain as they were going too nicely in the match. It is drizzling out there but remember if no more play is possible then it will not be good for both teams as then both RCB and Punjab Kings will be eliminated from the race to the knockouts.

Just before this drizzle started, Rajat Patidar lost his wicket and he was out at 55 runs. He made these runs in 23 balls only and has done the duty for his team. However, keep in mind that both these teams will want the play to resume to give themselves a chance to remain in the IPL.

Yes wait is finished now and both squads Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad and Punjab Kings sqaud entered on crease for displaying their skills on their innings. Toss already done among both squads Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad against Punjab Kings squad. Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad ahs begun this match with start of batting Inning by inviting of Punjab Kings squad. 10 overs were successfully batted by RCB batters and in these overs, Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad performance was unbelievable and impressive because their squad members managed to collect 119 scores with lost of 3 batter wickets. Virat Kohli still is playing his batting Inning on crease and he played total 23 deliveries and collect 42 scores which seem very amazing. Faf du Plessis was unable to display important inning and wiped out at 8 scores and one more batter who displayed very fantastic job in previous match but in current fight, he was also cleared out at 12 scores and batter name is Will Jack. One more batter fell down recently and but his strength in batting was appreciable because he collected 55 scores and this batter called Rajat Patidar. If Virat Kohli will not out at end of their inning and they also hit power shots and build strong batting partnership with upcoming batter then I sure RCB squad will successfully collect 250 scores almost. Defeating this target will become hard for Punjab Kings squad.

In the second over, the team of Royal Challengers Bengaluru didn’t made a good score but the Royal Challengers Bengaluru played very good in the first over then the first three ball didn't make sense to play with no good runs and now suddenly a boundary hit and the over has been also finished.

I also think that they should not have to depend on just boundaries and have to take runs by using single and double methods and also focus that both players have to stay until the last for Royal Challengers Bengaluru win because these are the two main players of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Faf du Plessis did get out making 9 runs only however Virat Kohli is still in the crease and he is the one who is expected to make big runs today. He is not of at 30 and Royal Challengers Bengaluru expect him to make a 100 today.
