132/8 (20.0/20)
169/4 (20.0/20)
Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Chennai Super Kings by 37 runs
That's all from this game! What a win for Bangalore! They get their fourth win of the tournament and are full of confidence after this victory! Chennai, on the other hand, have been poor with the bat and that is a thing they need to improve upon. The weekend is not over yet as Sunday, 11th October sees another double-header starting with the clash between Rajasthan and Hyderabad, followed by Delhi going up against Mumbai. The action starts at 1400 Local (1000 GMT). The build-up will begin much before that. Join us for that. Until then, cheers and take care.
Virat Kohli, the Bangalore skipper and the MAN OF THE MATCH, says it is one of their most complete performances. They got into a tricky situation in the first half but they pushed forward nicely. They felt 150 would be great but they ended up getting 20 plus on that tricky wicket and he is very pleased with the win. Mentions it is about understanding the conditions and respecting the game and it always gives you extra motivation. Informs he was putting a lot of pressure on himself and was not watching the ball closely but that Super Over changed things for him and he started enjoying the game and he was hitting the ball well after that. Adds Morris did not get an opportunity with the bat but he was brilliant with the ball and in the field, they were excellent today right from the ball one. Ends by saying he is looking forward to the upcoming games.
Washington Sundar is in for a chat. He says that he is very happy to bowl in the Powerplay and is pleased to do well against a team like Chennai. Adds that everything is working according to plan. Sundar mentions that it is hard to bowl in the Powerplay and hopes that he continues to perform well. States that Morris was brilliant and everything went well for them. Says that they did not plan a lot and is happy that they are on the winning side.
MS Dhoni, the Chennai skipper, says that the last 4 overs in their bowling was poor. Adds that the batting is a worry and it was evident in this game as well. States that they are better off playing the big shots and if they get out, it does not matter and they will look at doing that in the upcoming games. Goes onto say that their batting has lacked firepower in the middle overs and ultimately the batters need to have an idea about which shot to play and they have not come with a plan on how to attack till the 14th over. Adds that he has always told the players to focus on process rather than previous results. Says that there are many holes to plug. Says that overall, they have to look at their combination and there is always one positon to swap with a foreign bowler or an Indian bowler.
The bowling was excellent from Bangalore! Sundar was brilliant up front. So were the pacers who bowled in the Powerplay. Chahal was a touch expensive but due to the excellent performance from Morris and Sundar, him being expensive did not matter. Overall, it is an excellent performance from Bangalore which was led by their skipper.
A very convincing win in the end for Bangalore! To be honest after the carnage Kohli caused with the bat towards the end in their innings it probably sealed the game for his side. 170 was always going to be a very tough chase. Chennai needed something special but no one produced anything. The openers fell cheaply. Rayudu and Jagadeesan did play themselves in but got out when it was time to up the ante. Dhoni too could not do something out of the box. In the end, it was a target which was way above par and Chennai fell well short.

Washington Sundar To Faf du Plessis OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Sundar comes into the attack and picks up a wicket immediately. It is of the big one, Faf du Plessis! Bangalore needed a good start and they have got it! Loopy ball on middle, du Plessis dances down the track and looks to heave it over deep mid-wicket but it has gone to the longer part of the ground. Morris settles himself under it at deep mid-wicket and takes a comfortable catch. Chennai need 151 in 16 overs.
