RCB Need 180 To Win!
PBKS ended strongly as they set a challenging 180-run target for RCB to chase in 20 overs. Skipper KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 91 runs off 57 balls and stitched together a 61-run sixth wicket partnership off 32 balls with Harpreet Brar. They collected 22 runs in the 20th over off Harshal Patel.

Earlier Chris Gayle scored 46 runs off 24 balls while Brar pitched in with 25 runs off 17 balls to recover from a patchy start.

RCB opener Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli will have to be at their very best to chase down the target. Stay tined for the run-chase!
