PBKS vs RCB, IPL 2022, Highlights: Punjab Kings on Sunday defeated RCB by 5 wickets in the ongoing IPL 2022 season at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Chasing a target of 206, PBKS chased down the target with one over to go, thanks largely to Shahrukh Khan and Odean Smith's late surge. Shahrukh and Smith stitched an unbeaten partnership of 52 after RCB had pegged back PBKS with quick wickets. Earlier, Faf du Plessis led the way with a fine 88, while cameos from Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik powered RCB to a massive total of 205 for two. After being put on to bat first, Du Plessis and Anuj Rawat gave RCB a solid start, adding 50 runs for the first wicket before the latter was dismissed in the 7th over. RCB continued to pile on the runs as the captain and Kohli added 118 runs for the second wicket. However, Du Plessis missed out on his century, before Dinesh Karthik added much-needed fireworks to RCB's innings. For Punjab Kings, Rahul Chahar and Arshdeep Singh took a wicket apiece. Initially, PBKS won the toss and have opted to field. Both franchises will be with new captains and will be aiming for a win in this fixture. (SCORECARD)
Punjab Kings: M Agarwal (c), S Dhawan, L Livingstone, B Rajapaksa (wk), O Smith, S Khan, R Bawa, A Singh, H Brar, S Sharma, R Chahar
BIG WICKET! Another stunning catch from Rawat as Deep gets the dangerous Livingstone. Full ball, wide outside off. Livingstone tried to flay it over the off side. Wanted to play it over cover point, but gets it to deep extra cover instead.
Liam Livingstone c Anuj Rawat b Akash Deep 19 (10)
Siraj on fire. He bowls a full toss. Bawa is surprised as he tries the flick. Misses the shot, hits the pad, and the umpire raises his finger. First ball duck for the U19 WC star.
BIG! BIG! WICKET! Slower ball, quite full, and Dhawan is through the drive a touch too early. Straight to cover, who takes it at knee height. Soft dismissal.
Rajapaksa is using the core of his body quite well. Another short-pitched ball, another pull that has gone all the way for a six. Poor bowling from Akashdeep.
Hasaranga strikes with the first ball of the season. Mayank has smacked a short ball straight to square leg. He will upset with himself. Shahbaz at square leg dives to his right and pulls off a great catch.
Down the track and over the top. PBKS are running away in this run chase. RCB need a wicket from somewhere. This has been a disastrous bowling performance so far.
Mayank gets this over the top. Too full from Siraj, allowing him to come on the front foot confidently and hit through the line to loft this over long-off.
RCB get to 205/2. They were 57 for 1 after nine overs. The next 11 overs saw a run fest with du Plessis, Kohli and Karthik turning the heat on PBKS, who will have to chase 206 under the lights here at the DY Patil.
Goes downtown. It's DK once again. Slower and fuller in the slogging zone, and Karthik pummels it straight down the ground for a six. A very expensive over.
That's clever from DK. Full on leg and angling further down. DK could've collected the wide but why do that when the swipe can get him a six? Mowed over fine leg!
100 partnership up with that six. It's been largely a Du Plessis' show so far. His sixth six of the match. Arshdeep goes full, and a bit wider to make Faf reach out. He uses those muscles to swat a six over long off
The boundaries are flowing in at the moment. First Kohli and now Faf gets in on the act. Back to back boundaries from him. A very good over for RCB as the partnership crosses the 50-run mark.
Kohli shimmies down the track. He gets to the pitch, and lifts it clean over long-on with a free swing of the arms. Super shot. And much needed for RCB too.
And that's a terrific comeback from Rahul Chahar. Tossed up quicker, dips on him and defeats his big heave to the onside, spins through him and knocks the stumps over
Full on leg stump. du Plessis uses his wrists to gently flick it off his pads, and gets it fine enough to get a boundary to fine leg! Arshdeep is getting a lot of movement on the ball.
