THE CHASE...

Right then! 182 is the target for Lucknow. Just like Faf du Plessis, someone needs to anchor the innings for Lucknow and they will rely on KL Rahul to be the one. An exciting chase is on the other side of this break.

Jason Holder is in for a quick chat. He says there is something in the wicket for the spinners. Mentions the batters should make full use of the Powerplay. Adds that the ball did not grip much in the first innings. Says that the target is chaseable and they just have to get off to a solid start.

Lucknow will be a tad disappointed that despite creating so much pressure early on, they have to chase a big score. Chameera started well with two big wickets but leaked runs later. Lucknow created pressure from one end but the bowlers did not capitalize from the other side, that just helped Bangalore to get stability. Bishnoi struggled with his lines while Khan and Holder were decent today.

Bangalore were in all sorts of trouble with their top order all being sent back inside the Powerplay but the good thing was they had their skipper out. He needed to play the anchor innings and he played it brilliantly. Despite wickets falling at the other end, Bangalore were scoring at a really good rate. Faf du Plessis and Shahbaz Ahmed started the repair work and built a stand of 70 to help the ship get stable. Ahmed played his part and the eyes were again on Karthik who is in the form of his life. He played his part but it was all about Faf du Plessis who stood almost till the end and helped Bangalore to 181.

A magnificent innings from Faf du Plessis who missed out on his maiden century in this tournament by just four runs. He started slowly but unleashed himself as the game progressed and played yet another superb knock. Bangalore will be really happy with the score. After the start they had, it was their skipper, Faf who stood up when it mattered the most and his 96 has helped Bangalore put a defendable score.
