Second Innings Summary :
Having to chase 288 runs in 20 overs, RCB did start well with Kohli & Faf du Plessis, but that wasn’t enough to get past the target. After Kohli’s wicket fell skipper Faf continued to hit run as quickly as possible, but no other batsman stood by him. Kohli scored 42(20) and Faf made 62(28) which wasn’t enough at all. Dinesh Karthik did try to pull things back with his tremendous innings of 83 runs off 35 balls, but it was too late. Pat Cummins picked up 3 wickets for SRH and Mayank Markande picked 2. In the end, SRH defended their highest IPL total by 25 runs.
