The match didn’t feel that close in reality. Prior to the game, one would assume that Lucknow Super Giants will put up some fight, but once the proceedings begin, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru were simply better than their opponents in most areas.
LSG won the toss and decided to bat first. But right from the time they started batting, it was evident that there is definitely something fishy about the way they are performing. The players don’t seem to get into their groove, and even when they form any sort of partnerships, it doesn’t really convince you whether or not they will score enough runs. Once they managed to score 146 all out, it’s apparent that they would not have scored enough runs.RCB bowlers should receive a considerable amount of credit for this performance. Even though the team did not have any brilliant individual displays, they were very efficient with both their economy rate and wickets. Both Rasikh Salam and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were causing problems for LSG batsmen.
Chasing proved to be an easy task for RCB.
Even though the side managed to lose a few players early on, there was nothing threatening about their situation. Virat Kohli’s innings was no different and was quite cautious as well.
Not only did the RCB win the match, but they were completely dominating the entire match throughout. What’s more, they are now occupying the top spot in the table rankings as a result of this win, and they will have to maintain it.
Key Moments from RCB vs LSG match
- LSG struggled and were bowled out for 146.
- RCB bowlers kept things tight throughout.
- Kohli’s 49 set the tone for the chase.
- RCB won by 5 wickets with 29 balls left.
Final thoughts!
Not every win needs to be dramatic. Sometimes, it’s just about doing the basics better—and that’s exactly what RCB did here. LSG will probably look back at this and feel they left runs out there. RCB, on the other hand, will take this as a clean, professional performance.
