RR vs RCB Highlights IPL 2023: Wayne Parnell And Co Guide Royal Challengers Bangalore to Massive 112-run Win

Virat Kohli takes a simple catch as Royal Challengers Bangalore demolish Rajasthan Royals here. A massive 112-run win for Faf du Plessis and Co. to put their campaign back on track here. Absolutely sensational from RCB bowlers to bundle out Rajasthan Royals’ star-studded batting line-up for just 59. Rajasthan just failed to match the intensity of the opposition and RCB claimed the two crucial points. Royal Challengers Bangalore (171/5) beat Rajasthan Royals (59) by 112 runs

Karn Sharma also gets a wicket here as he castle Adam Zampa for 2. The chaos continues in Rajasthan Royals’ camp here as Zampa went for a reverse sweep and got castled. RR 59/9 in 10.1 overs

And big man Shimron Hetmyer becomes the victim of Glenn Maxwell here. The Windies’ batter went for another big shot but failed to time it well this time and got caught by Michael Bracewell. His 35-run knock came to an end as RR are marching towards an embarrassing defeat here. RR 59/8 in 9.5 overs 

Another good over from Michael Bracewell as six runs came off it. He almost got the better of Shimron Hetmyer as Virat Kohli displayed a good effort near the boundary line to get to the ball but failed to hold on to it. RR 56/7 in 9 overs

Nothing is going in Rajasthan Royals’ favour as after Hetmyer’s three sixes Ravichandran Ashwin departs for a duck without facing any ball. Good presence of mind from Anuj Rawat here to target the stumps as everyone is in disbelief after the third umpire’s decision that Ashwin was just inches short of the crease. RR 50/7 in 8 overs

Shimron Hetmyer is dealing in sixes here as he smashes Karn Sharma for three sixes on a trot. He looks like a man on a mission but he needs support from the other end here. RR 49/6 in 7.5 overs

OUT! Another Rajasthan Royals batter bites the dust as Dhruv Jurel departs for just. The dot-ball pressure forced him to play a big shot but he failed to find the distance and got caught near the boundary line by Mahipal Lomoror. Rajasthan Royals six down as Michael Bracewell gets his second. RR 31/6 in 7 overs

Wayne Parnell gets his third wicket of the match and he gets the better of another big Rajasthan Royals star here. Joe Root departs for 10 not the ideal first innings for him in IPL. He also wasted the review here but RR won’t mind losing the review as they wanted Root in the middle at any coast. Rajasthan Royals half down already. RR 28/5 in 5.3 overs

OUT! Mohammed Siraj grabs a good catch here as Devdutt Padikkal takes a long walk back towards the pavilion. Michael Bracewell strikes in his first over itself and Rajasthan Royals are four down already. The dot ball pressure was there and RCB are now all over the hosts. RR 20/4 in 4.2 overs

Another good over from Wayne Parnell here as only three runs came off it. The pressure is mounting on Joe Root and Devdutt Padikkal as they can’t afford to play too many dot balls here as it will make things worse for Rajasthan. RR 19/3 in 4 overs

DRS SAVED ROOT! Mohammed Siraj almost got the better of Joe Root there but the DRS call saved the Englishman from embarrassment in his first IPL innings. 5 runs came off the over and RR need a partnership here to bounce back. RR 16/3 in 3 overs

SANJU SAMSON FALLS! Another big wicket for Royal Challengers Bangalore as Wayne Parnell strikes again to get the better of Sanju Samson for 4 as Anuj Rawat takes a good catch here. Rajasthan Royals’ innings in disarray here as they have lost the big three early in the knockout clash here. Absolutely sensational from Parnell and RCB here. RR 7/3 in 1.4 overs

DUCK FOR JOS BUTTLER! Horrible start for Rajasthan Royals as both openers depart for ducks. Jos Buttler look to cut it over point but Mohammed Siraj was placed there and he took an easy catch. Wayne Parnell gets the massive wicket for RCB as the visitors’ fans are pumped now in Jaipur. RR 6/2 in 1.2 overs

OUT! DUCK FOR YASHASVI JAISWAL! Man in form departs early on the second ball. Big blow for Rajasthan Royals as Mohammed Siraj once again provides an early breakthrough to RCB with the new ball. The young southpaw played it directly in Virat Kohli’s hands here. RR 1/1 in 0.2 over

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler are in the middle to open the innings for Rajasthan Royals. Mohammed Siraj has the ball in hand.

What a finish from Anuj Rawat! 6, 6 and 4 on the last three balls from Rawat to help Royal Challengers Bangalore cross the 170-run mark here. It’s a fighting total now for RCB and they have the bowling attack which can put up a fight here. Good knocks from Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell earlier to stabilize the innings while Rawat with his 29 off 11 gave the perfect finishing touch.

10 runs came off the penultimate over as Royal Challengers Bangalore crossed the 150-run mark here. However, they need a big final over here and Michael Bracewell has to swing his bat hard to connect the big shots. RCB should get 170 to feel a bit safe on this surface. RCB 153/9 in 19 overs

Glenn Maxwell for the reverse sweep here but Sandeep Sharma hits the timber. The Aussie looked disappointed with his shot selection here. Maxwell departs for 54 and the pressure is now on RCB as 170 looks far from here now. RCB 137/5 in 17.3 overs

Glenn Maxwell hits a six to reach his 18th half-century in Indian Premier League. Excellent knock from the Australian all-rounder as he continues to impress in the RCB jersey. He is looking to find the gaps here and not taking risks on every ball. 12 runs came off Yuzvendra Chahal’s over. RCB 135/4 in 17 overs

Adam Zampa strikes again as this time he gets the better of Dinesh Karthik. Good review from Sanju Samson was the on-field umpire thought it missed the leg-stump, however, the ball tracking worked in RR’s favour. Dinesh Karthik departs for a duck. RR 120/4 in 15.3 overs
