Rajasthan Royals scored 30 off the last 2 overs. But just 31 off the 7 before that as RR completely lost the plot.
Earlier on, Buttler failed and that set RR back who tried Ashwin at 3 which did not come off either. Samson and Mitchell strung a partnership together before the RR captain had his usual brainfade against Hasaranga and fell.
Mitchell struggled and that put pressure on the others to increase the scoring. It looked like RCB would be chasing something around 125 but Parag had other ideas.
He stuck around and then wielded his willow in the last 2 overs to help his side. Just his 2nd fifty in his IPL career and he has given his side something to bowl at. RCB’s bowling was exceptional led by Hazlewood and Faf got his moves right most of the time.
Hazlewood picked 2 wickets after bowling 4 overs at an economy rate of just 4.80 where he spilled 19 runs with a maiden over. Siraj and W Hasaranga too bagged 2 wickets each.
