A complete demolition at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. got off to a solid start of 42 in the powerplay after electing to bat first. Maxwell coming in at 3 took the attack to the opposition in the middle overs while Faf played second fiddle from the other end. Maxwell and Faf scored 54(33) and 55(44) respectively and a cameo of 29(11) from Rawat at the backend saw RCB post a target of 171. RCB started in a spectacular fashion with the ball getting the top three within 2 overs. Parnell picking three wickets in the powerplay doing maximum damage left very little scope for to stage a comeback. RR was reduced to 28 for 5 in the powerplay and then it was the spinners that ran through the lower order in no time. RR batting was summed up for just 59 which is the third-lowest score in the history of IPL! Cricket is a great leveler indeed! 

Sanju Samson, Skipper: " I think our top three were scoring a lot of runs, we go hard in the powerplay but it didn’t come out today. Credit to the RCB bowlers for their energy and intensity. I think it was a target within reach and the game could have gone to the wire, I expected a tight match if we had a decent first six. But that is the way, Jaiswal, and Buttler have been playing throughout the tournament.  I don't think I have an answer to the collapse yet. We all know the nature of the league, anything can happen at any time. We have to be strong, take a day off, and think about the upcoming match in Dharamshala. We have to take responsibility on the whole as a team for this performance."

Faf Du Plessis, Skipper: "  Good for our Netrunrate. Tough pitch to bat on. We batted first and assessed the conditions well.  In the powerplay, we realized that 160 will be a good total. We also managed to capitalize on the momentum shift at the end. Michael Bracewell would want to bowl like this every day of the week, especially on a track like this. Wrist spin could have been an attacking option. Hopefully, we can set it up for the last game at the Chinnaswamy. They needed this confidence to go into the last two games."

Wayne Parnell is Player of the Match

Wayne Parnell: " Credit to our batters to get a target like that on such a track. The last overplayed by Rawat gave us momentum. The message was clear, it was to take pace off the ball. Maintain stump line. We were able to execute everything well today. The surface was low, slow, and skiddy. I Was just trying to make them play across the line. My preparations while I was not playing were the same.  It is a long tournament and you need to be switched on every game."
