DLF IPL Season 5 - Match 30
Rajasthan
Royals Vs Royal Challengers, Bangalore
at Sawai
Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to field. Kohli and Dilshan opened the innings for
RCB. Kohli suffered another failure and
got out for 16 runs. Dilshan continued
to play his shots. Mayank Agarwal and
Chris Gayle got out at the other end to disturb his flow of runs. But the moment AB De Villers joined Dilshan
there was no further hurdle and the pair garnered runs at a tremendous
pace. Dilshan remained unbeaten on 76
from 58 balls and AB blasted 59 off 23 balls and remained unbeaten. Thanks to their effort RCB could post a
mammoth score of 189/3. Not a single
Rajasthan bowler was spared by the RCB batsmen which is evident from their
expensive bowling figures.
Dravid and Rahane started the chase well. Dravid was looking very fluent. Rahane got out making just 13 runs. Losing Owais Shah and Goswami for paltry scores,
Dravid ran out of support and finally got out making 58 runs off 42 balls. Batsmen who followed him could not manage the
increase in required run rate and they finally surrendered a huge win to RCB by
46 runs. Appanna was the pick of the
bowlers for RCB claiming 4/19 from 4 overs.
This huge win enabled RCB to get 2 points and become the 6th team with 8
points. Royals slipped down to the 4th
position elevating the KKR to the 2nd Spot and Pune Warriors to the 3rd Spot.
