They wear jerseys of the same colour but of different shades. And they played a similar brand of cricket when they met in a crunch IPL match in Sharjah on Sunday. But what separated Royal Challengers Bangalore from Punjab Kings was that Virat Kohli & Co dug deeper than KL Rahul’s men. The result: Royal Challengers Bangalore registered a six-run win to stroll into the playoffs with two matches to spare.
Chasing a competitive 164/7 put up by RCB, the highest total at the venue this season, Punjab finished on 158/6. The result leaves their qualification chances hanging by a thread. While Glenn Maxwell (57, 33b, 3x4, 4x6) again starred with the bat for RCB, Yuzvendra Chahal (3/29) and Harshal Patel set the ball rolling for a fine win.
Opting to bat on a wicket that slowed down as the match progressed, RCB’s opening pair of Kohli (25) and Devdutt Padikkal (40, 38b, 4x4; 2x6) got the team off to a brisk start. However, the skipper struggled to connect, and after a few misses, his frustration was palpable.
