Match Analysis (Why did RCB win?)

The main reason for RCB's victory in this match was their batting intent and execution .

  • First, they scored 76 runs in the powerplay and brought the momentum of the match to their side.
  • Secondly, Virat Kohli anchors the innings, while Padikkal and Patidar reduce the pressure with aggressive batting.
  • Thirdly, SRH bowlers could not maintain consistency—especially giving away extra runs in the death overs.

On the other hand, SRH, despite scoring 200+ runs, had a fragmented innings. Their reliance on Ishan Kishan alone became a big problem for them.
