Rising Pune Supergiant 161/8 (20 ov)
Pune won by 27 runs
Brilliant performance by RPS bowlers.
They read the conditions beautifully and opted good way to tied down the opponents.
The plan was to bowl slower back of length deliveries right into the pitch so that the RCB batsmen couldn’t tackle it.
The home side had initially got off to a decent start against the new ball which was coming on much better. That’s where credits were given to Tahir for initiating different course to the game and constructing pressure on the team which included the wicket of AB de Villiers.
Stokes took timely wickets of Kohli and Watson.
And Unadkat and Thakur, who might have been the major worries going into this, stepped up magnificently at the death on a pitch which was slowing rapidly.
Ben Stokes is Man of the Match.
