A total team effort by CSK which saw them defend a modest score.
Despite early junctures, Virat Kohli (48), Dinesh Karthik (23) and AB De Villiers (21) threatened to take the game away from CSK.
But Ashish Nehra's 3 for 19 and Dwayne Bravo's impressive 2 for 17 applied the breaks on the RCB innings.
CSK deservedly take two points whereas RCB will rue after this loss.

And CSK finish on a competitive total here.
Suresh Raina's 52 was the talking point for their batting which never really took off post a blazing start.
Contributions from Brendon McCullum, Faf Du Plessis and Ms Dhoni also pushed CSK to a 149 run total.
It will be interesting to see whether RCB can gun down CSK's bowlers in the run-chase.
