What drama! What excitement!
Royal Challengers Bangalore registered another win in a row. This is the second time they have beaten Kings XI Punjab.
Gayle and Rahul were at their attacking best in the powerplay, but could not do much. Rahul and Mayank put on a brilliant partnership, but they both departed in consecutive overs(10 and 11).
Pooran smashed five into the stands but his partner Miller(24 off 25), but Umesh and Saini were outstanding in the death. None of KXIP batsmen could clear the short boundaries and they could only manage 18 runs in the last three overs.
