In an exciting encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) faced off against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The game witnessed a complete domination from KKR as they ended up winning the contest by 7 wickets.
Virat Kohli guides RCB to a competitive total
Asked to bat first, the Challengers posted a competitive total of 182/6 in their allotted 20 overs. Former skipper Virat Kohli played a brilliant innings, scoring 83 runs off 59 deliveries, supported by contributions from Cameron Green (33 runs off 21) and Glenn Maxwell (28 runs off 19). However, the rest of the batting order couldn’t quite capitalize, with Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, and Dinesh Karthik falling relatively cheaply.
Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine lead KKR to comfortable win
In response, Kolkata Knight Riders chased down the target with ease, reaching 186/3 in just 16.5 overs. Philip Salt (30 runs off 20), Sunil Narine (47 runs off 22), Venkatesh Iyer (50 runs off 30), and Shreyas Iyer (39 runs off 24) played crucial innings to secure victory for their team.
Despite some resistance from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers, notably Yash Dayal (1 wicket for 46 runs) and Mayank Dagar (1 wicket for 23 runs), Kolkata Knight Riders’ batting prowess prevailed. In the end, KKR emerged victorious, winning the match by 7 wickets with 19 balls to spare.
