Batting first, RCB scored 172/8, thanks to knocks from Rajat Patidar (34), Virat Kohli (33) and Mahipal Lomror (32). In reply, Rajasthan Royals chased down the target of 173 with six balls to spare.

In bowling, senior India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin bowled beautifully to finish with excellent figures of 2/19 in four overs while taking the wickets of Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell off successive balls. Avesh Khan took 3/44 in his four overs.

Speaking after RCB’s exit, captain Du Plessis said, “With the dew coming, we felt we were short with the bat. Did think we were 20 runs shy of what was a good score. Credit to the boys – they fought really well. That’s all you can ask for. If you look at naturally assessing the pitch and conditions, you would say it’s a 180 pitch because it was swinging upfront and was quite slow. But what we’ve found out this season, with the impact player, the par score isn’t enough any more. Also with the dew coming in.”
