9.15pm A solid effort that will please Faf du Plessis and the millions of RCB fans. They won a good toss and did everything asked of their bowlers. Akash Deep was tapped around but had better returns with three wickets, while Wanindu Hasaranga sliced through the middle order in a terrific spell, picking up four wickets. Later in the piece, Harshal Patel, with his truckloads of variations, brought his experience to the fore to keep the lower order honest. RCB would've taken this at the toss and will back themselves to chase this down.
