RCB decided to bowl first, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal doing a solid job with the ball early on.

RR: 13/0 (2)

You can say that its a solid start to RR's innings, reaching 36/0 after 5 overs, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson at the crease, not a banger but they didn't lose any wickets either. Jaiswal has been the more aggressive of the two, smacking a six and a boundary off Yash Dayal. Samson, on the other hand, has been more reserved, managing just 5 off 11 balls so far.

RR: 36/0 (5)

Sanju Samson tried to step down the wicket to Krunal Pandya, but his timing was off. Jitesh Sharma was quick to remove the bails, and Samson is stumped for 15 off 19. However, it is indeed a frustrating exit for the RR captain as he was looking to find his rhythm.

RR: 49/1 (6.5)

Rajasthan Royals are trying to build a solid innings here, with 89/1 on the board after 11.1 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal has looked in good touch, ticking along nicely with 47 off 31 balls. Riyan Parag sitting on 25 off 16.

RR: 89/1 (11.1)

Riyan Parag has been dismissed for 30 off 22! Yash Dayal gets the breakthrough in the 13th over. It's a slower ball, short and wide outside off that flies straight to Kohli at cover, who takes a brilliant diving catch.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has anchored the innings with a half ton - 58 off 40 balls, while Dhruv Jurel, the new batter, has looked to settle in, scoring 1 off 3 balls.

RR: 112/2 (14.3)

What a massive blow for Rajasthan Royals! Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was looking in incredible touch, has been sent packing for 75 off 47 balls off Josh Hazlewood's delivery that was full on off and middle. He shuffled across to sweep it but misses, and the umpire raised his finger straight away for an LBW.

Jaiswal, clearly confident, reviews the decision, but it라이브 바카라 all in vain. The third umpire confirms the original call – OUT!

RR: 126/3 (15.6)

That's a great final push from Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer! After the shocking wicket of Jaiswal, the duo has stepped up big time, adding 37 runs off just 19 balls.

RCB라이브 바카라 fielding hasn’t helped their cause either—seven misfields and two dropped catches, including a sitter put down by Kohli at long-off.

With just five balls left, Rajasthan Royals are 163/3

Rajasthan Royals have put up a not so competitive yet challenging total of 173/4 on a tricky surface in Jaipur.

After Jaiswal's fiery 75 off 46, it was Dhruv Jurel who provided the late spark — a 23-ball 35. Nitish Rana chipped in with a boundary off the final ball to close things out in style.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal bowled well in patches, but the Royals will feel they’ve got just enough on a pitch that라이브 바카라 not the easiest for shot-making.

RCB might rely on their top order to step up in what could be a tense chase under lights.

RR: 173/4 (20)

In the last ball of the 13th over Yashasvi Jaiswal throws the ball to the deep mid wicket off Krunal Pandya's middle and off-stump delivery. Salt running to the boundary jumped and caught the ball in mid-air. He could not make it a wicket but saved a six!

Phil Salt and Virat Kohli are at the crease starting RCB's chase of 174. Jofra Archer opens RR's bowling attack.

After surviving a huge LBW scare off Jofra Archer--where replays showed umpire라이브 바카라 call on impact and Rajasthan Royals opted not to review--Phil Salt has exploded into action! The Englishman smashed 23 off 12 balls so far including a low full toss for four through mid-wicket and then six over backward square leg.

Shimron Hetmyer put in a full-length dive on the boundary for the earlier four, but couldn’t hold on--tough chance, and it goes down as a dropped catch.

RCB: 28/0 (2.3)

Phil Salt batting on 41 (21) and Virat Kohli on 18 (13). The required rate has dipped to 7.95 as the openers continue to dominate.

Salt has been the aggressor, he's clubbed 4 fours and 3 sixes, showing no mercy especially against Jofra Archer and Theekshana.

RCB: 60/0 (5.4)

Phil Salt was in beast mode today, tearing into the Royals’ bowling with a fearless 65 off just 33 balls. With 5 fours and 6 massive sixes, he had the crowd on their feet and RCB racing in the chase.

But just then Rajasthan brought on impact sub Kumar Kartikeya, and he delivered. A slightly short ball invited the pull—Salt went for it again, but this time he couldn’t connect cleanly. Yashasvi Jaiswal was waiting at deep midwicket and took a comfortable catch.

Kohli and Padikkal have slowed things down a touch but kept control.

Kohli, ever the anchor, is batting on 33 off 32, while Padikkal has moved to 13 off 12.

Kartikeya and Parag tried to squeeze the scoring, but Padikkal ended the 12th over with a fine leg glance for four. The run rate is in check, and with 56 needed from 43 balls and nine wickets in hand, RCB look firmly in the driver's seat.

RCB: 118/1 (12.5)

The Chase Master, Virat Kohli, continues to show why he's in a class of his own, finishing unbeaten on 63 off 45 balls. This, paired with Padikkal라이브 바카라 36 off 27, helped RCB chase down the target of 174 with 2.3 overs to spare.

RCB: 175/1 (17.3)

With this win, RCB remain unbeaten in away matches this season so far winning four matches. However, they are yet to seal victory at Chinnaswamy losing two matches.

Philip salt earns the Player Of The Match honour. In the post match event he said, "Very pleased, always pleased to contribute to a win. The venue was slightly different; pleased that I could put a stamp on the game for the lads. (On his duel with Jofra) I gave a chance, trying to hit through the off-side. He was swinging it a long way so I realised there's only one area I could target. Me and Jofra have had a lot of battles in the nets, nice to have a wood on him. The wicket was slower and lower. I had a real opportunity in the powerplay. Rajasthan played quite well. Our bowlers got the plans right. It worked for us with the bat."

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will next face Punjab Kings on April 17 while the Rajasthan Royals will take on Delhi Capitals on April 16.
