Chennai Super Kings' bowlers struggled to contain RCB's explosive batting line-up, with Shardul Thakur being the most successful with two wickets for 61 runs. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to prevent RCB from posting a challenging total.
In the end, Royal Challengers Bengaluru emerged victorious with a strong batting performance, setting a high target for Chennai Super Kings to chase. With this win, RCB strengthened their position in the league and continue to be a formidable force to reckon with.
