RR bowler's gave them unexpected win over RCB
Hello, good afternoon and welcome to my blog @birjudanak once again. Hope everyone doing great. It was an easy chance for RCB to win this match as a target was not that big but still not able to manage it and RR won it comfortably. It's another poor game by RCB and time to discuss in detail so let's start it.
RCB won the toss and no surprise they took the bowl first. This time RCB did a great start to the powerplay as Siraj took the first two-wicket quickly but the Most important wicket of Buttler took by Hazelwood which took them on backfoot as 33/3 in the power play as it was a big test for RR as they were never before in this kind of situation in this season where they got strong start every time.
Samson played some wonderful shots too as looks like he will take charge but he was out with playing a poor reverse swipe shot which he was not playing regularly. The team was in deep trouble with his wicket and Otherside Daryle Mitchell also struggling to find a rhythm as not able to score runs. with the wickets of Mitchell and Hetmayer, RR lost all hope as they were 102/6 in the 16th over.
Where all hope was lost, Riyan Parag played such a superb knock as sure he played the best inning of his life. RCB also took it lightly as they played so loose at the end of the inning with missed field and catch. Once it looks like RR maybe not pass 130 but a dropped catch of Parag and the last two overs 30 runs took his team's total to 144 where the bowler got some hope to defend as they have a good bowling lineup. Parag has scored unbeaten 56 runs while Hazelwood, Siraj, and Hasaranga took 2 wickets each.
In reply, RCB changed the batting order as Kohli came to open with Faf as he was struggling since playing first ball as well as missed chances 2-3 times but not next time as out on Krishna bouncer and once again Kohli out early and not able to score runs. Faf played nice shots and look like he will take his team comfortably as the target was low but he was out on the super-length ball of Kuldeep Sen as the beat of pace and bounce. Maxwell was also out on the very first ball as RCB also lost 3 on 37.
Previously Shahbaz and Karthik played superbly while both teams met last time as this time also it look like same but this time Shahbaz was not able to score runs as well as Karthik was run out early too so RCB all hope gone as none of their players played promising shots which took them to victory. Lost one wicket after another cost them lost the match as they were only able to score 115 runs and lost by 29 runs in a low-scoring game.
Riyan Parag got Man of The Match awards but my one was Kuldeep Sen who took 4 wickets and change the match result towards RR. Faf and Maxwell's back-to-back wickets were the turning point of the match. That's it from me for today and stay tuned for the next post.

Sometimes the low scoring matches are the best to watch. Every run is crucial. One partnership or big over could win the match. Credit to Parag, he's not had much batting this year given the form of the Royal's top order but when they needed him, he stood and played a great innings that set it up for his bowlers to have a chance.
Yes true sometime mental strength also needed as if good total on board then bowler likes to bowl with full confidence. Parag indeed played well but RCB took lightly RR which cost them.
